Stormfield / Combat A/V
The boss behind Combat Recordings, Stormfield DJs, produces and performs audio-visual live sets at various parties, and also runs the regular Riddim’n‘Bruise radio show on Sub FM.

A DJ with 15 years of gigs under his belt, his sonic influences started via the early strains of electronica and abstract techno like LFO, Aphex Twin, Black Dog, Autechre then through the early junglism of Photek and Source Direct, and later carrying these influences proudly through other forms of music like electro, dubstep and hard breakage. Later exposure to the works of Scorn and a 4-year stint living near Brixton’s colossal dub soundsystems left him with a pathological need for chest-rushing basslines. The Stormfield sound could be described at the result of dark, fierce and strange noises getting absorbed, chopped up, mutilated and spat back out again in dancefloor form, what he loosely calls “fierce bassbin electronics”.

2010 sees him bringing together the label’s visual and sonic elements in the form of Combat A.V., a fluid live dancefloor-rocking audio visual performance that’s already been showcased at Plex, REC Fest (Spain) and alongside Jesu at the Future Everything Fest (Manchester).
