About Me



TRNCHNT001 - Too Deep E.P - OUT NOW on iTunes!

TDUBSDIGI001 - Juju Dubstep Remix - OUT NOW on iTunes!

I produce Grime, Dubstep, Garage and House. I own a record label called Trenchant Recordings. Trenchant Recordings focuses primarily on urban sounds and draws influence from Grime, Dubstep, UK Garage, Bassline, Electro, Techno and House. There is also a dedicated Dubstep division called Trenchant Dubs. I am also a member of Chicago's Brüt Force Family alongside DJ's Sushi, Whoa-B, and Nogunri. 2008 is going to be the start of a new direction. Stay tuned for fresh new sounds.

Influences: I started listening to house and hip hop in the 80's. Then came the transition from hardcore breakbeat to jungle about '92-93 and later the more refined sounds of drum n bass. Around '98 a natural progression led me to UK garage. For me the UK always brings the freshest, most forward sounds. Respect to Beezy, Griminal, Maniac, Chipmunk, Vectra, Frisco, Saskilla, The Movement, O.G.'s, Dot Rotten, D.V.A., Shizzle, Amy King, Envy, PJam, Lady Fury, Disturbed Mandem, Sound Ninjas, Louie Lu, DJ Sketch'E, Nu Brand Flexxx, Fireworkz, Faction G, Nocturnal, Nite Knights, Ghetto, Scorcher, Wretch 32, Dimples, Jookie Mundo, Double O, Seb Zero, Sticky, Virgo, Big E-D, Burial, Mercston, OT Crew, Deverlish, Devlin, Ratchet, Nolay, D.E.Velopment, Mizz Brat, Vader, Mz Universe, Krucial, Dimples, Big Narstie, Tiny Tempah, Ruff Squad, L Man, Ears, Striver, Spyro, Aftershock, Purple, D'Explicit, DDark, Wonder, D Double E, Low Deep, Doctor, Dowee, Katie Pearl, Benga, Bruza, Essentials, N Double A, J2K, Cameo, JME, Nana, Dynasty Camp, Skepta, Wiley, Tinchy Stryder, Riko, Target, Geeneus, Crazy Titch, Skream, Da Black Ops, Karnage, Terror Danjah, Scratchy, J Sweet, Dizzee, Jammer, DaVinche, Roll Deep, Mak 10, Bossman, Scandalous Unlimited, N.A.S.T.Y., Rossi B & Luca, MRK1, Slimzee, Alias, Dumpvalve, Plastician, The Streets, M.I.A., So Solid, etc...... When I'm not listening to garage or dnb, I'm more than likely listening to something like: Suede, Verve, Ride, Placebo, The Smiths, The Tears, Bernard Butler, Richard Ashcroft, Muse, Elastica, Cast, My Bloody Valentine, Saint Etienne, Embrace, Oasis, Everything But The Girl, Portishead, Massive Attack, The Futureheads, Libertines, The Jam, Morrisey, Pulp, Elbow, Coldplay, Snow Patrol, Interpol, Curve, Idlewild, Longview, Starsailor, Dirty Pretty Things, Faithless, Keane, Hard-Fi, Doves, The Subways, Kaiser Chiefs, Babyshambles, Gorillaz, Kula Shaker, B.R.M.C., Jesus and Mary Chain, Spaceman 3, Spectrum, Spiritualized, Radiohead, Stone Roses, Primal Scream, Travis, Blur, Thee Hypnotics, The Sleepy Jackson, Artic Monkeys, MC5...and so on.
Sounds Like: Grime, Dubstep, UK Garage, Bassline and House...
