.. Frank Siccardi started spinning in the 80s, playing Reggae, Dub, Acid Jazz and World Music. By the end of the 90s Drum’n’Bass became his favourite mixing music style. He soon moved on to play also House and Broken Beats. As a label manager, Frank founded two of the most interesting House labels to come out of Italy in the 90s: first Reform and then Reshape, tha latter responsible among other things for a series of remixes of classics from the Salsoul catalogue, long before the current revivalism on that label! Around the turn of century Frank, together with Enrico ‘Volcov’ Crivellaro, founded two of the best Italian electronic labels to date: Sonica (first Italian D’n’B label active from 1998 until 2000, it released material by Digital, Matrix, Sonar Circle, Paradox, Alpha Omega, Q Project and Volcov) and Archive, still one of the most exciting and innovative labels around, now run by Volcov on his own. In 2001 Frank joined Irma Records and created the Head To Toe imprint, dedicated to Broken Beats. The label has released material by international artists such as Atjazz, Catalyst (aka Alex Attias), Opaque (aka Seiji), Riton, Nubian Mindz, G-Force (Bugz In The Attic), Alex Phountzi (Bugz In The Attic), Yukihiro Fukutomi, Total Science, Sonar Circle (aka Domu), Cuica, Maddslinky (aka Zed Bias) and many more, always with a great response from media and public. Head To Toe also released in Japan a compilation titled ‘Footprints’. On Irma’s Cuadra imprint Frank S has selected Jungle Jazz 5 in 2001 and the four volumes of the Sambass series (dedicated to Brazilian Drum’n’Bass). Sambass 1 was released in 2003 and was one of the most successful Irma releases that year. Sambass 2 was released in 2004 and followed the footsteps of the first volume. Sambass 3 was released in early 2006 as a 2CD canvas covered box set, including 11 exclusive cuts by names like DJ Patife and Drumagick, just to name a couple. Sambass 4 was released in 2007 and featured more exclusive and unreleased tunes.

Artist: De Niro – Mother Inc.- Numa Crew - Maurs Title: The Dub Box Vol.2 Label: Dbox records Format: Digital Cat n°: DBX007
The Dub Box Vol.2 consists of 4 Dubstep tracks that highlight the strong personality of artists; different to each other but united by a great sound impact and hypnotic sequences as in "Misstech", a perfect example of technodub, with rhythmic beat, perfect for the dancefloor or Liberation a track of absolute quality with very strong bass and broken rhythm. Mother Inc.’s Infinity moves instead in an very electro-melodic atmosphere with an excellent arrangement and Numa Crew while we face the sounds and rhythms of more classical dubstep sound.
The Dub Box vol.2 is another important piece in the growth of dubstep scene in Italy: in this release strength and originality are seen at their best!
