Wedge is a dubstep producer with a dark and sinister edge. Drawing on a wide range of menacing atmospherics, haunting sonic soundscapes, chest rattling sub bass, and squelchy LFO frequencies, Wedge produces a journey into the depth of the depraved. His music encompasses a wide range of influences from glitch, techno, dub, 80’s electro, hip hop, metal, and obscure 70’s horror movies. His music is as equally subversive and enthralling to listen to on headphones, as it is to skank hard to in the rave.
Wedge began promoting a Dubstep night in Bath called ‘Underground’ back in 2004 with close friends Appleblim and Gatekeeper. In 2005 he became a member of Bristol’s infamous HENCH crew with MC Jakes, Headhunter, Whiteboi, and Komonazmuk.
Since then Wedge has played at some of the biggest events in the country and abroad including FWD, Blowpop, Glade Festival, Freak Camp, Sonic Warfare, Technicality, Drive By, Run, Shit the bed, Penguin Dance, Just Jack, and HENCH (to name but a few), and recently headlined at Sziget festival Hungary in front a of 3000 strong crowd hosted by the Foreign Beggors and MC Jakes.
Wedge has had many plays from the likes of Maryanne Hobbs, Mike Paradinas (Planet Mu), Appleblim, Shackleton, Distance, Darkside, HENCH crew, Joker, Skream, N-type, Hyjack, Chef, Beezy, Pinch, Peverelist, Gemmy, Starky, Djunya, Chasing Shaddows, High Rankin, and recently The Foreign Beggors. Wedge also features on the Maryanne Hobbs Bristol rise up special which aired on Radio 1 in December 2008.
