MUD: Wobble Present JOKER // THE BREAKDOWN BAND

Joker is one of the most exciting bass producers at the mo. His tracks sound like 90s West Coast gangsta rap meets London grime & dubstep, or as his biog says "Jehrl Curl Boogie & Wiley stuck in an elevator".

JOKER

He burst onto the Dubstep and Grime scenes in 2008 with the vibrant ‘Grimey Princess’ and ‘Gully Brook Lane’ which were released on Earwax and Plastician’s Terrorhythm imprint respectively. His productions possess a rare duality in that they are both instantly identifiable yet impossible to classify. His musical peers include Rustie, Gemmy and Kode 9, the Hyperdub label boss and recognised tastemaker, identified Joker as one to watch when he named him as his protégée for Mary Anne Hobbs’ hugely seminal follow-up to Dubstep Wars, Generation Bass which was broadcast worldwide on BBC Radio 1. Joker and Nomad’s video can be viewed on Youtube and in testament to the level of interest in this Bristolian talent, continues to be the highest viewed video of the Maida Vale session.

His productions are battered by DJs including Appleblim, Pinch, Plastician and Rustie, he’s recently been named Pitchfork’s Producer Of The Year and Kapsize002, his latest release on his own imprint sold out in 2 days.
