One of Drum and Bass’ most important ambassadors, Crissy Criss has become an established force both in the studio and the DJ booth. One of the scene’s most versatile leaders, Crissy has become a household name in broadcasting, DJing and production.

The DJ
Hailing from Leytonstone, Crissy Criss was constantly exposed to pioneers of the primordial Drum and Bass scene, and given the best start possible for a certified DnB selector. Given his first pair of decks at 5 by his step father Kenny Ken, Crissy’s mum was also the founder of the DJ Agency, Ton Management. Home to the likes of Kenny Ken, Nicky Blackmarket, EZ Rollers, Peshay and Stevie Hyper D, the musical environment was a huge influence for a young DJ - and proved instrumental in his later career. After hanging round with Drum and Bass’ brightest lights, it was no suprise that Crissy became interested in following the Drum and Bass heroes he admired.

Crissy’ first gigs were played to an empty room, sneaking into Kenny’s studio when he wasn’t home - but it was at the tender age of nine that his career began its meteoric ascent. After months of dedicated practise, and lots of broken turntable needles, Crissy's first gig as a DJ came without warning - at an empty Festival at The Essex Show ground. A last minute replacement for Kenny Ken, Crissy ended up playing alongside the likes of Andy C and GQ - names he would regularly be associated with in the future. Only 12 months later, Crissy had his first ever DJ booking. Handpicked by the mighty DJ Zinc, Crissy warmed up the legendary End for a line up that included Mampi Swift, Bad Company and again, Andy C. In 2001, Crissy also began playing abroad - solidifying his position as an international top DnB DJ. Since then, Crissy Criss has continued to be a force behind the decks, regularly playing at venues like Fabric, as well as for the BBC.

The Broadcaster
As well as delighting crowds in live events, Crissy began to use his ear to play the best tunes on the airwaves. Getting his first break on the legendary Kool FM at 10 years old, Crissy took his first steps to becoming one DnB’s most important broadcasters. Regularly playing with Logan D at the age of 15, Crissy soon graduated from Kool FM, stepping up to BBC’s national Radio 1. The youngest DJ presenter to ever grace the BBC’s flagship station, Crissy Criss’ first started on a 6 month Residency before quickly being given his own, permanent show.

Since then Crissy Criss has flown the flag for Drum and Bass on the BBC, with his weekly Radio 1Xtra show delighting listeners for a total of seven years. Breaking new artists on the biggest stage, Crissy Criss helped the likes of Camo and Krooked, Flux Pavillion, FuntCase, Metrik, Mind Vortex, Fred V & Grafix, SPY, Dimension and many more become iconic names for those in the know. As well as servicing the underground, the 1Xtra show also attracted many mainstream accolades - including a nomination for a Sony Radio Award.

Using his undeniable mixing talent and respected position, Crissy Criss has become an ambassador for DnB - representing the genre at numerous 1Xtra Live gigs alongside the likes of Alesha Keys, Disclosure, Chase & Status and more.

The Producer
Like many DJ’s, Crissy Criss soon caught the producing bug. Beginning his beat making with the Back2Basics label in 2004, it wasn’t long before Crissy soon found a home at Drumsound and Bassline Smith’s Technique Recordings. Regularly releasing his own tracks from 2010, including the huge “Give You The World’ album with Youngman, releases on a multitude of labels soon followed. As well as signing his own tunes to the likes of the legendary V Recordings, Crissy also found time to launch his own imprint: Zoo Recordings - a label which has helped break a new wave of electronic artists.

Now, after a discography encompassing Grime, DnB, HipHop and a Top 40 produced hit with Yasmin and Shy FX, Crissy Criss is now ready to start a fresh new chapter in his production story.

A statement of intent, Crissy’s latest track “Create the Future” was played on his last show for the BBC, and immediately gained Radio and DJ support from Annie Mac, Zane Lowe, MistaJam, Andy C, DJ Hype, Subfocus, Matrix & Futurebound, Friction, Drumsound nd Bassline Smith, Annie Nightingale, London Electricity and many more.

Creating The Future

Now putting his talents to use in the studio and behind the DJ Booth, 2015 is set to be the biggest year yet for one of the most versatile, exciting leaders of the Drum and Bass scene.

Mob Tactics seem to be a name on people’s lips more and more of late. Already renowned for their own inimitable style of techy – yet very funky, dance-floor orientated drum & bass, the duo appear to be going from strength-to-strength with each release. Their tunes are already firm staples in the sets of Andy C, Friction, DJ Hype & Audio, to name but a few, and the demand for them on the DJ circuit is rapidly gaining momentum. Heavily influenced by the likes of Ed Rush & Optical, Bad Company, Konflict and Total Science, you can always guarantee a Mob Tactics release or DJ set will be nothing short of high octane.

Luke and Mark first met in 2009, when Luke, who was running the music department at Chemical Records, signed some of Mark’s tunes to their in-house imprint: RUN DNB. After instantly hitting it off and realising their musical tastes were so similar, the two decided to hit the studio in early 2010. The first weekend at Mark’s studio they managed to create ‘Gunjack’ and the following weekend at Luke’s, they knocked out ‘Stick-up Kid’ – both of which went on to garner support from DJ Hype, Bailey & Crissy Criss, and were subsequently released a few months later on Traffic Music.

Mob Tactics was born.

Fast forward a few years and the boys are in full swing. 2011/2012 saw several releases on the duos own imprint: Tactical Recordings – including the critically acclaimed ‘Kansas’, and a track for BTK’s Dutty Audio label entitled ‘Prang’. But it was 2013 that proved to be the most successful year to date. The dancehall tinged drum & bass hit: ‘Crazy Hype’, featuring ragga legend, Elephant Man, was snapped up by Playaz. Their remix of Cause4Concern’s early 2000 anthem: ‘Soul’ went on to feature in the sets of just about every man and his dog! Prolix snatched up ‘Grotbags’ for his Trendkill imprint, and the legend that is Andy C signed up ‘Wolf Trap’ exclusively for the sixth installment of his hugely successful Nightlife compilations.

2014, and the duo show no sign of slowing things down. With an EP already penned for release on Cause4Concern Recordings, another track in the pipeline for Ram, and a DJ schedule that is shaping up rather nicely, chances are, if you like drum & bass – you might just like Mob Tactics.

With an ever growing crop of new talent constantly emerging in the world of drum & bass there’s a crew staking their claim to make themselves heard this year. Making some serious noise out of the South West, Sinprint might be a new name to you but they certainly aren’t new to the game. Previously going under the moniker SubMental, the duo comprised of Max Stevens and Lee Williams under their new Sinprint alias are intent on doing some damage with their particular brand of punchy yet melodic dance floor music.

Their involvement with the music began as DJ’s and they have been taken to the decks at events such as Random Concept, Audio:Pressure as well as residencies at festivals including Nass, Glade and Run To The Sun. Proving themselves to be no slouches when it came to playing the music they loved the logical step into production was an easy one for the guys to make. Last year they got radio support from Crissy Criss on BBC 1Xtra and club approval from Hospital Records own Fred V & Grafix.

Now as Sinprint it’s time for Max and Lee to step it up a gear. 2014 is already looking like it’s promising a lot for the Cornwall based pair. They’ve recently cemented their hard work and dedication by signing an exclusive deal with Sigma’s Life Recordings. The first fruits of Sinprint’s labours on the chart topping acts label is The Distance / Hyperlink, both cuts hard hitting but laced with vibes and just a small glimpse of what is to come from them.

Sinprint will most definitely be ones to watch for the future.
