Gremlinz & Mister Shifter

Onset teams up with newly formed production company Breakbeat Preservation Society for a special jungle / DNB showcase featuring the Seattle debuts of Gremlinz and Mister Shifter. Fans of mid-era Metalheadz and early Renegade Hardware know the name Gremlinz. The Toronto-based producer has had a legendary output on a variety of classic labels while pushing the genre into new directions with his latest work. Former half of DNB duo Random Movement, Mister Shifter has emerged as a formidable solo artist and has been a tastemaker of jungle and DNB for nearly two decades. Since focusing on his production, he’s had an assortment of releases on a variety of esteemed modern labels.

Gremlinz (Metalheadz / 31 Records / Paradox / UVB-76 / Droogs / Rupture / Renegade Hardware – Toronto): Toronto’s Gremlinz has been carving a path of his own within Drum & Bass for over a decade, staying true to the core elements of the music and never wavering from his sound, regardless of whatever the passing trends around him might have been. His signature sound remains rooted equally in Reinforced/Metalheadz/Bluenote era Jungle as it is in Renegade Hardware’s early 2000s moodiness, bookended by equal parts Dub and Techno and tied together with an ever-present B Boy edge. Following his debut on Metalheadz MDZ04 LP, Gremlinz has had excursions on many respected labels, and with each release, the accolades have poured in. His style is multi-faceted, allowing him to drop both pulsating, breakbeat-heavy B-Boy affairs to the more understated, minimal, dub-heavy tunes seemingly at will. His production style has been well received on both sides of the pond, and landed him a spot on Loxy & Ink’s HORSEMEN collective, aligning him with a superb stable of producers.

Mister Shifter (Dispatch / Artikal / Foxy Jangle / Aufect / Lightless / Flight Pattern / Innerground / Flexout / Dogs On Acid – Ohio): As one half of the original Random Movement duo, to emerging as a solo artist, Jack has been a tastemaker of jungle and DNB for nearly two decades. Since focusing on his production as Mister Shifter, he’s had an assortment of releases on esteemed labels Lightless Recordings, Artikal Music, Foxy Jangle, Dispatch Recordings and more.
