Now residing in North London via Bristol and Cardiff, Rockwell has
become prolific in a very short amount of time due to a series of strong
productions, each taking a fresh and different approach to the drum and
bass blueprint. With releases scheduled for some of the scenes largest
labels: Digital Soundboy, Critical, and Shogun, 2010 will see Rockwell
become one of the leading new producers in the scene. With wide reaching
support from Djs such as Andy C, Shy Fx, Friction, Noisia and Hype, to
Alix Perez, Icicle, Spectrasoul, Breakage and even Radio 1’s Gilles
Peterson, Rockwell is one of an increasingly rare breed of producers
whose tunes are suited to both the big raves and small intimate dances.
Although being introduced to Drum and Bass quite late when attending
University in Bristol, Rockwell’s musical background enabled him to pick
up Djing quite quickly. Earning his Djing stripes playing week in week
out as a resident of renowned Cardiff night Aperture, now he sees
himself sharing lineups with many of his peers in London clubs such as
Fabric and receiving bookings as far away as St Petersburg.
Progressing into production after becoming hooked on Djing, the six
years of hard work are beginning to pay off, with collaborations with
Icicle, Zero T and Stapleton receiving regular rotation, and with high
profile remixes for Sabre, C4C and others outside of the drum and bass
scene on the cards for 2010, Rockwell’s’ future is looking bright.
