Introducing Statix. To put it simply, Dubstep's answer to Bad Company. Quite a title? With distinctive records such as 'Mind Over Matter', 'Samurai' & 'Anymore' shredding their way through the dubstep scene, it's one that is definitely justified. Eddie, Ross & John take care of the beats, while arguably Bristol's finest dubstep MC 'Frilla' spits catchy hooks and bars on an unsuspecting audience.
It wasn't long before the world took notice of the somewhat refreshing sound the guys were bringing to the dance-floor. Radio plays from the likes of Caspa, Rusko & Crissy Criss followed a 'mini-mix' request on the infamous Mary Anne Hobbs Radio 1 show. The spotlight was significantly placed upon 'Mind Over Matter' which even featured on Mary Anne Hobbs' U.S tour blog, beside the likes of Chase & Status, Joker & Plactician. 'Mind Over Matter' was then chosen to be released on one of the most exciting and contemporary record labels to emerge from 2009, 'Screwloose Records' where it would join highly desired up and coming releases from the likes of KOAN Sound & Asa.
After the sudden kick start, things only stated to get better for Statix, bagging themselves headline slots at club nights across the UK and europe with the likes of Nero, Chase & Status and being commissioned for remixes from the likes of Gatekeeper, Dr.syntax and Kate Mcgill. 9 months later, Statix are about to unleash the type of bass music the scene has been missing. Catchy vocals, Heaven sent synth lines, but keeping the basslines dark and nasty! Look out for the anthem that is 'Anymore' co-produced by the infamous Eddie K, seeing a release on H.E.N.CH in November 2011. Keep an ear out for forthcoming tracks on Screwloose records featuring 'Dr.Syntax' & 'Metropolis' (Foreign Beggars) amongst remixes for 'Zanetic' and Katie Sky.
Perhaps the best thing about Statix is the fact that the talent doesn't stop at the loading screen of Reason 6.0. Word of mouth alone established Statix high on the bills of several nights to start with in their home town of Bristol. Why? A well coordinated approach to live performances coupled with superb DJ skills and jaw dropping MC talent. Even with the somewhat dark sound the group can unleash through a sound-system, the future is most definitely bright for Statix.
