Multi award-winning Friction is one of the most revered and respected electronic music artists in the world today. Today he co-owns the globally renowned Shogun Audio label, Elevate Records, Maraki Records (his latest venture with My Nu Leng) and hosted BBC Radio 1’s weekly drum & bass show for 6 years. All the while managing one of the most gruelling DJ schedules in the game week in week out, playing anywhere from Glastonbury to L.A, to Sydney, Tokyo and back to London. Friction’s own productions have gone from strength to strength releasing on imprints such as Metalheadz and Hospital in the early years before founding his own Shogun Audio label in 2004. With 15 years under its belt, it is now a powerhouse in the world of bass music, responsible for nurturing and kick-starting the careers of many of the scene’s biggest producers today. Whilst his remix CV continues to evolve, including the likes of Sam Smith, Childish Gambino, Fatboy Slim & The Prodigy to name but a few, it is his recent string of heavy hitters such as ‘Good To Me’, ‘Your Love’, ‘Mad In The Jungle’ and ‘By Your Side’ that have really captured the imagination, taking things to a whole new level. His long awaited, award winning debut album, ‘Connections’ was met with universal acclaim and with a second album currently in the works, things aren’t looking like slowing down!
