From rollers, liquid, and high-energy club fillers, you cover it all. What are some of your biggest influences in terms of DJing and production?
At the moment I'm getting a lot of influence from older styles of drum & bass; techstep, old Dope Dragon, and of course old jungle, stuff that's really raw with lots of energy.
Your debut EP on V Recordings caught the attention of Goldie and Bryan Gee - how important was that co-sign for your career?
Bryan's support has massively helped and opened a lot of doors for me - and still does! After he started playing and releasing my music I definitely started having more labels and DJs hitting me up for music. And was very surreal getting a text from Goldie to say he liked the EP haha.
Looking ahead, what releases or sets are you most looking forward to? Any collaborations or new styles you want to explore?
I've been working on some new music with Strategy which I'm looking forward to people hearing - also looking to push the techstep sound a bit more as I've had some good response to the bits I've put out.
If DJing and producing didn't work out, what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I've got a chemistry degree so I'd probably be trying to put that to use.
