UK GARAGE AND GRIME DJ, PRODUCER, PROMOTER

Dubbed by URB Magazine one of "...five of the most promising up-and-coming (UK Garage) producers here at home", with two successful releases on vinyl and seven mixes gaining him exposure in other top music publications including, XLR8R, Mixer, Deuce, and Undercover, G Notorious has been pushing the sounds of UK Underground Garage and more recently, Grime in the United States since 2000.

In Boston, G Notorious ran three consecutive weekly club nights; DYNAMITE, LIVELY, and RUNNIN. Collectively lasting over a year and a half, the three nights exposed thousands of club-goers to the sounds of UK 2-Step and 4x4 Garage and built a dedicated local following for the music.

As a DJ, G Notorious contrasts soulful elements with rugged beats and heavy bass. He plays with a bias toward Reggae and Hip-Hop style vocals but represents the entire spectrum of sounds within Underground Garage from bumpy 4x4 to 2-Step, dubwise sounds to Bassline House / Speed Garage to full-on Grime. A typical live set includes cutting edge promos, classic anthems, and unreleased dubplates. While it lasted, G Notorious was a member of the Push It Promotions Record Pool, serviced by Red Rose Recordings and Unit 5 among other labels. More recently he was chosen among the top 30 UK Garage DJ's in North America to be a member of the RINSE IT record pool. He has also written Garage record reviews for XLR8R and SoulChampion.com.

With his particular take on the UK Garage and Grime sounds, G Notorious has regularly rocked dancefloors all over New England and New York. In the spring of 2004 he played at TRANSATLANTIC 3, the only UK Garage and Grime event at the annual Winter Music Conference in Miami, Florida. G Notorious, also represented Boston at the first annual GARAGE CONFERENCE in Dallas, Texas in the summer of 2004.

As well as his releases on vinyl, two of G Notorious' Garage tracks and one he wrote in collaboration with DeepSix from Toronto, Canada, as GeeSixCru, were featured on URBAN RENEWAL RECORDS "TRANSATLANTIC BASS" compilation CD. Despite the lack of solid distribution or a sizeable buying audience for the music in the United States, his original Garage and Grime material has received critical acclaim from DJs and press on both sides of the Atlantic as several of his unreleased productions have been rinsed on UK pirate radio and charted by various DJs over the years.

G Notorious also built and runs this web site, SoulChampion.com, the home of UK Underground Garage and Grime in the United States and Canada. SoulChampion provides a public outlet for information about the music and the SoulChampion Crew but most importantly hosts the world's largest collection of North American produced original Underground Garage and Grime music. Since January 2005 the site's scope has begun to grow to encompass the overall US and Canadian Garage and Grime scenes and to provide a bridge of communication between the heavy hitters in the US, Canadian, and UK scenes.
