The latest addition to the Emcee roster is Voyage, a DnB veteran who also cut his teeth presenting shows on pirate radio stations such as Underground FM back when Jungle first emerged in the early 90’s.
A man with a deep, wide-ranging taste in music, Voyage has always been drawn to the darker, more experimental side of Drum and Bass. He cites artists like Photek and labels such as Metalheadz, Virus and Renegade Hardware as major sources of inspiration, and back in his pirate radio days, he used to produce, cut and play his own dub plates during his shows.
After years of carving out his sound, Voyage has perfected his technique by drawing from both the present and the past in order to create a new and original sound.
“My sound is deep and complex. The tunes I'm working on for Emcee Recordings are best described as abstract and metaphysical. I never work the same way twice so prepare for something different! “
