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.
Statix means …. Well, nothing actually, there isn’t a reason
behind the name, although there is a reason as to why Statix
contains 4 members. 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.
Back in 2008, a Music Technology course in Bristol began to bring
the group together. Soon enough, friendships were developed,
musical influences were shared and finally, the idea to bring
about the group 'Statix' was put forward and optimised. 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 night 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. But as dubstep became more mainstream,
The competition got tougher. They soon realised that a cunning
master plan was needed to get them to the top, so they slowly
slipped into the shadows to work on their sound.
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 and hold tight for the first ever
static Drum n Bass colaboration with Hospital sensation 'N3gus'.
Perhaps the best thing about Statix is the fact that the talent
doesn’t stop at the loading screen for Reason 4.0. 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. And with a live performance in the
works, things are about to go from sick, to slick.
