Compa

Hailing from Blackburn in Lancashire (UK) Compa is resident for Manchester Dubstep collective Just Skank, pushing his now-signature deeper, darker vibes on a regular basis around the city, and runs his own regular event in Blackburn called Wax with his partner-in-crime Brunks.

He’s one of a rare breed of DJ/producers who proudly propagates the dub plate culture that has always been a definitive trademark of the UK’s Dubstep, Jungle/D&B scenes – regularly making the trip from Manchester to London to visit cutting houses to cut his exclusive tracks on dub plate and rubbing shoulders with all the biggest names in the scene in the process. Resetting the precedence and abetting the resurgence of sub-heavy foundation-style Dubstep, it’s no surprise he was first drawn towards the deeper, edgier sounds of early luminaries of the scene such as Hatcha, Artwork, Burial & Digital Mystikz.

Compa’s debut release on Inna Riddim Records is the double A-side ‘Dreams / Them Dogs‘.
