Youngsta is one of the figureheads of dubstep; a long-running resident at scene-defining club night FWD>> and the DJ who first played some of the genre’s most-loved anthems,

he continues to be a hugely active figure in dubstep’s development. His weekly show on Rinse FM draws deep for new music, helping to expose and break talented new producers, and the founding ethics that defined dubstep in its early years still remain at the heart of his DJ set.

heavy and beautifully intricate, claustrophobic yet with a keen ear for space and silence. “The sound is just me,” he says, explaining that he’s hesitant to pigeonhole the music he plays.
