Grievous Angel: Move Down Low / Loser OUT NOW!

About Me

I'm from the Essex / East End borders, live in Sheffield. I think it's the most beautiful and weirdest city in Britain. I do music. I'm basically a reggae head. I make dubstep. I used to make garage, before then I did jungle and before that techno-y type stuff. I do a fusion of ragga and techno that has rave energy and dancehall's 3:2 rhythms. There should be an album coming out in a few months on a little Japanese label - double CD, one studio tracks, one mixed. It's good. I co-edit WOOFAH, the new magazine about reggae, grime and dubstep. First issue had Pinch, Skepta, Iration Steppas, Lezley Lyrix, Heny G and more - it's pretty much sold out now. Print only - no downloads. Buy it or miss it - there's too much disposable, downloadable nonsense. Make an effort.I love the dubstep scene - I think it's up there with the best scenes to have come out of dance music. It's got real love vibes.I'm involved with Dust Science. It's a techno and electronica label. We've got some really good, well known artists - the Black Dog, Dan Curtin, Derailleur, Anthony "Shake" Shakir, people like that. A lot of Detroit gear.When I play out I usually do dancehall and ragga. I've done a few mixes, mainly reggae, bit of dubstep, and I'm doing a series of 94-era jungle mixes, there's literally HUNDREDS of absolutely amazing tunes from that year.I saw the Abyssinians last year and it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. I think Jah Shaka at his peak is the best DJ in the world bar none. DMZ is the best club in the world right now. I used to love BASH.I used to be into industrial stuff. I liked the way reggae end of that scene - Tackhead / ON-U etc - drifted into acid house and ardkore. To me, the sonics (and the transcendence) of industrial are all over dubstep. I still love house music and I think most dubstep heads will get into Theo Parrish eventually. I don't think King Tubby is over-rated, but I do love a bit of Jammy$.This profile was pimped out at PimpWebpage.com PimpWebpage.com
