Wobble proudly presents the mighty N-TYPE!
London - UK
Terrain / Tempa / Dub Police / Rinse.FM / FWD>>
Get ready, Melbourne. You haven't heard it like this before. Heartical HiFi will be in full effect.
We're not messing about: 10k+ of pure sub bass pressure from Melbourne's only custom built soundsystem.
N-Type smashes every rave he plays at, and he's played them all.
This man has gigs lined up untill October this year already, taking him all over the globe.
N-Type is regarded as the Andy C of dubstep with his lightning-fast, tight-as-fuck mixing.
This led to him being selected to do the Dubstep Allstars Volume 5 mix CD, on the pioneering Tempa imprint, home to names like Hatcha, Skream & Benga.
The mix CD contained a whopping 42 tunes packed into a mere 73 minutes!
His mixing is so heavy that full mixes have been rewound and redone at the seminal dubstep clubnight FWD.
His radio show on the infamous Rinse FM (home to Skream, Dizzee Rascal, and many more) is one of the most listened to weekly shows in dubstep.
Not only for his amazing mixing but absolutely hilarious antics in the studio. Except to hear the chatterbox on the mic on the night, a born performer.
He was recently brought into the BBC Radio One studios by Mary Anne Hobbs, smashing the decks with a mix coming from jungle through the darker side of garage into dubstep; check the video interview & live mixing.
You won't find him using CDJs or Serato either, expect the dancefloor destroyer to drop the freshest 10" dubplates!
People once said that dubstep was too slow, dark and sparse to translate to worldwide dancefloors. Of course that was before the acetate addicted and overall sub-sonic miscreant N-Type showed up to prove the doubters so, so wrong.
Combining searing white-hot selection with a 30 dubs-per-hour freestyle mix rate, N-Type’s DJing style takes many cues from legendary garage don EZ, yet it is N-Type’s hyperactivity in the mix which really marks him out from the rest. Where other DJs maintain their traditional surly personae, N-type can be found raving it up in the booth, bobbing with the crowd, and sporting a shower-face of almost comic proportions.
Hailing from deepest Surrey, N-Type has been dubstepping since year dot. Orignally a junglist, then an avid fan of the dark garage sound, he was a regular at FWD>> since its Velvet Rooms days, a long time patron of the now defunct Big Apple record store and a grafter on pirate radio for over 8 years (first Delight FM, then in 2004, Rinse).
Listening to his show on Rinse (every Sunday 11pm-1am GMT) you can’t help but smile too. N Type’s chatterbox delivery is almost as relentless as his selection and he’s just as likely to tell you what he had for dinner as he is to tell you the name of the current dub he’s playing, but it all adds to the charm. Ultimately, it is this unmatched level of infectious enthusiasm that has earned N-type the twin titles of ‘Best DJ’ and ‘Best Radio Show’ on the dubstepforum awards, a coveted FWD>> residency and following that his mixing of the latest instalment in the Dubstep Allstars series.
As dubstep expands way beyond the limits of its core following, the task of transmitting the subsonic virus falls to DJs such as N-Type and with a touring schedule that shows no signs of slowing down- a full on epidemic is just around the corner.
Vocal support on the night will be provided by the extraordinary Dub FX. If you haven't heard of this guy, you best get to know.
Dub FX is a traveling street performer, taking him all over the globe, wowing people everywhere.
A beat boxer with a difference, multitrack recorder, triggering FX via foot pedals. He can build a song in minutes.
Drums, bass, and backing vocals, as well as his amazing voice on top live on the spot! This man has to be seen to be believed! Check him in action.
Also Scotty Hinds from UK Hip Hop crew Nine High will be blessing mic.
His content and flow is world class and perfect over the 140bpm tempo.
Anybody who caught the boys over grime & dubstep at The Laundry last year know this man is on point and the best man for the job.
Check the boys in action on RRR Radio.

AC23, Uptight, Kammo, Leejay & Same'O.
