Towards the end of 2001, and the start of 2002 something very exciting was happening in the world of drum and bass. For one man, years of hard work in the studio where finally beginning to get the recognition they deserved, and a fresh exciting sound was gradually filtering into sets of all the top flight DJs. One man and one album was about to, as one veteran put it, ìchange the gameî.
Twisted signed to Formation Records back in 1998, and for his debut produced Wales, the biggest track on the now legendary World of Drum and Bassî album. Seeing that he was onto a good thing with his new apprentice in 2001 DJ SS entrusted the seminal Lighter into the hands of the Twisted one to see if he could bring it up to date. Whilst working on his debut album he pieced together two of the biggest tunes of that year in the form of his Lighter remix and the F-Word. Proving that he could mix the rough with smooth the ëTooled Up!í LP on Formation Records showcased the Twisted sound - he had crafted an album that would get heads talking, and the crowds jumping. Following the success of ëTooled Up!í, Twisted found himself in the spotlight, with remix offers and DJ bookings beginning to flood in. Having been the DJ before he was the producer, playing on Shadow FM, Ruud Awakening and other pirate stations in London before his move to Leicester, Twisted was now able to showcase his skills on the decks all around the world. Picking up regular plays at all the major UK promotions including Slammin Vinyl, One Nation, Telepathy, Best of British, United Dance, Accelerated Culture, as well as residencies at all the Formation and World of Drum & Bass nights all over the World, Twisted is now an exclusive member of the top flight of D&B DJs. Always armed with a bag of fresh dubs to unleash on the crowds, his explosive partnership with MC Biggie has smashed many venues over the past few years. In this time Twisted has also been fortunate enough to have his travels take him all over the world, notching up stamps in his passport and champion hangovers everywhere from Germany to Estonia, USA to Australia, Spain to Brazil and pretty much everywhere else in-between. As with any popular style of music, when something is successful, the masses will follow, and soon the Twisted clones started to fill the shelves of all the record shops. Not a man known for his restraint, in 2003 Twisted got back in the dungeon and cooked up a message to all those he felt were ripping his sound. ëBandwagon Bluesí exploded onto the scene and instantly became an anthem with rewind after rewind ensuring this was a front runner in every DJs set. Off the back of his previous success and other tracks such as Rusty Sherrif's Badg, Heavy Metal, and Hand Grenade Twisted found himself up for 3 categories at the 2003 Accelerated Culture Awards, walking away with awards not only for Best Tune for Bandwagon Blues, but also Best Producer. Since then Twisted has not stopped. Recent tracks such as 'Swan Cake', 'Konga remix' have kept him at the top of his game. His days are now filled with tours and DJ bookings as well as a spending time in the studio working on a whole variety of projects, dnb and beyond for his own Grid Recordings. He has also recently turned promoter with the launch of a Grid night in London. TO book Twisted or to enquire about a Grid tour night, contact Jon @ Urban Agency.
