BiggaBush has a whole raft of production credits to his name, starting with all the Rockers Hi Fi releases and remixes and including Sly & Robbie, Earl Zinger, Boozoo Bajou, Dawn Penn, Tosca, Bob Marley & the Wailers, Shantel, Swayzak, Benjamin Zepheniah, Ella Fitzgerald and creating a sizeable body of work with more than a passing nod to the influence of dub, 70s style.
Since the beginning of this century he has worked on two main projects, Lightning Head ("Studio Don" on Sonar Kollektiv) and BiggaBush ("BiggaBush Free" and "Sound Sensation" on Stereo Deluxe). These have established him as a unique and individual producer with an ear for deep melodic basslines, quirky sounds and polyrhythmic grooves, often with a strong latin or Brazilian influence.

Hey Glyn hows it going hope you are well . Myself and family are doing good I'm still trying to fit in plenty of music between work and kids!! Any way speak to you soon
I know...I'm such a sickly weakling...I can not believe I missed the show that way!! I even took off work to try and get better, but to no avail. I spoke with Jason about the show and he said you totally killed it tunes-wise and were such a gracious and groovy artist to chat with. My sincerest apologies for my absence Bigga!!
Really feelin the new tracks Bigga - right on!! Can't wait for the new LP...or the show you'll no doubt be playing in SD some time soon...hint hint, wink wink, nudge nudge.
