CASPA
as a crowd and disk jockey favorite, london-based dj/producer/label boss gary mccann, aka caspa, has proved himself one few dubstep stars with name recognition outside of the genre’s insular scene. the west london native took up djing drum n’ bass at a young age, making a crucial switch to the fledgling dubstep sound in 2004: founding the influential storming productions label, and shortly thereafter, it’s better-known subsidiaries dub police and sub soldiers. thanks to the floor-filling power of his intial 12”s “cockney violin/dub warz” and “rubber chicken” (from tempa’s dubstep all-stars vol.3), caspa found himself djing across the europe, uk and crucially london ’s fabric nightclub. through his sets at fabric, with fellow londoner rusko, caspa was able to claim the coveted opportunity in 2007 to bring dubstep to a wider audience via the club’s high profile fabric:live mix series and propell himself to the forefront of the london , if not worldwide, electronic music scene. 2008 found the dou of caspa & rusko officially enshrined in the annals of uk pop music with a coveted dj set at the legendary glastonbury festival. don’t miss this dubstep posterboy on chicago ’s heaviest sound system.
