DALEK ONE is one of the many faces emerging in the new era of Dubstep but one of the few Americans doing it well. The Colorado native, born Tanner Pennington, has been tearing clubs up with his massive tunes over the past couple years. His distorted basslines and punchy snares hit you in the chest like a fatal blow from Liu Kang and are nothing short of unsettling. With sounds larger than the man himself, it’s no surprise that Dalek One has garnered much support from the likes of Truth, J:Kenzo, Biome, and Enigma Dubz amongst others; and has released on Truth’s Deep, Dark & Dangerous as well as cutting-edge Dubstep label Encrypted Audio. These next few years are proving to be pivotal as he signs and releases more and more music with continuous ingenuity and each release being better than the last.

UK based producer, 'LOST' was born and raised in Croydon which is established as being the birth ground of Dubstep and home to the scene's most influential producers. Starting as a Grime Dj, it was not long before his attention was caught by the burgeoning Dubstep movement happening around his area. After many attendances to early FWD nights on a Thursday in late 2007, LOST decided to take up music production and turned his hand to Dubstep. LOST was singled out by Dubstep/DNB don, Jakes, and was asked to join 'HENCH recordings'. As well as being known for his deep, more sub driven sound today, LOST brought his own unique style to HENCH when he joined which influence a new wave of producers. Aside from playing clubs and festivals and touring the USA, LOST has seen releases on labels such as HENCH, RVRSL, Deep Dark & Dangerous, Wheel & Deal, GetDarker, Duploc, Disciple, Subcarbon.
