A veteran of the dubstep scene since it’s inception in early 2003, you couldn’t get better credentials for being a dubstep legend than Cyrus. Born and raised in the home of dubstep, Croydon (UK), home to fellow pioneers Skream, Benny Ill and Benga. Indeed his story is almost identikit to his peers; DJ’ing drum & bass and then garage, honing his skills on pirate radio and local club residencies, the then 18-year-old got hooked on making music and had early success with Way We Do It drawing major label interest. From there, Cyrus decided to shun the expensive professional route realizing he could get his own unique sound with a DIY set up.

In 2003/2004 with limited places to release his dark, brooding, boundary pushing take on UK Garage, Cyrus started his Random Trio Production imprint and launched the Lost City EP, a track Hyperdub head honcho, Kode9, battered at dubstep institution Forward. Having found a sound he could call his own, Cyrus’s perseverance paid off landing a regular slot on legendary pirate Rinse FM in 2004, and alongside Hatcha and Kode9, was one of the only DJ pushing the dubstep sound. Perfectly placed, there was no shortage of interest in his sound. Cyrus’s brutally minimalistic, hypnotic and cavernous sound is beautifully captured on his critically acclaimed album “From the Shadows” on Pinch’s Tectonic label. Further releases with Six6Six, 3.5, DubWar and Immigrant Recordings (now Imminent Recordings) have helped to cement his reputation as a key producer.
