Cotti started out making garage/grime around 1999, then in 2005 he met up with DJ Chef who introduced him to the dubstep sound. Following on from this, Cotti and Cluekid met up with Loafah (dmz) who showed them more of an insight on making & exploring the dubstep sound, which helped them to really get involved in the emerging dubstep scene.
