Ministry of Sound presents Society with ToddlaT & Zed Bias

Society is the UK’s leading student event, bringing the biggest names in house and bass music to the biggest and best venues all over the country. Presented by the world famous ministry of sound, its reputation as one of the best parties in the country has made it an unmissable experience in each and every city it arrives at.

TODDLA T https://soundcloud.com/toddla_t

Hailing from Sheffield, producer and Radio 1 DJ Toddla T is one of the UK's most original talents with 3 albums, numerous EPs and remixes for the likes of Little Dragon, Major Lazer and Hot Chip under his belt. With the launch of his label Girls Music via Ninja Tune, a new mixtape on the way with Protoje and other diverse projects in progress, his production career shows no signs of slowing.

Heavily influenced by music and culture from around the World, Toddla's sound is individually British, drawing heavy influence from reggae and dancehall, Sheffield's electronic scene and the essence of soul and RnB.

He has an ever growing presence throughout the UK and beyond with his curated 'Toddla T Takeover' shows and DJ sets. He has a successful quarterly residency at London's XOYO, a sound system at Notting Hill Carnival and is a regular at the key festivals in the UK and across Europe. From one end of the globe to another, Toddla is known for playing at the pioneering Kabal night in Sheffield to regular visits to Jamaica where he also produces and scouts new talent to work with. Not many DJs, if any, can say they have played for Defected in Ibiza as well as Stone Love's Weddy Weddy street party in Kingston.

ZED BIAS https://soundcloud.com/zedbiasakamaddslinky

UKG stalwart, broken beat fanatic, dub connoisseur. His pseudonyms include Zed Bias, Phuturistix, Funk Bias, Daluq, Talissman, Ruffcut Bias, Nu Design, 7 Wonders, Almighty Beatfreakz, Dekata Project – just some of the names Maddslinky, aka Dave Jones, has recorded under in the last 14 years as himself or in collaboration with others.

He is cited as one of the pioneers of breakbeat garage but is always moving with – or ahead of – the times and his recent productions still grace the playlists of Radio 1 DJs Annie Mac, Benji B, Nick Grimshaw, Gilles Peterson and Mista Jam, as well as into the record boxes of DJ / producers like Toddla T, Loefah, Skream, Pearson Sound, Oneman, Julio Bashmore, Kode 9 and Martyn.

The first Maddslinky album, ‘Make Your Peace’, dropped in 2002 featured collaborations with Will White (Propellerheads), Kaidi Tatham (Bugz in the attic), Luca Roccatagliati (Ajello/Daluq), Kevin Robinson, Kayo, Juiceman and Simba. In 2010 we saw the release of 'Make a Change', the long-awaited follow up LP with collaborators including Skream, Mr Scruff, Omar, Mighty Moe, Ghost1, Jenna G and many more. On the same day as the new album release, Tru Thoughts made available the seminal ‘Make Your Peace’ which, despite not being given a widespread release, played a large role in the creation of dubstep. This re-release boasts bonus tracks and new and incisive sleeve notes by Martin Clark aka Blackdown, with quotes from Skream citing the album as a major influence on him.
