Nick Douwma a.k.a. Sub Focus came to the drum and bass scene in 2004, and has already broken through with a number of popular tracks such as Acid Test and X-Ray. Entirely self taught, he was noticed at first by Andy C, and in a matter of months, he went from being one of many wannabe producers to becoming a permanent fixture of the award winning Ram Records family. Recent releases include tunes such as Airplane, Flamenco, Juno and Swamp Thing.

One of the bright new starts of the UK dubstep scene, Nero have already started 2011 with a bang, with recent single Me and You added to Radio 1's A-List and hitting the UK top fifteen.

Signed to Chase and Status' record label, the band first appeared in 2008, gradually building up a following which culminated in them winning Beatport awards for Best Dubstep Act and Best Dubstep Track and nominated for BBC's Sound of 2011, XFM's Sound of 2011 and Music Week's Top 15.

Debut album Welcome Reality will be released later this year, a record which looks set to propel them into the mainstream.

No one DJ or indeed producer can claim sole credit for dubstep. But when the history of the genre gets told, it’s no overstatement to say the entire genre bares his stamp. Hatcha holds down his flagship Kiss 100 show alongside long time MC, Crazy D, not to mention DJ’ing across the planet and co-producing with a variety of the scene’s heavyweights. No DJ can test this man.
