✶ MULTIPLY (CTRL-Z & SPECIMEN A) + MC AD ✶ (UK)
(Breakbeat Connection // Bassrock // Distorsion Records)
Breakbeat veterans Nicky D’silva and Phil Jones aka Ctrl-Z and Specimen A team up to bring you Multiply. With years of experience under their belt and a history of performing together, the former Funkatech artists are merging their styles to create a new sound for fans of the broken beat and mid tempo genre. Leaning heavily towards a UK style, they draw inspiration from Jungle music culture and Drum and Bass to influence their production and engineering. With tracks like ‘Powder’ and ‘Back in the 90’s’ the duo are not afraid to take things in a new direction and see where it goes and who follows. https://www.beatport.com/artist/multiply/77771
