LOEFAH

Pioneers are often written about. Basically, anyone who clenches their teeth and continues to run the stage when it’s already hurting in the back of their neck and then they need to recover for about a week, gets this label. But let’s be serious, Loefah is truly one of the artists who gave the world dubstep. Equally 20 years ago, his split with Kode9 and Digital Mystikz was released. That same year the DMZ label was launched, followed a year later by an event of the same name. You already know the rest: cold, low frequencies took over British music for the next few years, led to a revival of respect for soundsystem culture and colonised Croatian shores. And after two decades, dubstep is doing as well as ever!
