Roni Size’s whole life has been about building something new from whatever was around him. From Bristol youthclub parties, through the white heat of rave and the founding moments of jungle and drum’n’bass, to transforming underground electronic music into something that could be played by a live band on the biggest arena and festival stages, he has at each stage created completely afresh – not just a sound or style but an entire methodology of how music can be made.
20-years ago, The Mercury Prize win for his ‘New Forms’ album brought D’n’B to the forefront of dance-music, making the rest of the industry – where reactions had up until that point been bemused – sit up and pay attention.
The anniversary re-release of New Forms garnered huge support across digital and print media as well as on radio. With premieres from MixMag, rave reviews and coverage by NME, Fact, DJ Mag, and many others along with multiple plays on BBC Radio 1 and BBC Radio 1 Xtra, Roni cemented his position at the top of the game.
The man from Bristol shows no signs of slowing down, as he continues to be in high demand with the world’s best festivals and events.
