Zed Bias is an English electronic musician who operates within the UK garage and broken beat genres, both as a producer and a DJ. He has also released material under the pseudonym Maddslinky and is half of the Phuturistix duo, as well as other side projects.[1][2]
Bias is best known for his single "Neighbourhood" which reached #25 in the UK charts in July 2000.[3] He has remixed songs by artists such as Gabrielle, Kosheen, Maxim, Pharoahe Monch and The Streets.[2] He runs the Sidestepper Recordings label.[1][2] Bias' releases, which explore a more experimental or progressive side of the 2-step garage sound, have been hailed as a crucial element in the establishment of dubstep as a definable sound or genre.[4][5]
