Hey I'm Phetsta. I make music. I don't really check my PM's on here so head over to facebook.com/phetsta.

BIO:

Phetsta burst onto the Drum & Bass scene in 2005 when he signed exclusively to the legendary Simon Bassline Smith's imprint Technique Recordings. The Australian producer quickly carved his own sound within the genre with early releases such as Intergalactic and Blur (Mixmag's tune of the month - May 2006).

In 2007 Phetsta released the acclaimed Congo EP, Knowledge Magazine calling it a "production masterpiece". The four track extended player cracked the top ten on BBC Radio 1's Drum & Bass charts. Phetsta show cased his versatility by slowing things down to 130 bpm for a guest single on Aquasky's label Passenger Recordings.

In 2008 he released From My Eyes, which received significant Radio 1 support from Annie Mac. and held onto a top ten position on Drum 'n' Bass Arena for eight weeks straight. Phetsta also teamed up with fellow Perth based producer Shock One to unleash the award winning (PDMA Track of the Year 2008) single The Sun. The duo also collaborated with London based Metrik on the dance floor tear out True Believer which featured on Shock One's self titled extended player on Viper Recordings.

2009 proved successful again with Phetsta & Shock One's Cyclones gaining day time rotation on Australia's Triple J, including a top three placing on Super Request.

In 2010 Phetsta also undertook several remixes. These included his remix of True Believer on ShockOne's Re-Fix EP on Viper Recordings. It stormed all of the major download charts and was even featured on Pendulum's Radio 1 Essential Mix. He also set to work on his second long player, The Prism EP.

The Prism EP was released in february 2011. With a keen eye for the dance floor and production levels that are second to none, The Prism EP delivered across the BPM’s, serving up full-throttle drum & bass alongside some gorgeous dubstep excursions. In particular it was his dubstep collaboration with Mad Decent's Reija Lee which garnered a lot of attention. The day it was released on youtube it was the 6th most viewed music video and 40th most viewed video overall. With almost half a million hits it went on to take out the top spot on trackitdown's dubstep chart and a top 3 placing on beatport, where it remained in the top 10 for two months. With support from the likes of Pendulum, Richard Kingsmill, Skream & Benga, Rusko, Zane Lowe and Annie Mac, The Prism EP is one of the essential broken beat releases of 2011.
