Their sound has been described as one of the most authentic representations of British inner city music since Soul2Soul’s club classics.
......................................Since 2003 years, The Insomniax (Stress, DSV & Kai Gama) have been the underground black music scene’s best kept secret, having produced for a wide range of artists from top UK grime MC’s, international spoken word artists, r&b vocalists, and even Hollywood actors.
................................DSV & Stress met at Kingston college, where they were enrolled on the same sound engineering course. They immediately struck up a musical kinship, and ended up doing a studio internship at independent record label Trinity Records. It was here that they started working with Kaigama, who already worked at the label.
..................................The trio's nocturnal studio habits led to them receiving the knick-name that they would eventually turn in to a byword for quality yet edgy UK urban music.
..............................................The Insomniax sound combines Hip Hop sampling techniques, with live guitars and electronic instrumentation. Their songs are vivid snapshots of the full reality of UK inner-city life, not just the narrow negative stereotypes that usually get airplay.
..........................Within their capacity as producers they have worked with the cream of London’s spoken word scene; - Artists that they have collaborated with include: TuggSTAR, Carl Ramsey, and The Beyonder, who are all national SLAM poetry winners.
................................They have also produced futuristic backing tracks for East London’s grime fraternity including J2K, Demon, Doctor, and Fumin.
Their current projects include an album with Roses Gabor (Gorillaz), and Hollywood actor Idris Elba (The Wire, 28 weeks later, American Gangster),
..............................In 2008 The Insomniax released their debut project, The Green Cross Code ep, which was a stunning six track mini-album was a groundbreaking take on modern urban music. It fused electronica with live guitars, hard drum programming and crystal clear song-writing.
....................It serves as an introduction to the world of The Insomniax with subject matter as diverse as; the nanny state, overcoming youthful apathy, and going clubbing without being able to pull.

Review: "Don Goliath's "Bagstep EP" (DDR030) is one of those innovative EPs showcasing how versatile Dubstep can get. The unique idea of creating Dubstep versions of celctic (Irish as well as Scottish) folk classics for all you drunkards longing to sing along was Don Goliath's motto when producing this madness. The concept is as simple as effective: he picked 4 of your grandpa's favourites such as "Old Skibbereen", "Scotland the Brave", "Drunken Sailor" and "Amazing Grace" having the melody played by a definitly non-sober Bagpipe section and then layering it with lofi mid range wobbleism - we therefor call it Bagstep. Overall production quality is high grade with that intense sub focus so you can blow-dry your hair right in front of the bass bins. Now let's get into the tunes: "Skibbereen Bagstep" is one of the melancolic minor tunes expressing Irish history as it is. It is an unmixable 3/4 waltz beat at unusual 154bpm, well dancebal though when one moves to the triplets. "Bagstep the brave" should be one of the sickest rebuilds of the Scottish national anthem making it Mel Gibson's signature tune if he had one. "Drunken Bagstep" is a Glitchfest version of the sailors anthem capable of getting you uberdrunk by listening alone, Arrrr! "Amazing Bagstep" is as religious as it gets making it a tune that'll certainly safe xamounts of lost souls. Enjoying the dancefloor got even easier now: drink out the bar, make your skirt fly and sing along to these (future) classics! Some will hate this release and some will love it, there barely is anything in between. All Dubstep Division crew salutes the latter as our fellow beerheadz! cheeeeeerz!"
