Zed Bias Deadly Dub Constructor - Artist Series
Multiple Formats | £24.95 GBP
Zed Bias – "Deadly Dub Constructor" is a sample collection produced in conjunction with Loopmasters that explores the darker edge of Dubstep, Garage, Grime and Urban music production and includes a huge selection of sample kits for producing these types of modern urban music.
Dave Jones is Zed Bias – hailing from deep within the UK dance music scene and causing a stir since the mid-90's as a globetrotting DJ, pioneering producer, label chief, re-mixer & Jedi master of everything soulful. At times he has variously been known as Maddslinky, Phuturistix and a host of other production and writing aliases. This is not a ruse designed to confuse audiences (or global law enforcement agencies) it is merely a practical necessity to accommodate this mans incredibly prolific output.
As an Artist he gained widespread recognition in 2001 when he was nominated for "Best Garage Act" at the MOBO awards – by way of the single "Neighbourhood" (XL Recordings), which reached number 25 in the UK national charts. After several years hard graft this success opened the floodgates, bringing a publishing deal with EMI and work alongside the biggest artists of that time, including Miss Dynamite and Amy Winehouse . Having already set the blueprint for the darker UK Garage sound in the late 90's, he also started to infuse a more soulful, even jazzier elements to some tracks and lately has been pioneering the darker Dubstep and Garage flavours to bring you the producer here a new collection of dubs from the dark side.
