Hailing from South London, Distance is widely regarded as one of the early pioneers in the Dubstep movement. He has a very distinct sound that has helped shape the genre into what it is today. Back in 2007 his album “My Demons” (released on Planet Mu) had a huge impact on myself and opened my eyes to this exciting new music genre that was bubbling up. Since then I’ve been excited to hear each and every release from this versatile producer. After having a quick glance at his myspace page, it appears Distance is going to be playing in Toronto on Friday April 16th!!!! (Which just so happens to be the same night as the Excision party being thrown by Embrace…hmmmm SICK!).
Check out his new track “Menace” released on his very own label “Chestplate”.

This tune almost made my top 10 of 2009 and has really grown on me over time. You need some nice subs to really roll this out one properly.

The first two tracks make me feel as though I am being chased by a terrifyingly foul beast through the forst pictured in this thread…and losing ground.
HARD… Pretty abrasive!
