As part of our artist features section, once a month we will be tracking down one of our regular clients to find out what they are up to and to get a little insight into the whole dubplate thing. This month we hunted down Forensics.
How long have you been producing for?
Started producing as Forensics early 2005, I think. Could have been late 2004! Had dabbled a little bit before then anyway, plus been in a few bands.... but that was really the start of me producing.

In October we hooked up with DJ Joker.
When you produce a beat do you have any idea what its going to sound like?
Purple. I like to make purple music if that makes any sense.

What do you think of the Bristol scene at the moment?
Really exciting..! So much new stuff coming out everyday.. I can hardly keep up. Joker is killing it at the moment.. Pinch, Pev, Gemmi, also great stuff from guys like Phaeleh, Time, and much more, I could go on and on..

In August we caught up with one of the hottest new names in Drum and Bass, Cyantific.

What inspires you to produce, are you inspired by other drum and bass producers, other genres, or something else?
All sorts, Funk, Soul, Electro, Techno, generally not other Drum and Bass if it can be avoided. Its not easy when youre a DJ, because you have to listen to DnB as part of your job. In the car I don't listen to DnB, or much in my free time. |

We kicked off the artist feature section in July with one of our longest-running dubplate clients, Bristol Dubstep pioneer, DJ Pinch.
Do you remember the first dub you ever cut? What was it and when?
Yes, I cut my first ever dubplate with you! It was a 12" plastic plate of a drum and bass mash up I put together. I guess that was about 5 years ago now?
