Chris Reed, also known as The Plastician (formerly Plasticman), is a grime and also dubstep DJ and producer from Thornton Heath in the London borough of Croydon. The Plastician has played a role in the popularity of the genre thanks to his participation in the Rephlex Grime compilations, his primetime pirate radio shows and his recent BBC Radio One Residency slot. In addition to his worldwide DJ schedule, the Plastician has released records on labels such as Rephlex Records, Soulja, ROAD, Slimzos, A.R.M.Y. and Southside Dubstars. His musical style connects east London grime to the south London dubstep scenes. The Plastician also runs his own label; Terrorythm Recordings. He has a passionate love of chicken and can often be found in south London eateries, Morley's and Mazzi.

The Plasticman controversy

The Plastician came to fame under another moniker: Plasticman. As he gained in popularity, Reed was threatened with legal action by Canadian techno artist Richie Hawtin who had prior use right on the name "Plastikman"; this prompted Reed to change his name from Plasticman, to Plastician to avoid any legal tangles.
