CULTURE SHOCK [RAM RECORDS, UK]
James' first release happened thanks to a hook up with Dom Angus (Dom & Roland) though their parents who are friends and colleagues. The result was the 2004 'Vega EP' on Moving Shadow. It was well received but unfortunately the seminal label stopped releasing music and it was another two years before James found another home with the legendary Ram Records.
Impressed by the production skills displayed on the Vega EP, Andy C followed the progress of the young producer and ended up signing him to his label, with the first track 'The Bypass' one of Optical's favourite tunes - appearing on 2006's Dimension EP and getting tongues wagging on the scene.
With signing Culture shock to its prestigious stable, Ram are nurturing yet another talent destined to expend the boundaries of the scene.
THE QEMISTS [NINJA TUNE, UK]
The Qemists are, in many ways, something of a Qonundrum. Theyre rock fans seduced by the dancefloor, dance fans equally happy playing live instruments or building tracks on the computer, Drum & Bass aficionados who believe their hurtling breakbeats sound best under muscular metallic riffs.
Their debut album, 2009s Join The Q, balanced Junglist-Metal monsters like Stompbox and S.W.A.G., with wall-shaking Dancehall boomers like Dem Na Like Me, with a diverse guest-list including ex-Faith No More frontman Mike Patton, Grime legend Wiley and Drum & Bass chanteuse Jenna G.
