Bristol’s Cheeba is a name that has been ringing out across UK dance floors for the last 12 months. Fusing unrivalled technical ability with an ear for music squarely aimed at the dance floor, his is a style all of his own and for all of us at the same time. As part of the renowned Bristol based crew the Detectives of Perspective, he is a resident DJ with Ninja Tune’s Solid Steel club nights and more recently Soundcrash. Frequently rubbing shoulders with some of the biggest names in alternative beats and hip hop, he has out shone them at every opportunity and cemented himself as one of the most popular DJs to emerge from the Solid Steel stable in some time. This was confirmed in 2007 when the label and the Solid Steel radio show listeners voted him runner up in the ‘Mix Of The Year’ poll and then in 2008 won it with his widely acclaimed mix 'Cheeba Investigates... 'The Case of The Missing Records'. Check out his award winning mixes in the 'Sounds Like' section below and prepare for mindmelt! In 2008, as part of Ninja Tune’s 20th Anniversary celebrations Cheeba was officially inaugurated into the Solid Steel family alongside Boom Monk Ben and Mone$hot to join the already outstanding team of Strictly Kev (DJ Food), DK, Coldcut and J-Mountain.
Cheeba has been found in clubs and at festivals across UK, whipping party people into a frenzy with his genre smashing freestyle DJ sets. Fusing neck snapping beats and breaks, underground dance floor gems and stone cold party classics into a melting pot of hip hop trickery and dance floor devistation, Cheeba has been the highlight of many at Big Chill 2008, Glastonbury, Bristol Festival and the best clubs up and down the country and will no doubt be the highlight of many more to come.
Cheeba has now also gone all AV too, after nearly 6 months in the making the audio-visual show is now live. Using the latest technology to enable video controlled and manipulated by vinyl the live shows make the most of this technogoly scratching everything from The Muppets to Aphex Twin and everything inbetween. Films made by Cheeba and James Reed (ex-audio bullies vj) sit cunningly along side video mashups, cartoons and a wealth of other bizzare yet wonderful video sources. Coming to a projector near you very soon. Your eyes wont believe your ears, keep them both peeled!
"Cheeba's attention to musical detail is as meticulous as his cuts, he leaves no stone or style unturned in his search" - DJ Food

"Cheeba is the sound and sight of Solid Steel's new school. Having won the 'Mix of The Year' award in 2008 and been a regular guest for Soundcrash over the last 12 months Cheeba's ability to rock a party is unrivaled. Now bringing visuals into the mix, this new show will twist sight and sound into a blend of beats and breaks cut with visual material from the far reaches of moving image history. Expect the unexpected... your eyes wont believe your ears, keep them both peeled!" - Soundcrash
Yo Cheeba (Solid Steel)asaurus. I just found out that we're related...and as a special family only present we've made a new song for you called "End of Days" (start doing backflips now). It's an epic instrumental opus to the moment when our ancient Dino relatives saw a large fiery object plummeting towards them. Please come to our page, give it a listen and let us know if it makes you feel like something catastrophic is gonna happen. If the song upsets you too much we will be holding several s support groups (read: comcerts) in the near future. Check our page for locations, dates and times.
Cheeba, A phenomenal and utterly unique event is to be held aboard The John Sebastian Lightship, moored in Bathurst Basin.

Recognised a drunken sailor in a Stones Throw t shirt trying to dance to dnb amidst a sea of chaos :) hands down the most fun I've had at sea!
The new project is sick mate. Looking forward to seeing it go down live.
