Vienna-based DJ & producer IZC is at the forefront of a lively Central-European dubstep-scene. His very unique take on dubstep is strongly influenced by his deep-rooted enthusiasm for dub-reggae and west-african sounds as well as for 2step-garage and techno.

While IZC’s sound is clearly targeting the dancefloor, he’s not trying to rely too heavily on the obvious crowd-pleasing techniques of the genre. Beyond forward-pushing skanks and a heavy subbass foundation his tracks take the listener on a journey through the darkness of the club, provoking spatial imagination of sound and light.

Headlining several dubstep events in cities such as Berlin, Bratislava or Budapest throughout 2007 and 2008 underpinned his reputation as a versatile DJ. In his weekly radio-show on Sub FM, the emphasis on dubstep is seconded by regular excursions to historically related music-genres, and unreleased music by fresh talent is strongly supported.

IZC’s own tunes enjoy support from DJs across different genres, including the likes of 2Krazy (Freakcamp, Berlin), Blackdown & Dusk (Rinse FM, London), Bleed (De:bug, Berlin), Boomnoise & Pokes (Sub FM/DMZ, London), Bunzer0 (Sub FM, Brussels), Patrick Pulsinger (Disko-B, Vienna), Reso (Urban Graffiti, London) or TRG (Hotflush/Hessle/Immerse, Bucharest). His debut »Sand« published in 2008 on his own Dubsquare-imprint, was recommended by Berlin’s legendary Hardwax Recordstore as »different styled & tricky grooving dubstep - TIP!«, while De:bug Magazine wrote about »four perfect track beyond genres«.
