Right now at the sharp end of things, the name that every serious DnB head is talking about is DUB PHIZIX. Recently added to D&B label Soul:R, an indication of the quality of the man’s music in itself, Dub Phizix’s sounds are literally everywhere right now, being played out by the likes of Fabio, Goldie, Marcus Intalex, and many more… Along side him we have STRATEGY from Broke’n’English, this man is host/MC of the highest calibre. With his roots firmly in hip hop you can expect intelligent rhyming and free styling from this man.
