Reviews & Discussion

Review by _STaN_ Sep 13, 2009
Having grown up in Bristol Xample has always been surrounded by the sounds of drum and bass and the love of this music lead to him buying his first set of turntables. After relocating to Liverpool, he teamed up with the local dj/producers Sol and Futurebound and became a regular at nights around the North West, playing at some of the best nights in Manchester, Liverpool and Leeds. Around this time, Xample decided he wanted to try his hand at producing and before to long had notched up releases on labels such as Hard leaders, Penny Black and L plates.

In 2005 Xample moved back to Bristol and continued to work hard on shaping his sound, soon attracting interest from Andy C and the rest of the Ram camp, which lead to Xample signing to Frequency for a couple of 12s, before giving Ram his first track, 'Heaven And Hell', for the well received Dimensions EP, and also on Andy C's nightlife 3mix CD.

Following the signings of Subfocus and Chase & Status, Ram saw the massive potential of Xample and signed him. His first single for label, 'Lowdown/The Latter' was released in May 2007 to heavy dancefloor exposure and great reviews. 'Get Out Clause/Infamous' - out in December 2008 conforted his status , and the recently released 'Contra'/'Keep Their Heads Ringin' shows how Xample has blossomed into a first class producer, with his own, unique sound, and will shortly follow his labelmates Chase & Status and Subfocus with working on his debut album.
