A Sides long-standing partnership with MC Fats has borne some of his biggest tracks to date, including the massive hit "What U Don’t Know" which featured on A Sides’ debut long-player in 2003. To catch the pair performing live is to hear drum & bass at it’s finest, with the deep soul sound of MC Fats bringing the perfect compliment to A Sides razor sharp beats.

A veteran of the scene from the early days, through hardcore to jungle to drum & bass, his influence has been immense. Over the years he’s taken on the role A&R for many labels, including of course his own imprints Fuze and Eastside, and was among the first to recognize and nurture the talent of producers such as Break. 

Always moving forward and shaping new styles, in 2008 he established BassHead Music together with Juan BassHead to showcase the finest in bass heavy beats.

Remixes have also been supplied by high profile artists such as Serum, Break and DJ Sneak. With a diverse music policy Basshead encompasses not just Dubstep and Drum & Bass but other bass-heavy beats. Expect more exciting projects over the next 12 months.
