ZED BIAS [ Swamp 81, Tru Thoughts ]
As a trailblazer of underground dance music, he is always moving with – or ahead of – the times and his productions grace the playlists of Radio 1 DJs Gilles Peterson and Mary Anne Hobbs, as well as making themselves at home in the record boxes of DJ/producers like Toddla T, Blame, Skream, Plastician, Oneman, Benga, Kode 9 and Martyn (who included new track ‘Lost on Tenori Street’ on his recent ‘Fabric 50’ mix).

LOEFAH [ Swamp 81, DMZ ]
Seen by many as one of the founding fathers of dubstep and innovators of the scene, we can’t even begin to describe his back catalogue, including some of the seminal releases of the last 10 years. Recently and perhaps most famously Loefah has re-invented himself and founded one of the hottest labels in the UK, Swamp 81. As if that wasn’t enough Loefah also holds down a regular Rinse FM slot.

Girl Unit aims to produce bass-heavy club tracks that serve to project his love for RnB/rap music and regional US. Club music styles.
