Having brought dubstep music to Bristol in early 2004 with his Context and Subloaded nights, Rob Ellis, aka Pinch, worked hard to develop the sound in his home town and the city has flourished as a result of his inputs.

Dubbed by many as “Bristol’s Godfather of Dubstep”, Pinch runs the club giant Subloaded, as well as the successful Tectonic imprint. Starting in 2005 Tectonic quickly grew in reputation to become known as one of the most reliable labels alongside Hyperdub, DMZ and Tempa. Releasing reputed artists such as Loefah, Skream and bringing new signings such as Cyrus and 2562 to the table, Tectonic is also known as the main home for Pinch’s own productions, delivering the widely acclaimed ‘Underwater Dancehall’ LP in late 2007. The LP received huge support from the world press receiving 9/10 in Vice, 5/5 in Mixmag and album of the month in DJ Mag – to name a few.

His reputation has taken him across the globe over the last few years, having played across most of Europe, as well as Russia, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and even China (being the 2nd UK dubstep artist ever to be invited to play in China).

Pinch is regarded by his fans and peers alike as one of the main players in dubstep – always pushing boundaries forward both by means of his original productions and in his cutting edge dubplate led DJ sets.

There are few electronic music lovers that haven’t already heard Jamie Anderson’s work. Ever the innovator, Jamie has been a production powerhouse since the early 90’s. Working from his Artform Records HQ in Bristol, Jamie produced a long string of seminal releases that rapidly established him as a recognised pioneer of the UK tech-house scene.

Huge collaborations with some major players such as Jesse Rose (“jack jack jack jack yer body!”) and a long list of pseudonyms, such as Idiotproof and other secret projects on labels such as Made to Play, Sombom and Front Room, have allowed Jamie to constantly adapt and develop his sound.

As a DJ and Live act, his legendary performances have all contributed towards establishing his strong fan-base. Having never allowed himself to be pigeon-holed or categorised, he looks forward to create new sounds rather than follow trends. For this reason alone is why Jamie is one of the world’s most exciting and innovative artists.

We love him to bits and are chuffed to have him as a regular fixture behind the Motion decks… download his fantastic new podcast and catch him on his next visit to Motion!

Why have we asked Max Cooper to open our EarMotion podcast series? Because he’s one of the UK's fastest-rising stars – one of few producers whose work bridges the gap between electronica and techno.

He's just had his second top 20 on the international Hype Machine chart, and both DJ and IDJ have singled him out as one to watch. His recent productions on labels like Moshi Moshi, Traum, and Veryverywrongindeed range from stark, beautiful remixes of acts like Hot Chip and Au Revoir Simone to more pumping, emotive dancefloor techno - and just the last few months have seen his live and DJ sets headline Fabric’s experimental Sunday "Wet Yourself", the local Gotwood Festival, and gigs in Germany, Holland, Amsterdam, Italy, Russia and Israel.
