With their style sitting comfortably between the filthiest side of Dubstep made popular by producers such as Chasing Shadows, and the more upbeat/ jump up style heard from artists such as Funtcase, their tunes have become an essential part of DJ sets from many of the scenes biggest names.
When reviewing Document One’s first release, well known producer Tomba said “as Filthy as it comes, Phasing wobbles stretching the stereo limit and modulations that’ll make you throw up – all that accompanied by a wicked MC – making this tune one of the best filthy, yet hit-mainstream-material I’ve heard in the past 6 months”.
Document One are not just about a beat and a bass line, their creations are rich in harmonic and melodic content you would not always expect from a dance music genre. This results in a sound accessible to those interested in all musical styles regardless of whether or not they are familiar with Dubstep.
Releases from Document One include recent double A ‘Sonic Manipulator and Petty Cash’ “a sure-fire dance floor killa” (Drop n Roll) which featured highly in the Dubstep Beatport chart, as well as their remix of Beat n Bang’s ‘Hunger’ “Document One mix is murderous 9/10” (Bomb Boutique). The duo have forthcoming releases on Neodubz, Recreational riot and Buygore featuring the remix of title track “forgive me” by veteran DnB producer ‘Heist’ which has received air play from 1 xtra and Radio 1 and has been described by Rusko as “a very special tune”. Document One have remixes forthcoming for labels such as EX7 and Buygore and artists such as Marco del Horno, Mishal Moore, Alf Tumble, Skepta and N Dubz .
Document One’s DJ sets are packed full of dubs alongside the scene’s most popular anthems. The crowd always leave the dance floor with cravings for their favourite tunes satisfied
whilst receiving an earful of what is to come from artists across the Dubstep board. Document One have played out in virtually every major city alongside virtually every major DJ within the genre, as well as sets on a range of radio stations and Getdarker TV.
With their career moving at an ever increasing pace, 2011 looks set to be a very big year for Dubstep’s “new kids on the block” (Borgore).
