Featured Guest

Born in Oxford, England, but based in Melbourne, Australia, Hedchef‘s music made an instant impact on me when I heard his remix of Pluraist’s Gallak for Birmingham’s bass music label Circular Jaw – that you can hear on Mantis Radio 309.

He makes great club thump music that sits in a niche between electro, UK bass and moody techno. A member of Oxford’s collective Deep Cover as well as a producer for Circular Jaw, Eatmybeat and Dissident Sound, his tracks are not leaving my record bag any time soon.

He runs Voltage an electro focused event series in Melbourne.

Much like his music, his DJ sets are diverse, encompassing a range of tempo and style. Always with a low end dancefloor rumble in mind of course.
