My dad made music (Jungle producer Michael Anthony Marsh) and my mum used to sing so I suppose its was inevitable that I would start making music. It’s the only thing that really ever keeps my concentration.
2. How long have you been producing dub/dubstep for? Did you produce other music before?
I started making dubstep when i was about 15 so its been about 7/8 years. I was signed to Tempa when i was 16 and i was with them for about 6 years. Dubstep has always been the main music that I produce.

It’s a set I played recently in ibiza at a night called Reclaim The Dancefloor. Everything just seemed to go right in that set, the mixing the vibe, everything was just right.
