Echoes of haunted dancehalls and distant raves in London town… In late 2008 Spatial subverted the UK bass scene by releasing a limited 10” on his newly christened Infrasonics imprint. The expansion of dubstep's horizon with a technoid garage hybrid combined with the minimal aesthetic of the design and information reticence proved compelling in an age of categorisation and communication overload. The release scored an instant Boomkat single of the week and all but sold out inside two weeks. Spatial's subsequent two 10-inches were equally well received, allowing him to expand the Infrasonics output with a series of split 12-inches by other artists that challenged stylistic boundaries. Many reference points have been drawn in reviews of his music but none confidently define a sound that draws on a huge range of influences and continues to morph with each release. The consistencies are UK rave references, bass weight and an increasingly prevalent focus on energy in the material - thus receiving solid support in London, the UK and across the globe. As an in-demand DJ, Spatial’s sets traverse a breadth of bass centric styles centered around rawkus energy with brief refrains into deeper, more abstract material that play on tension and release. He’s played a host of underground parties in the UK and Europe whilst making appearances at festivals such as Club Transmediale, Freerotation and Unsound. He recently made his debut appearance in the US tearing up the revered Dubwar party
