About DJ Distance - Part of
the small nucleus of South
London based Dubstep
innovators, Distance has been
a name on everyone's lips
since day one, and is widely
recognized as having helped to
lay the foundations of what
dubstep is and develop what it
has become. Fostering a unique
sound, Distance as producer,
DJ and label owner has been
pushing things in a direction
all of his own. Gathering
early support from the
legendary John Peel and going
on to be part of the utterly
seminal Dubstep Warz show on
Radio 1 presented by Mary Anne
Hobbs, Distance has forged a
name for himself as a critical
figure in the scene. As a
stalwart of the all the
biggest dubstep raves (DMZ,
FWD and Exodus) and with
bookings notched up around the
world, he is very much at the
forefront of the scene and in
high demand. From deep to
devastating in one dubplate
switch up, Distance truly
knows how to tear up the
dance. No one does it like
him. If you're thinking about
booking Distance, make sure
your soundsystem hardware is
punching well above the weight
required for most club music.
His dubplate selection will
give even the most bass
battered set ups a full
performance check. Distance's
recorded output is also
formidable, finding homes on
labels as underground and
seminal as Hotflush,
Destructive and Boka in his
early career, to ending up on
the world reputed Planet Mu,
on which Distance released his
debut album in 2007. Also that
year he started his own
stable, Chestplate. A label
set up with the intention of
showcasing the freshest of his
own productions which have
been destroying dances and
flooring radio listeners ever
since. After just a handful of
releases it is already
established as one of the
increasingly few,
'buy-on-sight' dubstep labels.
The onslaught looks set to
continue with the recent
announcement of a second full
length album for the
unstoppable Planet Mu label.
Highlights of his production
repertoire include 'V'; a
track as heavy as 100 ten
tonne trucks that pounds and
stomps, crunches and growls.
It has torn up dancefloors
worldwide since it's dubplate
debut and is a perfect example
of a track that showcases
Distance's fraught and angry
production style. Conversely
another Distance classic,
'Feel Me', oozes something far
less overtly aggressive; all
motorik hypnotik groove and
ring modulated synth squeel.
Distance's studio has spawned
multiple stone cold killers
over a range of styles but all
uniquely Distance,
highlighting why his new
releases are some of the most
highly anticipated in the
scene. For Bookings and
