Roots Manuva says “Breakage is a man with an ear for deep, deep, sub-sonic frequencies. He goes in low. I think he's talking to sea-life. He's talking to the squid” .
Untold: Hemlock boss Untold is making some of the most original dubstep around at the moment, his production style made serious waves in the scene in 2009, making him one of the most foward thinking acts of this year.
