Shogun Audio boss DJ Friction has made a huge impact on the drum & bass scene in the last few years. He started out as a young teenager, cutting about Brighton handing out mixes, throwing parties and starting to make a name for himself.
It wasn't long before he caught the attention of producers Stakka & K-Tee who were heavily involved with Andy C's Ram Record imprint, and Friction released his debut single 'Critical Mass' under the name Kinnetix (Stakka & Friction).
Before long, heavyweight D&B labels were knocking on Friction's door, and several releases followed on Hardware, Tru Playaz and Hospital, to name but a few. Friction makes energetic, addictive drum and bass - not so much-head nodding as whole-body-rocking.
DJ Friction's talent didn't go unnoticed, and in 2002 he won 'Best World Newcomer' at the Drum and Bass Arena awards, then 'Best Breakthrough' at Knowledge Magazine's 2003 awards. Fast forward a few years and Friction is a household name, regarded as one of the scene's major players along with Andy C, Grooverider, Zinc, Hype and DJ Marky.
