SWITCH
Famous for what he and friends Jesse Rose and Herve cheekily coined as fidgit house, Switch set dancefloors on fire with original bass-heavy tracks Get Ya Dub On, This is Sick and perhaps the most loved yet overplayed bootleg of 2006, A Bit Patchy.
With more aliases than you can poke the proverbial stick at, Switch/Solid Groove/A Brucker, is probably most well-known for his remixing prowess. Unless youve been hiding in a bomb shelter since Y2K, its fair to say that you would have heard the likes of Basement Jaxx, The Chemical Brothers, Les Rhythmes Digitales, Kelis, The Black Ghosts, The Futureheads, Lady Sovereign, Spank Rock, Bonde Do Role, Simian Mobile Disco, Armand Van Helden and many, many more getting the truly original and identifiable Switch treatment.
In more recent times some of the music industrys truly elite have also employed this masters production skills with Switch featuring heavily on the new M.I.A, Santogold and Tricky albums. And just to prove that he really has all the boxes ticked, Switchs labels Dubsided and Counterfeet (co-owned with Sinden) have been going from strength to strength, featuring the exquisite work of the likes of Sinden, Count of Monte Cristal, Speakerjunk, Radioclit and Duke Dumont.
