Surefire Sound Presents:
Ramadanman/Pearson Sound + Zed Bias aka Maddslinky Announce North American Tour
In anticipation of David Kennedy's FabricLive 56 mix, Ramadanman and Maddslinky hit the road with their future sounds and take North American acts like Salva, Distal, Moldy, DJG, and XI along the way.

RAMADANMAN / PEARSON SOUND:
David Kennedy's work as Ramadanman and Pearson Sound has been a positive scourge on the airwaves this past year. His current deviation from any kind of conventional 'dubstep' template hasn't come as a shock for anyone who's been following his career from the start - he's always had a particular slant and a percussively textured style all of his own that's often layered with thick and potent bass frequencies and synth washes - but it seems like with recent material like 'Work Them' (released on Loefah's Swamp81 imprint) Kennedy is simply toying with the world's expectations of him.

ZED BIAS / MADDSLINKY:
In winter 2010, Maddslinky was chosen to co-host BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra's Dubstep Takeover night with Mista Jam - testament to his status as one of the godfathers of the scene. He was also heavily referenced in the same station's two-part 'Story Of Dubstep' documentary.

January 2011 brought the second single from 'Make A Change'; "Further Away" featuring Tawiah was finally released in its own right, with a cutting-edge stash of remixes by Falty DL, Hint, Illum Sphere and more, gaining fantastic reviews and more high profile radio play.

If Maddslinky is the deeper side of Dave Jones' musical mind then Zed Bias is the out and out club music; music MADE for dancing. Ragga and breakbeat infused garage hooks and infectious bassline rhythms combine to make the finest and most cutting edge UK club music. Continuing a flourishing partnership, Jones has now signed his Zed Bias alias to Tru Thoughts, and the new album, to be released mid 2011, will feature collaborations with Skream and Warp Records Mark Pritchard, aka Harmonic 313, aka one half of Africa Hi-Tek - plus exclusive artwork by Boo Cook of 2000AD/Judge Dredd/Marvel Comics fame.
