Artist of the month : Dub Phizix
Drum and Bass |

Dub Phizix (George, to his friends) is a man that should need no introduction, but just in case any of you spent last year under a rock, in a shed, on a marsh somewhere - I'll fill you in.
The Manchester-born producer exploded onto the scene last year with the instant classic, dancefloor filling, ear-smashing track "Marka" featuring Skeptical and vocals from Strategy. Trust me, you've heard it. The haunting vocals of Strategy combined with the hard-hitting and pristine track production from Dub made this tune of the biggest rave hits of 2012. If you were at Outlook last year and you had the pleasure of hearing this track whilst on a boat in Baltic, soaking up the sun, you experienced the same euphoria that I did.
You can't, however, dismiss this man as some kind of " one-hit wonder" merchant, he has been consistently putting together some amazing tracks over the last few years and doesn't look like stopping any time soon. The killer remix of Chimpo & Trigga - Gaza, is all hard beats and ragga-vibes with the vocals of the one and only Trigga. Check out I'm a Creator, featuring Skittles for more off-beat drums and rolling vocal styles, or Soul Remember for a more mellow ride.
The combination of dancefloor classics, individuality and sheer range of styles makes Dub Phizix our artist of the month.
