DJ FRICTION (Valve/BBC 1xtra UK) Tue. Nov. 22
Automatic and C1rca present
DJ FRICTION  BBC 1XTRA/SHOGUN AUDIO/TRUE PLAYAZ/CHARGE/C.I.A./VALVE/31/TROUBLE ON VINYL/RENEGADE HARDWARE/CHARGE DJ Magazine #4 drum and bass DJ worldwide! At the age of 27, Brighton raised Friction is without a doubt one of the most talented DJ-Producers to make a significant impact in drum & bass in recent years. From the age of 15 Friction has been dedicated to developing his skills and ability to achieve what he has today. With a rapidly increasing worldwide following for his BBC 1xtra mix show, massive tunes on labels like Valve, True Playaz and Renegade Hardware, more to come in the works, and his own label running smoothly Friction has already taken his place as one of the top players in the game. As a teenager whose first love was music, Friction used his friend's decks to mix and was soon passing mix tapes around at school. Over the following 3 years Friction DJ'd out at events and promoted his own club nights. With his preference of music style and scene association it was inevitable he would link up with established Brighton drum & bass producers such as Stakka, Skynet, Nu Balance & K-Tee. At the age of 18, Friction became friends with these Brighton based music heads and was soon inspired to produce the beats and bass he loved. Many hours were spent in the studio where Friction was able to develop the natural talent he appeared to have. February 1999 welcomed his debut release. Using the collaborative name 'Kinnetix', Stakka & Friction released 'Critical Mass' on the Under Fire label. He was then invited to produce a track for Trouble on Vinyl's 'Here Comes Trouble' EP. The result saw Friction's 'Photon' gain him the position of a talented producer. Regular bookings on the UK and European club circuit started to appear and people were starting to talk about this new exciting DJ from Brighton. As the releases started to flow and the word spread about his ability to move a dancefloor gained from his DJ roots, regular flights out of London took him to play at events in Holland, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Australia, Japan, USA, Singapore & France to name a few. Then came the first real acknowledgment of his talent, with Friction winning the title of 'Best World Newcomer' at the 2002 'Drum and Bass Arena' awards. People really were starting to take notice of the extreme talent he was offering. With more heads hearing of his skills and tracks like the massive 'Robocop' and 'Electrolux' smashing dance-floors worldwide 2003 saw Friction win Knowledge magazine's 'Best Breakthrough Artist' award. Things were rounded off with a link up to Dillinja and Lemon D's Valve Recordings and the launch of his own label 'Shogun Audio'. He is now regarded as one of the scene's front running DJ's alongside names like Andy C, Zinc, Hype and Mampi Swift and also regularly demonstrates his skills to a global audience via BBC 1Xtra on his fortnightly 'Mix Show'. When such a luminary as Zinc tags you up to mix the first 'Bingo Beats' CD you know you have arrived. When the CD charts in the UK you know you've truely hit the big time. In the 2004 DJ Magazine world DJ poll he was the 4th highest ranked drum & bass DJ in the world. This was followed up with another 4th place position in the 'Accelerated Culture' awards as well as taking home the 'Best Newcomer' title at the same event. The UK's hottest, freshest drum & bass DJ talent is undoubtedly Friction and its time to take things to the next level.
