RUMBLE !! XMAS SPECIAL
@ torvi (loviisankatu 8, lahti)
entrance 7€ (5€ before 23)
CRYSTAL CLEAR (UK) | cold blooded, playaz |
Following early success with “Let’s Get Started” on Reformed (included on Andy C’s Nightlife 2 compilation) Crystal Clear soon found himself hooked on music production.
After a chance meeting with another rising star Xample (Loadstar), the two set about combining their talents. The result was the anthemic “Sister” released on Ram’s sister label Frequency and the critically acclaimed “Heaven & Hell”, part of the Dimensions EP on Ram.
Around this time Crystal came to the attention of drum and bass legend and Playaz aficionado DJ Hype. Seeing an artist with a good attitude and range as a producer, flipping from jump up bangers to smooth, liquid rollers he soon snapped Mr Clear up to join the Playaz camp and his debut “2Tone Sound” was released soon after.
Now an integral part of the Playaz roster and under the guidance of DJ Hype himself, Crystal Clear has gone from strength to strength, working to forge a solid sound that’s earning respect from the highest quarters.
His collaborations with Netsky “King Of The Stars” & “Come Back” received extensive critical acclaim whilst club smasher “Streethawk” sold out in a week. In addition to this, “Itzalot” was thoroughly rinsed on UK national radio from the likes of Annie Mac, Grooverider & Mistajam.
Recent months have seen Crystal knock the drum & bass scene for 6 with hit after hit such as “Futura”, “Gang Related” (1xtra DNB Chart no.1), Pure Thought (Trackitdown no.1) and of course the unmistakable anthem “Heavy” alongside long time collaborator Zen. All of these have seen massive radio support across the globe.
Known for consistently coming up with the remix goods Crystal Clear has undertaken such classics as “Only 1Life” by Ganja Kru and “Heavy Metal” by Twisted Individual. In addition to this his remix of Zen’s “Full Effect” was chosen as Grooverider’s rewind track on Radio 1…need we say more?!
Not just a producer, Crystal Clear is a DJ resident at Playaz @ Fabric and adept at working a crowd having graced the decks of clubs across the world.
Feeling that the time was right to launch his own imprint, Summer 09 saw the launch of Cold Blooded Recordings.
Since its inception Cold Blooded has consistently released credible, cutting edge music to the support of the likes of DJ Hype, Andy C, Pendulum, Crissy Criss, Bailey, Netsky, Sigma and Marky to name but a few.
