PHADED [Subfix-Chicago/ Badman Press / SmartBar Resident / Dubstep.fm]
"Chicago’s favorite Dub-Slinger, Victor Holloway (aka Phaded) is a front-line veteran of the exploding North American Dubstep Scene. A Computer Science major at UMC, Phaded started out as a DJ at local clubs in his hometown of Columbia, Missouri. Always the audiophile, a journey through his music collection could take you down a path starting at Hip Hop, with stops to pay homage to Jazz & Blues Standards and carrying along to the sounds of Classic Rock and Dub Reggae. Phaded eventually made his way to Chicago in 2003 and was introduced to Dubstep three years later after he listened to the legendary 'Dubstep Wars' podcast hosted by Mary Anne Hobbs on BBC Radio 1. With furthering the Dubstep sound in mind, Phaded took part in the development of two highly influential entities: Dubstep.fm and Subfix. Launched in May 2007 out of Seattle, Dubstep.fm is the brainchild of DopeLabs, providing a high-quality internet radio stream to showcase the sound. Coinciding with the station’s launch was the first broadcast of Phaded’s 'The Dented Sessions.' The show has had guest appearances from artists such as DZ, King Cannibal, DopeLabs and Zeno, as well as Chicago mainstays Nameloc, DJ Solo, Chris Widman and Whoa-B. Now approaching its 3rd anniversary, Dubstep.fm has grown from its humble beginnings to an extended community of DJs and volunteers, with a listenership that spans the globe. Phaded’s other labor of love is the event that changed the way Chicago and the rest of the Midwest region embraced the sound: Subfix. Known until recently as Dubfix, these events, including many at Smart Bar, have provided a platform showcasing both pioneers of the genre and regional talent alike. Now in conjunction with Abstract Science, Subfix affiliated events continue to bring you the sounds of the most talented performers in the world.
Phaded’s live sets are peppered with exclusive tracks direct from both artists and labels alike, with a long list of affiliations to established heavyweights including Badman Press, Betamorph Recordings, Savory Audio, Shift Records, and Filthy Digital. With an aggressive mixing style, top-notch track selection and a knack for knowing how to work the crowd, the quest to hone his skills in the mix is never ending. It is this drive that defines him both as a performer and behind-the-scenes player. With support from a cult-like following worldwide, Phaded will be delivering the music you’ve been waiting all your life to hear at SmartBar and beyond for years to come. "
