Part 2 is UK urban music�s best-kept secret. In a production career spanning the best part of a decade, he has been consistently ahead of the game, many of his innovations pre-figuring the current Black Music renaissance in this country.

As producer for New Flesh he has been described as �a master of a variety of styles� (Sunday Times Culture), �the sound of the UK underground at its most sublime� (The Face) and an �unassailable� producer (DJ), been praised for his �dizzying invention� (Jockey Slut), �more than a match for his US counterparts� (Music Week), �as English as roast beef, as modern as X-Box� (Muzik), and �one of the best that hip-hop in the UK has to offer� (Touch.)

In addition, Part 2 has remixed and produced for a range of artists including Roots Manuva, Ty, Serge Gainsbourg, Trilok Gurtu, Wu-Tang�s Killah Priest and Saul Williams.

But perhaps he has suffered from being a backroom boy, the quiet man behind the sound desk. All of which is about to change. Because, although �Live From The Breadline� features a fantastic line-up of vocalists including Fallacy, LSK, Sandra Melody (of �Diplo Rhythm� fame), fellow New Fleshniks Juice Aleem and Toastie Tailor and Lotek, the heart of the record lies firmly in the beats.

Utterly contemporary, raw and streetwise, Part 2 has also developed a sound which encompasses the last twenty years of Black British Music, develops it, warps it to fit his own preoccupations and spits out a new blueprint for the next twenty. With warmth, humour and soulfulness as well as a feel for the harsh, avant garde sonics of grime, Part 2 has made p.......
