Bristol dubstep mainstay Gemmy has been a key figure in pioneering the city’s electronic music identity since arriving on the scene in 2008. His debut release ‘Bk 2 The Future’ on Peverelist’s legendary Punch Drunk imprint was followed up rapidly with the anthemic ‘Supligen’, released on the equally seminal Planet Mu. He has since released work on numerous respected labels including Tectonic, Bandulu, Soul Jazz and Earwax, as well as forming his own label ‘World Of Wonders’; all showcasing the distinctive purple sound formulated and popularised alongside fellow Bristolian contemporaries Joker and Guido.
Following a short hiatus, Gemmy came back to the scene in late 2021 with the self-released ‘We Still’ where he expertly blended his signature purple sound with the UKG stylings of his youth, recruiting garage legends Kie & Troublesome along with rapper Jaz Kahina on vocal duties. He’s keeping up the pressure moving into 2022 with the imminent release of the ‘Irreversible Culture EP’ (featuring fellow Bristol legend RSD) on Infernal Sounds, and a slew of independently released vocal tracks in the pipeline. Known for his melodic funky, grime- inflected rhythms and punchy sub bass lines, Gemmy has long established his position as one of dubstep’s most influential producers.
