Forsaken, Dubstep & Grime Producer from Bristol. I try and mash up the dubstep, grime and breakstep styles in my productions and always bring the party vibes when dj'ing. I have releases on Immerse www.immerserecords.com / Forecast Recording forecast-recordings.com/frame.html / Punch Drunk www.forecast-recordings.com/frame.html and play as a resident for the Bristol night Byte - www.byte.moonfruit.com .

I am very lucky to have proper music heads into the stuff I am making here's a list of quotes I stroke my ego with:

Gilles Peterson played Sagrada feat. Ben Blackmore on his Radio 1 show saying,
"Right now, always good to discover new adventurous 2007 music... very interesting music."
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/gillespeterson
Blat!!

Mary Anne Hobbs played Boat Noodles on her show saying,
"So evocative, it captures the feeling of Shanghai at night"
and some other very nice things, thank you Miss Hobbs!

Martin Blackdown, dubstep/grime journalist and producer extroadinaire, said in his Pitchfork article,
"Speaking of Bristol, one of the most head-turning productions in dubstep has come out of the city, from Forsaken. The track in question, "Last Saloon Swagger" stands out not because it's melodic and not over-dark, nor because it features a guitarist Ben Blackmore and co-production by local grime genius Joker. It stands out because it features a spaghetti western piano roll solo and a breakdown that a chicken wanders through. Laughing in the face of soulless gnarly tech-tunes and wobble-clones, it's a maverick move that the fact that as it divides listeners only goes to prove it's pushing boundaries. It's light, El-B-esque woodblock snares tickle the ear, EQed without the need to slap the dancefloor in the face, funky like some strange Timbaland/Clint Eastwood hybrid. If the influx of new fans into dubstep circa 2006 has pushed back the boundaries of the scene, bringing it into contact with new influences far from its roots, risks like "Last Saloon Swagger" will be taken. If Distance can encompass heavy metal and Vex'd can vibe off avant classical, then bring on the spaghetti western."


Fucking large!!!
