Influences:Devize, a master of the turntables, a veteran in producing in the studio, the record label an clothing line '3D Mode' as well as 3 sister labels and 3 aliases its not hard to see why he has the title '3 Star General'After first mixing hip hop beats at his local community centre at the age of 15, his passion for the scene had already being ignited by a Carl Cox tape. A couple of years passed an catching the end of the oldskool era playing at nights such as the classic Quest, Euphoria at the infamous Institute, an Antidote at the legendary Que Club following on with the change over to jungle and then to drum an bass as we all know and love.In 1996 he began his show for Kool Fm 'Deep, Dark an Deranged' (named this by the style of his beats) and 1998 he received a demo an Three A soon became his partner in crime and began producing. Skipping a few years of Dj..ing, producing & show hosting. After the strong radio response to their exclusive dubplates Devize an Three A set up 3D Mode Recs in 2000. Having his first release Lansee/ Bromide his studio skills have gone from strength to strength.By his own admission, the essence of his production style is not following trends always aiming for each tune to be emotionally different. With the delivery of Devize..s sound still being a fresh but as disgustingly raw as the first. One of his finest offering was the track ' Once Again' that was released on Doc Scott's imprint 31 Records.Working in the first 100% drum n bass record store Music First for three years, it was here where Devize and DJ Hazard joined forces in and outside the studio. As well as representing the Midlands and the UK taken his dark an deranged style to Switzerland, Canada, France, Germany an Austria. Devize truly has covered and thrive on every possible aspect of the scene.After serving his time on Kool Fm he then hosted a show on Pyrotechnic, then moving to Kindafunky where in 2006 won the title 'Best Special Guest'. In October that year he showcased the grimy style of the Midland..s on Radio 1's 1Xtra.So what possibly could be next for the 3 Star General, with no sign of stoppin, there's more deep and dark deranged beats from the 3D Mode lab such as his first solo EP 'Jerk n Stutter '. 'Rock n Roll Feat Mc Biggie' dropping on Bryan G' s label Chronic, Nuff Reasonz feat Lady Libra on DJ Hazard's Radius Records and also 'Neva Eva & Vision Red' on fellow Midlands label Blindside Records. The Expect Nothing Less Tour with the 3D Mode soldiers, as well as the exclusive Underground City/ Stimulus nights at Birmingham's, Custard Factory.
The dynasty of DJ Devize and 3D Mode continues...
