Dubstep pioneer Maddslinky - aka Zed Bias - is back, and he's signed to Tru Thoughts to release his new album, `Make A Change' on October 26th, with a stellar list of collaborators including man of the hour Skream (who cites Maddslinky's early work as a major inspiration) plus Mr Scruff, Tawiah, Jenna G, Ghost 1, Mighty Moe, Nile Sugar, and of course Omar, who lends his world-famous vocal talents to the lead single, "Special". As well as lead vocals from veritable UK soul luminary Omar (who has previously worked with Stevie Wonder and Estelle among others), the "Special" single, out in September, boasts remixes by MJ Cole, Toddla T, Chimpo, At Jazz and Simbad and is already earmarked for the lead review spot in many dance music publications. Always moving with (or more often ahead of) the times, breaking boundaries and filling dancefloors, the man behind the Maddslinky moniker has had a string of successes under various aliases, including Zed Bias, Phuturistix and Ruffcut Bias; his Zed Bias productions have had particularly notable success, with support from BBC Radio 1's Zane Lowe, Annie Mac and Pete Tong. He hit the UK Top 40 in 2000 with the single "Neighbourhood", now widely regarded as one of the all time classic UK garage tracks - so much so that with the recent resurgence in the 2-step sound in the UK club scene it was rereleased last year with a remix from Roska that fully redefined its importance to a younger generation of clubbers.
