Caspa

Hailing from West London under the birth name Gary McCann and also recording as Quiet Storm, Caspa established himself as a pivotal force in the dubstep scene through his own work and by launching the influential imprints Storming Productions along with its offshoots Dub Police and Sub Soldiers. Early exposure to drum'n'bass prompted him to begin DJing, which ultimately led to the creation of Storming Productions in 2004 and the later addition of those subsidiary labels. His production debut arrived in 2006 on Dub Police via the three-track 12" EP For the Kids, after which he inaugurated Sub Soldiers the next year with the double-12" release Ave It, Vol. 1. In 2007 he joined fellow dubstep DJ/producer Rusko for the high-profile mix album FabricLive.37; billed to Caspa & Rusko and notably the first dubstep entry in the long-running series, the album stood as something of a milestone for the fledgling British style. The following year Caspa & Rusko delivered a DJ set at the 2008 Glastonbury Festival.
