LONDON BASED PRODUCER GRAY’S RISE TO PROMINENCE WITHIN DRUM & BASS IS NOTHING SHORT OF ASTOUNDING. THE DJ AND PRODUCER CUT HIS TEETH ON THE UNDERGROUND CIRCUIT OF UNLICENSED RAVES AND FREE PARTIES, BUT NOW PLAYS THE BIGGEST DRUM & BASS PARTIES AROUND THE WORLD, SUCH AS THE MAIN STAGES OF BOOMTOWN, WAREHOUSE PROJECT AND PRINTWORKS. SHOWCASING A FIERCELY UP-FRONT AND DYNAMIC PRODUCTION CAPABILITY, HIS AMALGAMATION OF STYLES FUSE TO FORM A TRULY DEADLY COMBINATION FOR ANY DANCE.

INFATUATED WITH MUSIC FROM AN EARLY AGE, GRAY'S FIRST FLASHPOINT CAN BE TRACED TO A FAMILY FRIEND INTRODUCING HIM TO SEMINAL RECORDS FROM DUBSTEP PIONEERS CASPA & RUSKO, MOST NOTABLY THEIR FABRICLIVE 37. IMMEDIATELY OBSESSED WITH THESE OTHERWORLDLY AND INEFFABLE SOUNDS, GRAY FOUND HIMSELF HOOKED, AND THE EXPANSIVE REALM OF DANCE MUSIC HAD OPENED ITS GATES, AND WITH IT, HIS JOURNEY AS A PRODUCER BEGAN. ATTENDING HIS FIRST RAVE AT 13, GRAY'S EARLY IMMERSION INTO UK SOUNDSYSTEM AND RAVE CULTURE MOULDED HIS TASTES AND EXPERTISE PERFECTLY FOR A CAREER AS AN ARTIST. HE BUILT A REPUTATION ACROSS THE CAPITAL'S ILLICIT MUSICAL UNDERBELLY PERFORMING AT SQUATS AND RAVES, INCORPORATING HIS MYRIAD OF INFLUENCES TO CARVE OUT A DISTINCTIVE SONIC IDENTITY. GRAY SOON SET HIS SIGHTS ON BRISTOL AT 18, AS HE SOUGHT TO FURTHER IMMERSE HIMSELF IN THE DRUM & BASS HOTBED, AND TAKE THE NEXT STEP IN HIS CAREER.

SOON AFTER MOVING OUT WEST, GRAY SWIFTLY CAUGHT THE EYE OF BORN ON ROAD WHO IMMEDIATELY IDENTIFIED THE TALENT AT GRAY'S DISPOSAL. EXPANDING HIS REPUTATION AS A DJ AT ILLEGAL RAVES ACROSS THE SOUTH-WEST, GRAY SOON FOUND HIMSELF PERFORMING FREQUENTLY AT BRISTOLIAN STAPLES LAKOTA AND THE BLACK SWAN AS WELL AS MAKING HIS DEBUT AT THE LEGENDARY BOOMTOWN FAIR’S TANGLED ROOTS STAGE. THROUGH THESE EARLY PERFORMANCES GRAY CARVED OUT AN EXEMPLARY REPUTATION AS ONE OF THE FASTEST RISING TALENTS ON THE CIRCUIT AND WITH HIS DUBS AKIN TO GOLD-DUST, IT’S NO MYSTERY AS TO WHY.

HIS DEBUT SOLO EP ‘RUBADUB’ TOOK THE YOUNG PRODUCER TO DIZZYING NEW HEIGHTS, WITH SEMINAL HITS ONE SPLIFF AND RUBADUB INESCAPABLE FOR THE EARDRUMS AT RAVES ACROSS THE GLOBE AMASSING MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS OF STREAMS. HE NOW HAS A MYRIAD OF WILDLY SUCCESSFUL RELEASES UNDER HIS BELT FROM LIQUID BANGERS LIKE ‘TWILIGHT’ WITH A LITTLE SOUND TO UNDERGROUND STOMPERS SUCH AS ‘THE PREACHER' WHICH JUST FURTHER SHOWCASE HIS VERSATILITY AS AN ARTIST. A TRULY DISTINGUISHED DJ, AND ONE WITH AN IMPECCABLE TRACK RECORD OF IGNITING ANY DANCEFLOOR. HIS MOLTEN PRODUCTION AND SIGNATURE MIXING ABILITY HAVE RENDERED HIM A FAVOURITE FOR BOTH FANS AND ARTISTS ALIKE. THIS MONOLITH SUCCESS LED TO HIS NOMINATION AS ‘BEST NEWCOMER’ AT THE 2020 DRUM & BASS ARENA AWARDS AND IT’S CLEAR THE SKY’S THE LIMIT FOR THE YOUNG TALENT. WITH PLENTY MORE MUSIC TO COME, BE SURE TO KEEP YOUR EARS TO THE GROUND AS GRAY IS ONLY WARMING UP.
