Coventry based producer, District (aka Daniel Mills) is a relative newcomer to the dubstep scene.
Focusing primarily on the deeper and darker tones that surrounded him through playing in metal bands as a teenager, his productions have earnt early support from the likes of Distance
and Youngsta. Districts own take on bass music harks back to the genres earlier days, employing a stripped back and doom-laden attitude to beats and bass. 2011 see's District join the Chestplate Records family, a label led by one of the scenes originators DJ Distance. As well as working on
individual musical projects, District's collaborative work with label peer and long-time friend
Sleeper blends their shared vision on darker sounds, creating atmospheric and sub frequency-heavy rollers.
District's first release comes in the form of CHST013, a 12" single on Chestplate comprising of the tracks '3.5 grams' and 'Haymaker', showcasing the producers developing skills and intent. Both tracks have seen heavy rotation via radio support on Radio 1xtra, Rinse.FM and Get Darker as well as maintaining regular plays in the sets of Distance, Tunnidge and Jack Sparrow over the last 12 months. Looking to the future, District plans to work more with Sleeper, developing their production style as well as making live appearances on Rinse.FM, guest mixing for Kongkrete Bass’s seminal Kongkast podcast series and in clubs.
