BRACKLES (Blunted Robots/Planet Mu/Rinse FM)
"Emerging from beneath a pile of Garage records and battered kicks to become one of the country’s most sought-after disc jockeys, Brackles now commands as much respect in the studio as he does in the dance. At University he won a nationwide DJ competition, bettering thousands of entrants (despite playing Garage at the height of its unacceptability); held down residencies at Detonate and Futureproof; and spent every other waking moment in the studio (to the detriment of his degree).
His breakthrough came in 2007, when a track entitled Broken Harp was picked up and battered to death by Appleblim and Geiom, both of whom went on to sign Brackles productions to their respective labels. DJs including Oneman, Alex Nut and Ramadanman cottoned on to his woozy, laser-driven productions, bringing him to the attention of Planet Mu, for whom he has now released two singles. His reputation as a deadly remix artist continues to grow; having completed work for Data Records, Polydor and No Hats No Hoods, most recently contributing a mix to the release of MSTRKRFT's Heartbreaker and Kid Cudi's Day and Night. But it is Brackles’ skills behind the 1210s that really drives his music; every beat is informed by an in-depth knowledge of the dancefloor, and high profile mixes for FACT magazine, XLR8R and radio DJs including Mary Anne Hobbs, Sinden and Toddla T have earned him worldwide recognition as one of the scene’s foremost tastemakers.
Early this year, he and Shortstuff formed the much-hyped Blunted Robots imprint – signing one of the year’s biggest hybrid tracks in Martin Kemp’s No Charisma – embodying the lairy, acid-drenched silliness of the pair’s music and cementing Brackles’ place at the forefront of UK Bass music in 2009."
BLAWAN (Hessle Audio/Warp)
South Yorkshire bred producer & DJ Blawan returns to Forefront with releases on Hessle Audio, Folkwood and the legendary Warp Records under his belt. His debut release on Hessle Audio was critically acclaimed with the A-side Fram featuring on the Dubstep Allstars 7 compilation. His tracks have featured heavily in the playlists of DJs such as Oneman, Ben UFO and as a DJ he recently represented the Hessle Audio team at Fabric as well as on their Rinse FM show.
