Easy everyone, I play music and rep for the West Coast (Bristol that is). 

I got into DJing via Drum & Bass in the late 2000s and the passion has never stopped - from buying vinyl to mix with mates to collecting flyers from club nights and obsessing over track IDs, I've kept it rolling ever since and very grateful to have played in some mad places and worked with some incredible artists and record labels. 

In 2025 it’s all about sharing music, meeting new people and enjoying myself. I manage the record label 'Carbon Music' with Jubei, co-host a radio show with Hollie-May on SWU FM called 'Balance' and play as a resident DJ for multi genre night 'Hot Jams' in Bristol.

If you've ever seen me play out or listened to a radio show, then big love to you. If you haven't, then hopefully I'll catch you soon x

Universal Project established in 2000 as a quartet, with their distinctive fusion of Bboy breaks, techno elements, dubwise bass and futuristic twists quickly gaining popularity on dancefloors worldwide. 

With early classics such as 'The Craft' and 'Haunted Dreams' gaining heavy support, renowned Drum & Bass labels soon took notice, with releases following on the likes of Renegade Hardware, True Playaz, Cylon and Virus, who released their their legendary techno-infused track 'Vessel'. 

Their in house label Universal Project Recordings was created to promote their unique sound and collaborate with producers globally, with standout tracks such as 'Glock', 'Warboyz', 'Bleach' and 'Outrun' became fan favorites.

Now consisting of two founding members, with a musical background dating back to 1993, the pair have DJ'ed everything from Hardcore to Jungle, gaining a strong following on London's Pirate Radio stations. Touching down on stages and clubs across Europe, the US and beyond, the dynamic duo have solidified their reputation with performances alongside heavyweights such as Andy C, Friction, Grooverider, Chase & Status, Loxy, Bad Company and many more. 

Moving to the present day, Universal Project continue to bring their inimitable sound to the masses, with more recent releases on labels such as Sofa Sound Bristol, Innerground and Dispatch. In 2024, the release of the full Univesal Project Back Catalogue began, in a three part series featuring many remastered remastered.

In July, they launch their debut solo album 'Universal Language', fusing old skool flavours with a refreshed new focus. Comprised of 13x brand new productions, exploring the dark and rugged depths of the evolving Universal Project sound, the album features collaborations with Xtrah, Stealth, Taelimb and Blacklist, alongside 2x additional remixes of classic UP tracks by current day powerhouses Jubei & Zero T. Music is the Universal Language.

Causing mischief in every form possible, Grimmlin searches high and low for sounds forgotten and unheard. Weaving his way through crunchy snares, soul-sucking subs, and all the dark mutations present in dnb, it makes for a deep and intense journey that is as alien as it is familiar. 

Catch him tilting windmills and ripping beats from the underground every other Wednesday on Bassfreq Radio, and throughout southern California in various venues and formats.
