Temps / Nexphaze

Tempo originally started writing and spitting from a young age, but back then it was mainly hip hop such as beastie boys, krs one etc. This is were he learnt about bars an how to how to write. At the age of 13 his friends all started to get into jungle and soon he was as hooked as they was with dirty basslines and amen loops. This is where he heard his first tape pack with stevie hyper d. Instantly he was hooked, as most people where back then with the fast flows and chants. He began writing constantly and at the same time got together with his long term friends hidro and bcg and they used to sit in each others bedrooms day after day, night after night learning how to spit an mix. Any free time was dedicated to drum and bass. From the start it was all about originality and he still strives for this aim to this day. Time soon come for him to start getting his name about so he began attending local raves such as stealth, expressions and other smaller nights. Tempo still couldnt find his break. Upon leaving school he couldnt decide what step to take in life so decided to join the royal air force and served 4 years as an engineer. During this time he still kept close contacts with his close friends back home (bcg,hidro etc), and still kept on writing and spitting as he knew deep down where his heart was, MUSIC! He could see the movements his close friend hidro was making an realised the move he had made was wrong. So he left the service and set his heart and mind in the music.
His first goal was to get a weekly show on district 99.2 fm where hidro had already been makin moves. Local raves and radio where all that mattered now an before long he was getting bookings further a field such as konnections in leicester. Things where moving but not quick enough. Tempo and hidro then started to look further afield an speakin with more an more people. Bookings began to come through with big name DJ's such as mikey Finn, Nicky Blackmarket etc, they began a regular slot on silk city fm in birmingham on the raveology show where they gained there residency at raveology. Since then things have gone from strength to strength with big nights approaching, and festivals behind them. Currently working on various hiphop projects and collaborating with various producers such as Sound Destructive, Kaotic, Juiceman (My Rebelious Sons) and many more.
