If the drum and bass DJs Olympics were happening, Friction, based in Brighton, would certainly be one of the possible winners. He began playing and managing events in 1998. In a few years, thanks to the collaboration with the right people, he jumped to the very top of drum and bass, which confirms many awards. In 2004 he founded a label Shogun Audio, which releases such famous names as Noisia, Commix, or Teebee.
