DISTANCE (PLANET MU-UK)
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.
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.

XI (LO DUBS, FORMANT, LOETECH - TORONTO)
Christian Andersen grew up immersed in the sonic melting pot that is Toronto, Ontario, a city rich in the compost of Jungle, Dub Reggae, Hip hop & Techno. He has been cultivating the music scene in Totonto since high-school days and his love of bass driven music and rugged drum patterns lead him to dubstep.
His sound is a combination of many styles touching on techno, downtempo hip-hop, ambient, jungle, and garage house, and he mixes them together into a melodic whirlwind of drum machine driven fury. His take on dubstep is ranges from highly musical to deep and gnarly, always with a particular bounce and slinkiness.
XI (pronounced Eks-eye!) collaborates with Bombaman to form the super bass music transfomer known as Loetech. Voltron styyyyyyle! The dynomite duo host a weekly Streamizm radio session on http://www.streamizm.com/.
Chistian is also elemental in Subtrac, Totonto's premier dubstep night.
