FRICTION bio:
At the age of 29, Brighton raised, multi award winning DJ Friction is a member of an exclusive club. He is one of a handful of DJ's to have smashed through the ranks and become a superstar in his genre simply through an unbelievable talent behind the decks. . 

As a teenager Friction played at events and promoted his own club nights much like any other young DJ trying to make a name for himself. He soon linked up with Brighton producers 'Stakka & K-Tee', who were heavily involved with Andy C's Ram Records imprint. Many hours were spent in the studio and in February ’99 Friction released his debut single ‘Critical Mass’ under the name Kinnetix on the 'Under Fire'. 

Before long Friction received interest from major Drum & Bass record companies such as TOV & Renegade Hardware. He soon produced a track for TOV's ‘Here Comes Trouble’ EP with the defining track ‘Photon’. Things were most definitely moving for this talented, hugely motivated young man from Brighton. 

Releases followed on a host of top drum & bass labels including Valve, Tru Playaz, Passenger, Hardware, 31 Records, Hospital and Charge to name a few. These days due to his nonstop Club and Festival schedule the releases flow slightly slower but always to high critical acclaim. After joining BBC 1Xtra in 2002 at the station’s launch, he made his mark quickly. His 'Mix Show' was truly groundbreaking, creating a massive following worldwide, reluctantly calling it a day after two years with his ever increasing schedule proving too much. 

Numerous awards have followed, including ‘Best Newcomer’ in the 'Drum & Bass Arena' Awards in 2002, ‘Best Breakthrough DJ’ at the 2003 'Knowledge Magazine Awards', another 'Best Newcomer' at the 2004 'Accelerated Culture Awards' and finally 'Best DJ' at the MTV Romania Awards in 2007. Friction's mix CD's have also grown in quality and popularity. 

The Bingo Sessions Vol.1 Cd (with DJ ZInc) on Bingo was a massive hit, charting in the national LP top 40 and was followed with the first of his own highly successful series, 'The Next Level' which has gone on to sell thousands worldwide. 

His remix of 'Back To Your Roots' released on Shogun in 2007 was also regarded as the biggest drum and bass track of the year and received plays from Annie Mac to the Stanton Warriors to Judge Jules. Around the same time he began to dabble with the Breaks scene, playing at select events around the world, joining Aquasky in the studio to produce the uncompromising anthem 'Control Freak', released on their 2007 'This Way Up' LP on Passenger. 

This year will see his debut artist LP released, co-produced with longtime studio partner K-Tee.
