I've been making music since 95 after blagin my way into a studio with robbie dee and later seeing b-boy banksy choping up samples.
I ran out,got a burger bar job,got some decks and a basic sampler,and started grafting away,i started releasing records in 98 on various indie labels,and started my creative control records in 99.
I've played a whole lot of shows and clubs,its been real cool! shouts to everyone ive worked with,and much love to everyone who has brought and buys the vinyls and the party people worldwide.

e control looking glass ep "well oiled,moody soulfull production from benone,moving easily between drum and bass like beat patterns and down tempo,as dj para lays the dexterous cuts,cello and stepchild turn up to provide poetic agile vocals on looking glass and paths repectively" undercover magazine issue 17..........................................................

"having allready blurred musical boundaries and chrashed through sonic barriers with their 2002 debut lp creative control return to do more of the same,the title track boasts drum and bass like patterns,broodig guitars and a slightly unsettling vocal tone,which if given the right exposure could easily find itself crossing over and becoming a anthem for working class british youth much the same way as the streets has" blues and soul magazine
