In the United Kingdom, producer Memtrix, whose real name is Oscar Rawlinson, makes drum and bass and says he came to the genre by chance. Rawlinson also sings, plays guitar and other instruments, and has explored incorporating live performance into his music. Memtrix’s first recorded event was in 2012, and London is the region where he has played most often; Cable London is his most-played club there. That year, he released the single YSRD004 on Yellow Stripe Recordings.
In 2015, Memtrix collaborated with Spor on the single Darkest Hours / Super Trace, released through Sotto Voce and Lifted Music. He also worked with Koven on Pessimist, which appeared on Viper Recordings’ Decade Of Viper compilation. His EP Towers came out on Spor’s Sotto Voce label. Memtrix released the Viper Recordings singles Of the Ice / Blood Run and Dare Me / Oxidate. His Voodoo EP combined energetic drum and bass with guitar and vocals, reflecting his wider musical influences.
In 2017, Memtrix released the single Teeth and Turn / Concrete on Memtrix Music, followed by Sunkenspace on Sotto Voce. In 2018, he released Out of Place, a collaboration with Joe Ford, through Shogun Audio, and put out the single Blind in Light on Monstercat.
