Der aus Manchester stammende Dub Phizix macht Musik seit über 20 Jahren. In seiner Jugend klimperte er auf der Gitarre und wühlte sich durch die 7"-Plattenkiste seines Vaters. Doch mit dem Mixen und Producen von Drum & Bass hatte er das gefunden, was ihn bis heute zu einem festen Teil der Szene macht. Seine Releases auf Labels wie dBridge's Exit Records, Soul:r, Ingredients, Critical und Dispatch sprechen für sich. Mit dem düsteren, drumlastigen Sound von Tracks wie "Out There" kreierte er eine neue Sparte im gealterten D&B-Genre. Seine Zusammenarbeit mit zahlreichen MC´s wie DRS, Strategy & Fox zeichnen ihn ebenso aus. Und es steht wohl außer Frage, dass sein Track "Marka" in Kooperation mit Skeptical & MC Strategy für volle Dancefloors rund um den Globus gesorgt hat. Neben allen darken Produktionen verliert Dub Phizix in seinen Sets trotzdem nicht den Blick für die frohen Seiten des Drum & Bass. Und wem all das nicht genügt, hier noch etwas ganz persönlich von ihm selbst:
