Downlink

Downlink has been punishing dancefloors all over the planet with his heavy brand of dubstep. With roots in Jungle & DnB, he is no stranger to the vile side of subsonic dance music. Growing up in a cold industrial town in British Columbia, Canada, he was first introduced to dubstep in 2007 and soon after took to production. While maintaining an appreciation for the sparse and laid-back vibes of the old school, Downlink set out to explore a more frantic, adrenaline fuelled style, influenced by everything from heavy metal to astrophysics.

Major Look

Major Look is Crystal Clear and Stapleton....... Crystal Clear & Stapleton's paths first crossed when they had the same Saturday job when they were 15. Both followed their own paths in dnb, Crystal Clear following the more upfront sound and Stapleton following the deeper/techier side. A few years later and they got booked for a gig together in Southampton a and swapped contacts. Crystal Clear wrote a stripped down tune that would sound good with a vocal on it & called Stapleton to see if he fancied laying down something on it.
