Ahead of our massive 4th Birthday at Scala, we're dropping a huge series of exclusive mixes from some of the biggest DJs on the underground circuit! Following the first banger from Marco Del Horno, this second edition comes from underground bass, and dancehall purveyors, Warrior One!

As a young DJ the man behind the Warrior One moniker, Carl, moved to Brighton in the late nineties and emerged himself in the burgeoning breakbeat culture of the city, DJing and cutting his teeth as a producer. Working in Krafty Kuts' record shop and learning crowd control as a teenage Supercharged resident, Carl began producing a series of remixes for the likes of Quantic (Tru Thoughts) and Pepe Deluxe. Working with talent such as Blak Twang, Carl recorded an LP as one half of Black Grass for Catskills Records. After some dabbling in odd jazz tinged noodles and subsequently lurching towards minimal techno, Carl grew up, moved to the big smoke and is in full flow with his latest incarnation: Warrior One.

Warrior One (a master yoga pose named after a fierce manifestation of the Lord Shiva!) has been fast gathering support from the record buying public and principal tastemakers alike. 2010 saw three EPs released including one for seminal NYC label Mixpak. At radio Annie Mac, Toddla T, Rob Da Bank, and Mista Jam are all fans, with rave reviews coming in from the likes of DJMag, IDJ, & NME. Very much in demand as a remixer, Warrior One delivered no less than sixteen in 2010, including mixes for Foals, Bonobo, Foamo, Husky Rescue, Spark, RackNRuin plus an official remix of Apache and one for Dreadzone!

With a punishing DJ schedule playing at everywhere from Fabric to the Sub Club, to Glastonbury, and flying about to Amsterdam, Dublin, and Brussels, Warrior One is very much in demand as a DJ too. Often appearing with Serocee or Rubi Dan on mic duties.

The Warrior One sound mashes together all our favourite UK bass, electro and dubstep components, with a unique island flavour, twisting shuddering basslines with a distinct dancehall, ragga and bashment twist. After a hell raising set for Urban Nerds in 2010, we're extremely hyped to welcome back Warrior One to the 4th Birthday at Scala, for a very special back to back set with rising London producer, Rack N Ruin!
