Biography

Brighton-raised Friction is one of only a handful of drum and bass DJs to utilise three decks to mash up his mixes, creating a unique sound. As a teenager Friction was busy playing and promoting events in Brighton when he began collaborating with local producers Stakka & K-Tee who were heavily involved in Andy C's Ram Records label.

In 1998 Friction released his debut single Critical Mass under the name 'Kinnetix',^[1] attracting the attention of major labels. Soon he was releasing tracks on renowned labels such as Valve,^[2] Tru Playaz,^[3] Trouble On Vinyl,^[4] 31 Records,^[5] Hospital,^[6] Charge^[7] and Renegade Hardware^[8] alongside his own Shogun Audio imprint.

DJ Friction is regarded as one of the biggest DJs in the drum and bass scene, with an extremely fast rise to success in the last 5 years. Highly regarded for his various mix CDs and releases on labels like Hospital, Tru Playaz and Renegade Hardware. One of his biggest tracks was the "Back To Your Roots Remix" on Shogun Audio in 2007.

He is label manager of Shogun Audio,^[9] and was a regular DJ on the BBC 1Xtra D&B M1X Show. DJ Friction is not to be confused with the Asian DJ Fricktion who specialises in Hip Hop, or Bobby Friction of the BBC Asian Network.
