EMALKAY, UK
| Boka Records / Dub Police

Big, bad, heavy: three simple words to describe the sound of one of dubstep’s most complex artists, Emalkay. Certainly no stranger when it comes to playing left field, Emalkay takes his own innovative style to a whole other level!

With support from the likes of Amon Tobin, The Scratch Perverts, Freq-nasty and Mary Anne Hobbs, as well as prominent dubsteppers Benga and N-type, Emalkay has proven himself to be one of the most influential pioneers of the heavier dubstep sound.

With initial support in the form of grime veteran Plastician, “Birmingham’s finest” Emalkay - pronounced em-al-kay - gained the attention of South London based label Boka Records with the warped, future bass drones and epic strings of Gut Feeling. Continuing the success, Testing The Waters EP was released in October 2006 followed by Monsters in June 2007.

The revolutionary sound of Mecha, released in the fall of 2007, gained Emalkay support from the likes of Radio 1 DJ Mary Anne Hobbs and breakbeat pioneer FreQ Nasty, as well as many of the leading figures of the current dubstep scene. It seemed Emalkay’s own potential as a pivotal dubstep artist was finally being realised. His final release on Boka Records was the reggae influenced My Story in April 2008.

In the fall of 2008, Emalkay produced Explicit - a tune that gradually captured the interest of such prominent dubsteppers as Benga and received major support from acts such as The Scratch Perverts and drum and bass duo Chase and Status. After being approached by Caspa however, the track was finally released on the Dub Police label in February 2009 after much anticipation.


JEEKOOS, CHI
| PTS / Dubfront / Filthy Digital / WNUR

With his roots in hip-hop and jungle/dnb, When dubstep caught up with him, with its slower pace but equivalent intensity, gnarly basslines and attention to detail, the incorporation of it into his sets and production style was only natural. As his sound evolves and his skills flourish, Jeekoos stays deeply involved in the Chicago dubstep scene. Respect to tha Wubmaster!
