  • Bio

    Vortex is easily one of the best-loved drum & bass jocks and also a pioneer in Singapore’s growing drum n bass scene. Behind the decks, Vortex’s signature blend of hard hitting beats with liquid smooth bass lines always gets the crowd grooving. Already rinsing out the dance floor with rolling sounds, Vortex can also be caught exploring dubstep, broken beats, deep house, bossa nova, funk and hip-hop. A night out with Vortex is a musical journey to look forward to..... Vortex has shared deck duties with international DJs like Goldie, Pendulum, LTJ Bukem, London Elektricity, DJ Marky, Concord Dawn, Makoto, Jenna G, Nutone, Utah Jazz and more. Vortex has also spread his sound to other cities like London, Amsterdam, Osaka, Bangkok, Jakarta, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur..... When not dropping red hot choons at the console, Vortex is packing heat with Exitmusik dot com, arguably Asia’s most respected underground music portal. The Face of Drum n Bass is also the man responsible for +65, the nation state’s own music and arts event by the people for the people..... Now based in London, Vortex is on a mission to bring his gospel of bass to a wider audience and a bigger stage. Having made a resident DJ at the infamous THEM parties at the Rhythm Factory showcasing a seamlessly hybrid mix of dubstep, grime and breaks each and every time. On the D&B front, Vortex has also gone on to be featured on the legendary D&B Arena's D&BTV Live program alongside every single big name you can think of in the scene! And with the newly formed label, Qilin Music, with Kiat in 2009. They are now set to bring about more cutting edge talent to listeners all around the world. ....

    IMAGINE THE FEELING OF KNOWING YOU "MADE IT" IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY How would that change your life? Or the life of those around you? I'LL LET YOU KNOW A SECRET; one of the main reasons main stream artist's are so successful is they have a great marketing team on their side. That's why you sometimes see "unknown" artist's with way more talent remain an unknown. They don't have a good marketing team working for them.

  • STEP005 - Motta, Champa…

    Stepping Forward's second 4-track EP comes to the label from the UK's own ACTRAISER. Formerly a Drum n Bass genera manager @ Chemical Records and known currently in Dubstep for his immensely deep tracks - we're proud to bring the man back into the Drum n Bass world with his STUNNING "Platinum Rush EP"!

    The EPs title cut Platinum Rush is perfection. It’s steppy but moving, lush but defined and sparkling with details, amazingly bass heavy but filled with a full range of sonics not normally found in Drum n Bass's MAXIMUM VOLUME IS ALL THAT MATTERS glut of me-too tracks. And while Platinum Rush is the go to track for Dancefloor DJs, the next 3 songs are no less stunning - presenting such a mastery of Drum n Bass production it sets you in your place and forces you to learn something. Layers and layers of classic breaks perfectly edited and subdued into a mixture of synth washes, EFX and pristinely programmed percussion that wraps themselves around complex sonic patchworks of emotion and desire. There are so few standout EPs like this and ACTRAISER will be remembered for his work here for a long, LONG time to come. This a benchmark folks, consider the bar raised!

  • STEP005 - Motta, Champa…

    Arguably Stepping Forward's strongest single release to date; Motta, Champagne, MSDOS & State Logic ALL come 'cross with stunning work in the form of "The Need In Me / Maiko". Both of these songs are A-cut level material and making the rounds with all the major players in the world of Liquid right now. MSDOS and Motta's material is being bigged up by the one and only LTJ Bukem in nearly ever set he plays these days.
