Multi award-winning Friction is one of the most revered and respected electronic music artists in the world today. Cutting his teeth in the drum & bass UK underground of the early 2000โs, Frictionโs build from one of the most passionate, most technically skilled DJโs into an all-round anthem producing artist has been relentless.
Today he co-owns the globally renowned labels Sh**un Audio & Elevate Records, and previously hosted the BBC Radio 1โs weekly drum & bass show for 6 years before moving on to concentrate on studio and touring. Deemed by Pete Tong as โone of the big dogsโ, he entered the coveted D&B Hall of Fame at the 2011 D&B Arena Awards.
Frictionโs own productions have gone from strength to strength releasing on imprints such as Metalheadz and Hospital in the early years before founding his own Sh**un Audio label in 2004. With 15 years under its belt, it is now a powerhouse in the world of bass music, responsible for nurturing and kick-starting the careers of many of the sceneโs biggest producers today.
Whilst his remix CV continues to evolve including the likes of Childish Gambino, The Prodigy, Sam Smith and Fatboy Slim to name but a few, it is his recent string of heavy hitters and his long-awaited debut album โConnectionsโ that have really captured the imagination in recent years.
Now off the back of a slew of releases including his โDisconnected EPโ plus singles including โBy Your Sideโ, โYour Loveโ and the Radio 1 playlisted โGood To Meโ comes his sophomore album โAfter Darkโ. The record features the likes of Kanine, Poppy Baskcomb, A Little Sound, Shells and K Motionz and is set to be released Sept 23rd.
