Only recently discovered the guy, listening to my demons has totally changed my appreciation of dubstep.

Just heard that on his show
.
Also Victim Support is sick, hadn't heard that before. I thought it was a remix of V at first, the drums are virtually the same. But it's nastier
.

Distance is 1 of the finest producers an DJ's about, cant think of a distance release we havent bought.
Very versatile style on decks and on the buttons.

Your missing a lot from that list!
Concrete (Ultra Brand new)
Victim Support (Brand Newish)
Violate (Large up Cyrus aswell!) (Brand Newish)
NIGHTVISION
Skream - Make Me (Distance Remix)
Pinch - One Blood (Distance Remix) (Ultra Brand New)
Present Day
A lot of old bits aswell like Nomad (his first hot flush release I think)
and last of all...Battle Sequence..how could you forget!?

this for me remains one of hot flush's best 12"s to date. one of the tunes that got me into the 'step.

I love Weigh Down!
Piston, btw this is Issa
.
Distance was one of the OGs that brought the dubstep flavor to my ears. His metal influences which are obvious, really infuse his production. What is especially cool is that if you think of that mixture of metal and dub, I would cast it off as something most likely sounding cheesy, but he makes it sound so fierce (Victim Support is absolutely disgusting. I will have to see if I can find an audio for Concrete)... fire in the belly you know? Big ups Distance!
Btw- Nomad, using the Sepultura samples from Attitude was brill.
