Shitmat
The King of Mashcore returns for yet another journey through the sound of mashed up gabba rave hardcore, Shitmat style... As the name suggests, his new album „Grooverider“ is highly influenced by the uk rave scene and sees Shitmat move to a more serious, hard jungle sound with less random samples (although Tina Turner, Britney Spears, and The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe still manage to ma an appearance). Another classically rungleclotted, ass kicking selection to follow up the 9000+ selling Full English Breakfest, Grooverider is set to destroy dancefloors worldwide and is a must for the discerning breakcore connoisseur.
Elemental
North London based producer Elemental started dabbling with production in 1994 with a Roland D5 and Atari ST at school. He later invested in an Akai S2000 sampler and a PC, the rest as they say, is history. In the nineties he predominantly focused on DnB and experimental Electronic music. At 18 he put out his first DnB release off his own back, and was also one half of Breakbeat duo 'Elemental + 3D', releasing several tracks on their own label 'Runtime Recordings' in 2002. But it was when he found the darker, bass heavy garage sound that his attention was drawn towards the early incarnation of Dubstep, upon hearing the likes of Search & Destroy on Rinse FM, he found the sound he had been looking for, dark, heavy syncopated beats and bass. Since finding Dubstep, Elemental has been focused on bringing his unique sound to the masses, undeniably hard yet dubbed out, dirty bass and hypnotising rhythms. He has had many releases from Destructive, Hotflush, Pitch Black and Halo Beats, and more recently, his seminal track 'Soulfire' featured on Tayo's Fabric mix cd. Elemental also DJ's, and was officially the first person to do a Dubstep 'Live' gig, using Ableton Live on a laptop, mixing up tracks and components of his productions to rapturous audiences across the world, no set is ever the same twice.
'ZILLA' / King Cannibal
Zilla's work on his own brand of super-evolved mixes attracted attention from all corners leading to performances on the Solid steel radio show, the honour of being the first unsigned act to play at Strictly Kev & D.Ks Solid Steel clubnight, 4 sets with Buddy Peace at Dedbeat 04 in the course of one weekend and a number of European dates. Warp Records stepped in and invited Buddy Peace & ZILLA to compile a retrospective of the label, released late September 2004 as part of the 'WARP VISION The Videos' DVD.
The Warp Vision Audio Visual / Resfest Tour followed, as well as invitations to play at Glade Festival, Trash, The Warp Summer Ball and The Poke Xmas Rave. Invitations to remix started multiplying as ‘ZILLA’ perfected his twisted industrial take on dancehall, dubstep & drum n bass, and in late 2006 he was asked to produce an EP for kid606's Shockout label. Recieving massive support from Amon Tobin (Ninja Tune), Combat Recordings and Rag And Bone Records, the EP quickly became two, both of which are due for release in 2008 under 'ZILLA's brand new new alias KING CANNIBAL, alongside other releases including work for Combat Recordings.
