Zinc was one of the first drum & bass producers to break the sound barrier – that is, to start producing tracks at tempos below 170 bpm. From UK garage to crack house, Zinc’s productions range across the musical map, but unite under the banner of bass and breaks. Not forgetting, of course, his legendary hits for labels like Ganja, True Playaz, and his own Bingo Beats. Ben Zinc explains his work, from pirate radio and exclusive VIPs to sampling and songwriting… and why major labels suck.
