12th PLANET:
John started over from scratch. After seven years touring the world as drum-n-bass maestro Infiltrata, after winning over icons such as Goldie and Photek, John Dadzie gave himself a new name, a new sound, and a new determination. It was 2005 and the gentile beatmaker was inspired by sounds he heard spun by the likes Technical Itch, Skream and Benga. It was dubstep.
And it was his calling. Once 12th Planet is born, the story really begins. The British dubstep movement takes hold in LA thanks to 12th Planet and the events he aligns himself with; Smog, Media Contender, HARD, and his own club night Dubtroit. Like the mythological twelfth planet (popularized by controversial author Zecharia Sitchin), our 12th Planet flies perpendicular to the system. His wicked beats are off axis. His subsonic frequencies surround you in their own orbit. America’s first king of dubstep is ready for impact.

12th Planet and Antiserum - Purple & GoldTERRAVITA
Made up of Chris Barlow, Matt Simmers and Jon Spero, they’re putting their electro powerhouse alterego Hot Pink Delorean to the side for just a second for their debut release on Beta, “Lockdown” and “Up in the Club”. The single is best described as ‘Drumstep’, a sub genre the Boston boys have been a part of from day one. Pioneers in the field, ‘Drumstep’ is proving to be one of the most popular rising genres to date.
Terravita were first recognised in 2006 by Maldini & Vegas (Bad Company) with 4 tracks featued on the Bad Taste 2 LP. Following 4 singles on Technique Recordings, including “Adult Robot Kung Fu”, Terravita have released music with Subsonik Sound as well as a remix of AK1200′s rave anthem “Drowning” that hit #4 on the Beatport Charts.
With huge support already from heavy hitters like Rusko, Dieselboy, John B and Evol Intent we can be certain that the massive single ‘‘Lockdown’’ is in set for big things this Autumn. ‘Lockdown’ kicks off by sending a shiver down your spine with its thrilling piano intro, building vehemence before dropping into a snarling, furious bassline. Following the pattern of intense intros that leave you shaking in your raving boots is ‘’Up in the Club’’. Its dark, mystic vibe draws you in before hitting you with a super-heavy drop.
As of April, 2011 their remix of “Sexy Party” is currently at #1 on the DNB Beatport chart, while “Nail in the Coffin” and “Drinks up Hands up” continue to climb.
