About SEED:
Dubstep duo Luke Holden & Terry Jennings aka Seed both hail from the south coast of England. Between them they have years of experience in production/djing and have played in some of the U.K’s largest clubs.
Luke is known for his part as a UK urban outfit Dubwise and also many other releases and remixes within the urban scene for major labels such as Universal (UK & USA) and Atlantic. In 2008, Luke received his first gold disc for his work on a Taio Cruz project and is behind the creation of many of the top selling music production sample packs, some of which are still used today even by a wide range of producers all over the world including Skrillex. Terry has previously studied music technology and honed his skills at Airtight Studios, Chichester (UK) as a trainee sound engineer where he first met Luke. In late 2009 they both decided to get in the studio to collaborate and with completely different ways of producing, the formula seemed to work and Seed was born.
Their first release was a remix on the groundbreaking Drum & Bass label Detail Recordings of Lynx feat Kemo - Keep It Low that received 9.5 out of 10 in DJ Mag and has an amazing music video that still gets regular airplay on SKY Channel U/AKA. Happy with the success of the track, Detail Recordings invited Seed to remix another release (Lynx feat Sense – Rebels) that ended up as the B-side to the original and got rated 4/5 in ATM Magazine and was also used as the backing track for Relentless’ U.K BMX champion and friend Mark Webb.
Not resting on their laurels, their latest outing came via the duo getting huge props from The Wideboys and quickly resulted in them being asked to remix their track Find The Power feat Clare Evers. The result was a track that has destroyed dance floors all over the world, recently appearing on the hugely successful Ministry Of Sound compilation ‘Addicted to Bass’.
Stepping away from the mixing desk for a hot minute, Seed were approached by Panda Amsterdam to do an exclusive guest mix that has been voted the best ever Dubstep mix in their channels history with more than 350,000+ views. Seed are currently working on numerous projects with the likes of MC Fats, Double S, J2K and DJ Lynx including work to be featured on Lynx’s album set to drop in the coming months. With such an array of music waiting to be unleashed, 2011 is set to be a huge year for SEED.
Yes Yes! The second exclusive mix for our FIVE Year Anniversary is here! And we are very happy to being you two of the raising stars of the Dubstep scene – SLEEPER & DISTRICT (Chestplate / UK).
Since having heard their tunes such as “Dungeon Styles” and “Terraformed” on the widely respected Youngsta show on RINSE FM, Kongkretebass has been following the two producers closely.
Sleeper and District began working collaboratively in 2010, coming together to focus on creating their take on the deep and darker side of Dubstep. Now part of the Chestplate Records family, Sleeper and District join the ranks of scene originators Cyrus, Tunnidge and Label owner, Distance.

About SLEEPER & DISTRICT:
Sleeper and District began working collaboratively in 2010, coming together to focus on creating their take on the deep and darker side of dubstep. By the end of 2010, the pair had already gained support and radio play from the likes of Distance and Youngsta with tracks such as ‘Angry Birds’, ‘Dungeon Style’, ‘3.5 Grams’ and ‘GTFO’.
The pair kicked off 2011 with a guest mix on Distance’s Rinse.FM show and shortly after, a debut appearance on Get Darker TV. Sharing influences from Drum and Bass and the early sounds of Dubstep, the duo’s take on minimal, sub frequency heavy rollers show no sign of slowing down.
Currently, Sleeper and District are focusing on developing their sound even further, aiming to adapt and build on the sounds that gained them support in the first place. Now part of the Chestplate Records family, Sleeper and District join the ranks of scene originators Cyrus, Tunnidge and Label owner, Distance. The first release from the two, comes in the form of a solo 12″ from District, featuring the tracks 3.5 grams and Haymaker. Both already having received support from the likes of J:Kenzo, Tunnidge and Jack Sparrow.
