DRESSLA --------------------------------------
Dressla got hooked on bass in the UK, where he lived from 2004 to 2006. Inspired
by the vibrant Soundsystem culture he and some friends started building the 14k
heavy Sequoia Soundsystem in order to run independent raves and free parties
across northern England. As DeeJay in both meanings - the Jamaican as well as
the European - he hosted many dances and drew much of his inspiration from the
Yardies he toasted with.
Soon after he moved to Leipzig, he met Rootah and disrupt at a local dance.
Thrilled by the Digital Laptop Reggae they played, he grabbed the Mic to chat
over their riddims. This was the beginning of a partnership that took the team,
now known as the Jahtari Riddim Force, to many places across the UK and Europe.
Of those highly memorable sets some have luckily been captured on cassette and
can be heard and downloaded in the Tapes section HERE.
Coming from a Hip Hop background, Dressla is also active in many different genres
and cooperates with various Artists across Europe. As Instruktah D he has voiced
the rise of Dubstep in Germoney and hosted nights with the likes of DMZ, Pinch,
Kromestar, Vex'd, Jazzsteppa, Wadadda, Mungos Hifi, LD, Phokus and Mr. Boogie to
name just a few.
Dressla's homebase is Freestyle, he learned his skills in countless live sessions
and only recently he started to properly use pen and paper, work on tracks in
detail and record them in the studio. That's why after more than 10 years of
MCing, "Bomb Their Cirlces" (JTR NET 19) is his first track ever to be released.
