The release of his debut, self titled album at the end of 2009 turned Sub Focus into a phenomenon well beyond drum and bass circles, for it merges sounds as diverse as house, dubstep, techno, electro and vintage drum and bass with unprecedented skills. Sub Focus has been invited to mix the cover CD of Mixmag (April issue), demonstrating his unique mixing skills as well as his musical versatility.
This is after being asked to remix I Blame Coco’s next single, on the strength of his outstanding reworks of Dizzee Rascal, The Prodigy and Empire Of The Sun, that the idea of getting Coco to sing on the album track ‘Splash’ was born.
With only one single under her belt and a highly anticipated debut album due later this year, Coco is already hailed for her explosive charisma and deep lyrics delivered with passion by a uniquely husky voice. The stunning contrast between her rough delivery and the slick techno groove and powerful guitar riffs of ‘Splash’ is stunning, and already proven a winner: on the day he got the track, Zane Lowe made it ‘Hottest Record In The World’.
The package includes ‘Timewarp VIP’, a dancefloor favourite. A second 12” features an awesome Rusko rework and a new version of ‘Coming Closer’ VIP compliment of Sub Focus himself.
With more remixes, collaborations - with Example and Nero, and his first live tour looming supporting Pendulum, Sub Focus is still proudly plugging his album, and taking it to new levels.
