BAR9
Bar9 need no introduction to anyone who has been paying even the slightest attention to what has been happening to dubstep in the last few years. Arguably the original pioneers of the tearout dubstep sound they have risen to the top of their game and played tons of shows all over the UK and world regularly rubbing shoulders with the biggest names in dubstep and DNB. They have done many high profile remixes for artists including Noisia, Example, Foals, Nero, Foreign Beggars and have releases on Z-Audio/Audio Phreaks, Data (Ministry of Sound), CR2, Polydor, Mercury/Universal, Vision and Dented.

SUBJECT 13
DNB Legend David Stewart as Subject 13 worked his way into the music scene from the streets of Hoxton to be a pioneer of the dance floor synth sound with the instant classic track Eternity which stormed the underground world on the well-known UK label Vinyl Solutions. His second single “Promise” made the UK charts while he also working with some of music's big names, such as producer Alan Scott. His development of the rave sound allowed him to later on direct the d&b music scene with Oceans, signed to Fabio's label 'Creative Source' and Faith signed to LTJ Bukem's label 'Good Looking'.
‘The creativity and unique style of Subject 13 sets him apart from the crowd, and just as it did back then gained him respect from all echelons…(Subject 13 is a) Living example of true individualism’ (DJ Magazine).
His imprint Vibez Recordings and its subsequent artists (inc Seba, Paradox, Alaska, Big Bud & Intense) have showcased talents for over 20 years to the world and proved that their sound stretched past the conventional and have since been described as ‘Responsible for some of the most moving music of recent times’ (Eternity Magazine). The gifted contribution to music that S:13 made was later on recognized worldwide, leading Sony Japan to snap up the chance to promote him in 1997. The deal was a hallmark of his successes throughout the 1990’s and made sure his music was given a piece of the limelight amongst internationally acclaimed producers Roni Size, LTJ Bukem, Adam F and Goldie who continued to elevate and cement S:13’s rightful place within the dnb world. 13 went on to complete an exclusively solo album for Sony Japan, named ‘Disclosed Knowledge’ which included the epic track ‘Phuture’…... His second album, ‘Vibez Presents’ allowed Big Dave to bring in talented newcomers that were being promoted in the Vibez camp and gave them a unique opportunity to express themselves on the international scene. Subject 13 continued to DJ in Holland, Switzerland, Estonia, Germany, Sweden, Finland and France to packed out crowds full of S:13 devotees.
Under his new moniker Mr Lefteye, Dave has gained fans ranging from contemporary pacemakers such as Gilles Peterson to Ben Watt, and as importantly, music lovers and connessiours all around the world. Mr LeftEye has been created so David can express his new productions away from the pre conceptions of his DnB title. Mr LeftEye is currently working on his own album, with a hand selected group of live musicians and vocalists, including Amelia Brightman and the Drummer Marc Gilmore (herbie hancock), not to mention the top Swedish string section to create the ambience required. His first 4 track EP, ‘Beats in the Key of G Minor’ is out now - exploring his beat driven filmic influences, creating
scoundscapes that listeners genuinely lose themselves to. For a good listen to what else is due for release go to
