Chris Reed of Croydon (yup, Croydon again) is a respected DJ and producer in both grime and dubstep, and founder of Terrorhythm Records.
Originally going under the name Plasticman, the Thornton Heath local had a minor run-in with minimal techno man Richie Hawtin, who performs under the name Plastikman.
To avoid any legal issues, the 'M' was swapped for an 'I' and Plastician was born.
His annual May Mix is widely anticipated. This year's mix topped well over 10,000 downloads at the last count. Plastician’s spot-on tune selection provides an hour-long sonic assualt which captures the current sound of dubstep.
P is also for:
Peverelist: Back to Brizzle for this one. A producer and DJ, Tom Ford also manages the infamous Rooted Records (which takes various Radar writers for a lot of cash each and every week) and runs Punch Drunk Records.
