TODDLA T
A lanky streak of gabbling enthusiasm, through 2008, Toddla's Fill Up Mi Portion, Soundtape Killin' and Manabadman singles, not to mention his brilliant Ghettoblaster No.1 mixtape download, announced him as British dance music's brightest new talent. His influences - that "clangy Sheffield electronic sound" first minted by Cabaret Voltaire; local speed garage variant, bassline; early Warp Records' bleep techno - may be peculiarly South Yorkshire, but Britain hasn't heard party music this raw and vibrant since early Basement Jaxx. "I was conscious people might find it a bit 'aggro'," says Toddla. "But when I DJ, there's so many girls into it. It's mad. I thought I made boy music, but no, luckily."
Consequently, Toddla, who recently inked a long-term deal with 1965 Records, is a man in demand. His DJing schedule, which includes a monthly residency at Fabric, is packed; he’s involved in numerous side-projects, such as Hervé and Sinden's Machines Don't Care collective; and, often working with his friend and studio mentor, Ross Orton (the man who reinforced MIA’s early work with Sheffield steel), TT been busy remixing the likes of Esser, Little Boots, Ladyhawke, Hot Chip and Tricky. Not to mention producing fair chunk of Roots Manuva’s latest album. Absolute badderman.

ONEMAN
Oneman is the DJ's DJ. His blend of garage, dubstep, 2-step & a cheeky little bit of funkyness have already seen him getting slots on BBC Radio 1 with Mary Anne-Hobbs, earning him the additional moniker of “2-step revival machine”. After landmark sets at FWD, the Dirty Canvas resident and general EC1 star, has gone on to share bills with Dizzee Rascal, Chase & Status, Tayo and Scratch Perverts to name a few.
