With seventeen years of professional music experience, Toby Davies began producing three years ago, making dub and drum and bass with Dom Ruckspin, Ed Quark and Harry Evergreen. Two years ago he set up Ranking Records with Harry Evergreen, and to date the label has a string of eight single releases and two E.P's, with a Ranking album and another single in the pipeline. Planas/Landlord has had production credits on the vast majority of these releases, usually in collaboration with Ruckspin, Quark, Evergreen & Quantum Soul. His tunes have been played on Radio 1, Radio 1Xtra, BBC Asian Network, Rinse FM, Sub Fm and countless international underground radio stations
Other projects include playing bass and writing/arranging for Gentleman's Dub Club, producing with hip hop duo SeeMore Productions under the 'Tarqwin Smythe' guise, and playing bass guitar for hip hop band, The Uber.
Djing Dubstep under 'Planas' and dub under 'Landlord', he has supported such artists as:
big up'd 'Nature of It' whilst forgetting probably one of my other favorite dubstep tunes 'Winds Of Change'
mad contrast for heavier tunes whilst mixing and a musical touch that you and your co-producers seem to achieve unlike so many generic , over produced grime and dubstep tracks but assloads of producer folk.
Everything is pleasing to the senses around here!! BIG ups! Keep doin' what ya love!!!
