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.

“The sound is rooted in dark experiments with the 2-Step Garage template devised by pioneers El-B and Zed Bias..”

Zed Bias gained him a serious underground following around the time of UK Garage’s first emergence with his remixes of DJ Zinc’s ‘138 Trek’ and ‘Super Sharp Shooter’, his widely appreciated ‘Sound of the Pirates’ mix CD was an education for many outside the London underground. The single ‘Neighborhood’ featuring MC Rumpus addressed the day to day reality of living in an urban community and tipped into the overground going on to become a top 30 chart hit the UK.

After these successes Zed went on to pioneer the sound that came to known as Breakstep. His huge remix of DJ Zinc’s ‘Heavyweight’ was the first release on his label Sidestepper and ‘Jigga Up’ (Ring The Alarm) featuring MC Juiceman also released on Sidestepper also achieved anthem status, this cemented his reputation as an originator in a sea of imitators. Zed went on to maintain his profile at the forefront of the UK underground holding a residency alongside fellow pioneers Hatcha, Youngsta, Kode9 and Oris Jay at Ammunition’s seminal club Forward>> a name synonymous with Dubstep, it was then in its carnation as ‘The Sunday Sessions’ at London’s Velvet Rooms before the term Dubstep had even been coined.

Forthcoming from Zed Bias there are Dubstep-focused releases on original Dubstep label Big Apple, the Australian based Aquatic Lab as well as Zed’s own Sidestepper Recordings. Zed’s unreleased Dubstep productions are currently getting big support from scene heavyweights N-Type, Benga, Skream, Hatcha and Kode9.

Zed Bias on his upcoming tour>> “Gonna be a very exciting year for me and the peak of the excitement will be around the time I’m on tour… with the Aquatic Lab release, and the Big Apple EP also dropping..”
