hot event : DJ Distance Tour

Created on 30/06/2010 by Broken Beats Crew

Part of the small nucleus of South London based Dubstep innovators, Distance has been a
name on everyone's lips since day one, and is widely recognized as having helped to lay
the foundations of what dubstep is and develop what it has become.

Fostering a unique sound, Distance as producer, DJ and label owner has been pushing
things in a direction all of his own. Gathering early support from the legendary John Peel
and going on to be part of the utterly seminal Dubstep Warz show on Radio 1 presented
by Mary Anne Hobbs, Distance has forged a name for himself as a critical figure in the
scene. As a stalwart of the all the biggest dubstep raves (DMZ, FWD and Exodus) and
with bookings notched up around the world, he is very much at the forefront of the scene
and in high demand. From deep to devastating in one dubplate switch up, Distance truly
knows how to tear up the dance. No one does it like him.

His dubplate selection will give even the most bass battered set ups a full performance
check. Distance's recorded output is also formidable, finding homes on labels as
underground and seminal as Hotflush, Destructive and Boka in his early career, to ending
up on the world reputed Planet Mu, on which Distance released his debut album in 2007,
the onslaught continued in 2008 with Repercussions his second full length album for the
unstoppable Planet.

2007 also saw him start his own stable, Chestplate. A label set up with the intention
of showcasing the freshest of his own productions which have been destroying dances
and flooring radio listeners ever since. After nine releases it is established as one of the
increasingly few, 'buy-on-sight'
dubstep labels..

Highlights of his production repertoire include 'V'; a track as heavy as 100 ten tonne
trucks that pounds and stomps, crunches and growls. It has torn up dancefloors
worldwide since it's dubplate debut and is a perfect example of a track that showcases
Distance's fraught and angry production style.

Distance's studio has spawned multiple stone cold killers over a range of styles but
all uniquely Distance, highlighting why his new releases are some of the most highly
anticipated in the scene.
