Honest Decent Criminal (HDC) -  a producer, drummer and DJ bringing a unique and original style to drum and bass, breaks and trip-hop/hip-hop. After over 10 years as a drummer and co-writer in an 11 piece hip hop and soul band, HDC soon found his feet in writing dance music with the collective works of The Push (https://soundcloud.com/wearethepush), a duo in the breaks scene for over a decade with a bounty of releases on UK and Spanish labels. With a lifetime of immersing himself in the dance music scene and drawing influence from the likes of Goldie, René LaVice, DJ Hype, Tali, High Contrast, Danny Byrd, Metrik, Freestylers, DJ shadow and Chemical Brothers, HDC is now set to make his mark with an inherently individual take on the all of the music that has come to have such an important part of his story so far.

Jonny Falls Over's music spans acoustic, rock and electronica, variously working in the different styles and recombining them in novel ways. The live lineup is Jonny on guitars/keys/vocals/electronics and Alex Lane on drums/samplers. Jonny’s intricate fingerstyle electric guitar and understated vocals are placed amongst electronic textures and the prodigious groove and precision of Alex’s drumming. The debut EP, Foothills, was followed in December 2018 with Warmer Climes. 2020 sees a raft of new acoustic tracks released as part of the ongoing Jung Sun Sessions and new material building up to the Hindsight project.

 

Growing up on a sheep farm in the West of England, Jonny began producing in his early teens when he built a studio computer from the discarded parts of old family desktops, recording any sounds he could find and playing anything he could lay his hands on to create his music. After moving to London to go to university, he has spent the past decade working with numerous bands, developing his performance and production skills. Now back in the West Country, he records and writes from his home studio. His other endeavours include Concrete Disco and composes for theatre and film. He has collaborated on various projects with, amongst others, Raymond Antrobus, Simon Mole, Ambreen Razia and Ovalhouse. You can link to all his projects from his website jonny.earth

​

Also born and raised out West, Alex Lane has played drums since the age of 10. In 2008 he moved to London to study drums at Drumtech (now BIMM) before heading to Herts University to gain a BSc in Audio Engineering/Sound Design. He divides his time between his two passions: playing drums and mixing records. He has mixed music for Yann Dulche, Santino, Lila Swain and Harmon. He has played drums for EatMoreCake, Korda Marshall, Red Kite, You Must Be Ames & d0d0, as well as producing electronica under the name I I I I.

Dan Savidge (AKA Bad Zuke AKA The Jinks) has released recent EP projects on Guesthouse Music (Oakland, CA) and King St Records (NYC). In 2012, his single ‘Everybody Talking’ (released on The Shapeshifters’ label Nocturnal Groove) reached number 13 in the Traxsource house chart, and stayed in the Beatport Top 100 for two weeks. It is featured on the hallowed Defected Most Rated Ibiza 2012 compilation.

Also known for his genre stupefying work as two quarters of The Jinks, Dan has been spaffing his goodness all over the front garden of the House that Jack built for nigh on a decade.
 
The sound of Bad Zuke explores the relationship between Detroitian sensibilities and vegan ethics. With influences as diverse as George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic, new frequencies are generated from both orderly and transcendant dialogues.
 
The rest of the story is the stuff of myth and legend, in that it is isn't true, but nonetheless, here we are, marvelling at the specimen of human perfection that is Dan Savidge.
