DJ Chef

Subtle promotions is proud to bring one of the pioneering dj’s of the Dubstep sound, rinse.fm’s seamless selector, deep sub bass line roller, South London O.G Allstar DJ CHEF.
23 years young Chefal aka Chef, hailing from the home of Dubstep, Croydon, South London. A master of the mix Chefal has been hosting a weekly Radio Show on London’s leading Rinse Fm (12 years on air) for the last 4 years. When Chefal isn’t playing the latest dubs at raves he’s busy making them @ Transition Studios, while training to become a Mastering Engineer and managing the mighty Ringo Records!!
From his early secondary school days, Chefal was spending all his pocket and dinner money on the latest Jungle down at Big Apple on a Friday. He grew up listening to stations like Kool Fm, Weekend Rush, Rinse, Upfront, and London Underground etc while playing Mario and Streetfighter in his bedroom.
Chefal Started listening to and buying House n Garage around 1997, when it got darker and more bass line influenced but still kept up to date with the Jungle and D’n'B until bout 2002. Cefol’s sound that he’s pushing FWD>> foremost is Dub step and the best based out Grimy beats. ”For me it’s the bass line that makes me feel a tune”, .
Chefal hooked up with Benga and Skream 8 or so years back through Big Apple Records (Croydon) and has been the main DJ in the crew, Smooth Kriminals since so Benga and Skream could concentrate on the production side of things but watch out for some beats from Chefal soon. Chefal rinses out the freshet dubz first from everybody who’s sound he’s feeling including… Benga and Skream, Digital Mystikz, Loefah, L.D, Plastician, Cyrus, Tubby, N-Type, Conquest and Silkie, Walsh, Martyn, Burial, Kode 9, Clue Kid and Cotti, Pinch, Jakes, Kutz, Joker, Distance, Hijak, Kromestar etc to name a few.
Chefal’s upfront selection and skills on the decks have led to him djing around the World. Over the last year Chef has been spreading the Dubstep virus through out the UK and Europe to all around the world such as Seattle and LA in America. This will be Chef’s first journey down under to the pacific for a exclusive N.Z Tour to show his perspective on the highly addictive sound.
