Cotti Bio..

Richard Bowes, aka Cotti is a producer, DJ, and MC hailing from Brixton, South London. As well as the co-founder (along with partner Cluekid) of ‘-30 Records’, he also manages his own imprint, ‘Bassface Recordings’.

Cotti has been immersed in the London Scene from a young age, initially writing lyrics & Dj-ing, then eventually moving through and focusing on vocalist & music production.

Throughout 2007 Cotti became one of the movements most sought after DJ/producers, with his tracks ‘Sensi Dub’ & ‘I Don’t Give a Dub’ recorded as the biggest selling dubstep releases of 2007, not too mention ‘The Legacy’, and ‘Mozart 3000′ becoming bass rider anthems in their own right. The first half of 2008 has seen his productions gain support from all the big name DJ’s on the circuit. Thanks to the encouragement of Mary Anne Hobbs, BBC Radio 1, Cotti’s productions ‘Let Go Mi Shirt’ & ‘The Search’ both Breezeblock Bombs, eventually had full releases on Soul Jazz Recordings. 2008 has also seen the release of the long awaited collaboration with Doctor, namely ‘Calm Down’, a track that has pushed the creative boundaries of the sound, with its original vocal production & the technique of blending dubstep, grime, dub, and dancehall into a single riddim.

At present Cotti is Dj-ing at pioneering London club FWD and the almighty DMZ parties on regular rotation. His sets have been witnessed all over Europe & the United States and without doubt are straight up to date with a quality selection of dubs from the finest producers. Cotti’s proposed collaborations across musical genres, along with the signing of big name vocalists are set to move Bassface & -30 Recordings to a fertile musical ground that’s a reflection of Cotti as an artist, A&R ear, and all round bass addict.

Garage Pressure DJ’s Farj and Paul Fraser set up Aquatic Lab with the vision of running a truly global Dubstep record label from Australia. Lab001 was released in January 2008 and featured Caspa & Rusko’s ‘Bread Get Bun’ and ‘King George’ two tunes that were massive on dubplate and have gone on to sell over 2000 copies world wide - unheard of for a new label outside of London. Bread Get Bun featured on the Rinse 02 Mix CD mixed by Skream and King George has been essential play for many top dubstep DJs. Incoming releases on Aquatic Lab include the godfather of dark break beat garage Zed Bias and rising stars DJ Pinch and Cotti.

Garage Pressure’s most recent club night - Aquarium - have hosted such heavyweights as Mala (DMZ), Skream, Benga, Kode9, Vex’d, Pinch, Caspa and Distance. In 2002, their club night DarkSyde (Dark Sydney) was the first breakstep & dubstep night in Australia and featured Oris Jay, Lombardo and Zed Bias.

Garage Pressure was the incubator for Australian producer Moving Ninja - a recognised pushing the boundaries of dubstep with releases on seminal UK label Tectonic.

Garage Pressure Radio airs on Sydney’s Fbi94.5FM every Friday night 9-11pm; broadcasting to a conservatively estimated Sydney audience of 60,000 plus many more online. The Garagepressure.com website has been running for over 7 years and features podcasts of their latest radio shows available for download.

Loaded with the freshest dubplates from artists such as Mala, Benga, Kode9, Loefah, Coki, Skream, Cotti, Caspa, Rusko, Zed Bias, Plactician, The Others, Kromestar, Search & Destroy, Pinch, 2562, Peverlist, Matty G, N-Type and many more – Garage Pressure’s live DJ sets are world class and not to be missed!

Hey a cupley nights on this Friday that are defo worth checking.. Fucking Yardcore in its second mutation and now at the Rising Sun will feature some Dancehall goodness early in the night from Jah Praise then a feature Jungle and Tech Step mashup from Niche and Manaia Toa before easing ya through with some fresh Dubstep from Phil O (among other selectors). The regular drumandbass.co.nz monthly night at Coherant on K’Rd was meant to feature a set a liquid goodness from the one like DJ Kritical this month but due the sad circumstance of him taking his own life just two weeks ago it will now feature a studio mix of his in reverence before the headline set from Christchurch’s Urban Notion crew. I’m sure there will be a big massive in attendance to see the one like Kritical out in style. Looking ahead there is the Kiwiburn festival (inspired by the legendary Burning Man held in Nevada, USA) upcoming February 1st-4th at Whakamaru Domain, Mangakino and the Splore bi-annual festival upcoming February 8-10th at Tapapakanga Regional Park, Orere.
