Not long after sparking his DJ career, his interests in production grew stronger and work in the studio began.
2007 was the year things started to payoff.

More recently, Andy C included 'Valium Express' on the 12/07 Mixmag 'Drum & Bass Babylon' cover mix CD, reaching an audience of more than 40,000 fans worldwide.
In early 2008 another collaboration with Dose, 'Trigger Happy' was released on the diverse UK label Revolution Recordings.
'Rise & Fall', another collab with Teknik was released as the sampler for the Renegade Hardware 'Babylon LP'.
'Quicksand' in conjunction with Psidream, Dose & Teknik, dropped on Psidream & Pacific's Nightfall Recordings.
