Mumdance is a DJ and producer from the UK, honing an influential and often imitated sound that draws from grime, techno, experimental sound design, hardcore and more. As a DJ, he inhabits a unique musical space, encapsulated by his weekly Rinse FM show which has seen him comfortably play back to back DJ sets with heavy hitters such as Nina Kraviz, DJ Stingray, Regis, James Ruskin, Perc, Lee Gamble, Prurient, Shifted, Ron Moreilli, Pinch & Varg, as well as artists from across the full breadth of the dance music spectrum such as DJ Storm, ENA, Helm, Spyro, Powell, Tropic of Cancer, Slipmatt, Sunil Sharpe, Peder Mannerfelt, Josey Rebelle, Beneath & Kowton. Since learning his craft in the basement of pioneering grime artist Jammer around 2006, Mumdance has built a reputation as an innovator. His early days saw him collaborate with artists as diverse as Skepta and Brodinski, while living & working with local musicians in Mexico, Brazil & Egypt broadened his horizons in a way that informs his work to this day. In 2013, following a two-year hiatus, Mumdance returned with his most critically acclaimed and commercially successful music to date. Honing a stark, minimalist aesthetic, his 2013 mixtape Twists & Turns was in FACT Magazine’s top ten albums of the year and their 31st best album of the last five years, while his collaborations with Novelist, ‘Take Time’ and ‘1 Sec’ (released on legendary label XL Recordings), mark two of the biggest anthems from grime’s recent revival, and topped end of year charts from Resident Advisor, Mixmag, FACT, Dummy, Noisey and more. This period also saw Mumdance come into his own as a DJ, with a series of well-received and influential mix CDs – a back-to-back mix CD with Pinch in 2014, a CD for Fabric’s prestigious FabricLive series in 2015, and again a year later with 'Mumdance & Logos Presents Different Circles’ – one of US iTunes’ top 10 electronic albums of 2016. He has since played international festivals including Sónar Barcelona and Reykjavik, Unsound, CTM, SXSW, Glastonbury, Applesap and Field Day, toured Europe, the Americas and Asia on multiple occasions, lectured at the Tate & performed at the Barbican and ICA. As a speaker, he has since lectured and hosted production workshops across Europe, and as far afield as Australia, Japan, India and Russia. During this time he also launched Different Circles, his record label and event series with Logos which coined the ‘weightless’ sound – an already-influential combination of grime, techno, music concreté, ambient music & sound design. The weightless series of vinyls laid out a set of ideas for approaching soundsystem music from a completely different angle. Different Circles has run a number of label events across the UK and reached out across Europe at Berghain’s Säule space & Elevate Festival in Austria. An experienced collaborator, Mumdance has worked extensively with Pinch, producing a string of dance floor focused EP’s as well as long time collaborator Logos, releasing the critically acclaimed album ‘Proto’ which twisted techno, bleep, tech-step, grime & hardcore into strange new forms. Also working with artists more further afield such as BAFTA-nominated Mica Levi, Tirzah, Nozinja & Yuzo Koshiro. Alongside this, Mumdance has two more experimental leaning side projects; 'The Sprawl', in collaboration with Shapednoise & Logos which explores dark cyberpunk soundscapes & ‘Bliss Signal’ which combines black metal with drone & cascading walls of sound. In late 2016 Mumdance took his love of sound design to the next level, scoring an official advert for Nike’s new Nikelab/ACG collection, and created presets for Roland’s re-launch of the iconic TR-909 and TR-303 machines. Winter 2017 will see the release of a the MUM M8, his collaborative Eurorack Module with ALM Busy Circuits.

The artist known as Pinch is a pioneer of dubstep, the sound that sparked one of the biggest waves of musical creativity ever seen in the UK. Subloaded, which he began in his adopted hometown of Bristol back in 2004, was the first dedicated dubstep and grime night outside of FWD\u003e\u003e in London, and to this day the impact of the party still ripples through Bristol's bass community. Techno's endless permutations are as much an inspiration as dub in Pinch's music. His DJ sets and productions take the term 'dub techno' not as a concrete blueprint laid down by Basic Channel in the 1990s, but as a creative springboard to explore and combine two of the most versatile music styles ever conceived. The bass and dynamics of dub are interwoven with the tense soundscapes and atmospheres of techno. This is why you might find Pinch scorching the dance floor at a techno club one week, before rolling out a set of the heaviest dub, dubstep and dancehall the next. The strength and flexibility of Pinch's sound has naturally created a global demand for his DJ sets. Beyond regularly playing in the UK and Europe, he's toured in over 40 countries, which has included the USA, Canada, Japan, China, Australasia, South East Asia, Russia and Mexico. This ongoing activity has also been reflected in media and radio interest. Pinch has recorded mixes for BBC R1, 1Xtra, Kiss FM, Resident Advisor, FACT and Red Bull (with whom he's worked on various projects), while his 2012 session for the Fabriclive series remains a landmark in his career. The vehicle for so much of Pinch's work down the years has been Tectonic. Since founding the label in 2005, he's released music from trailblazers like Loefah, Skream, Scientist, 2562, Photek, Digital Mystikz, Distance, Flying Lotus, Joker, Addison Groove and Peverelist, and he continues to cultivate fresh talent who have an eye on club music's future. Seminal Pinch releases like the 2007 album Underwater Dancehall and tracks such as 'Midnight Oil,' 'Blow Out The Candle' and 'The Boxer' have all appeared on Tectonic. Away from home, his releases and remixes have featured on leading labels like Planet Mu, Soul Jazz, Punch Drunk, Deep Medi, Swamp 81, Ninja Tune, Warp, Wichita, Wax and On-U Sound, collaborations that have yielded a few bass music classics—'Qawwali,' 'Punisher,' 'Croydon House,' 'Swish.' This openness to collaboration has been one of Pinch's defining artistic characteristics. He's worked with a broad swathe of club music producers down the years, which more recently has included a partnership with Mumdance that's given us anthems like 'Turbo Mitzi,' 'Strobe Light' and 'Big Slug,' which featured Riko Dan. Pinch's collaborative work in the album format has also lived long in the memory. In 2011, he linked with the inimitable Shackleton to write an album for Honest Jons, while his ongoing work with the legendary Adrian Sherwood has so far produced two albums, 2015's Late Night Endless and 2017's Man Vs Sofa. The pair toured the globe together playing live dub sets as Pinch & Sherwood. Moving into 2019, and with a deadly 12-inch for Berceuse Heroique soon to drop, Pinch has lined up a brand new series of collaborations that will be tearing through soundsystems in the near future. A follow-up to 2007's Underwater Dancehall album is also in the works, a project that will build upon the longstanding foundations laid down by one of UK club music's true originals.
