This week Radio One brings us DJ Zinc, an East Londoner who made a name for himself producing hip hop laced drum & bass in the mid ’90s. Throwing the genre mask on him would be a big mistake however, as he is always about hybrid sounds and fusing new elements into his productions and DJ sets. His versatility is what sets him apart from other DJs, jumping effortlessly between breakbeats, electro, two-step and grime. Listen out for quality re-rubs of Passion Pit, Laidback Luke, Major Lazer and Emalkay.
