Four years ago he won a slot on London’s leading underground station, Rinse FM, Since then he’s DJed at many of dubsteps flagship nights, including Forward, DMZ and Subloaded. He’s toured the US and featured on Radio 1’s Mary Anne Hobbs scene-changing radio sounclash, ‘Dubstep Wars’. He’s collaborated in the studio with Dubstep wonderkids, Skream and Pinch and has his dubs played by a-list dubstep DJ’s such as Hatcha, N Type and more. Distance’s debut album ‘My Demons’ released to critical acclaim, followed a dark cinematic path taking a heavy metal and twisted industrial industrial industrial textures en route. Apart from the forthcoming release on Chestplate, he has remixed electronica’s Milanese and dubsteps’ Dubchild.
