We caught up with G-man to get his end of the story on his latest release on MANCHESTER DUBSTEP label “SUBSONIK RECORDS”
EXAMPLE… So G-man your based in Holland, how did your release with Subsonik in Manchester come about?
G-MAN… Ive known subliminal for three years now, he contacted me on Myspace about my tunes asking if he could have them to play on his radio show because he was feeling them, he didnt have the label then so i kept on giving him tunes now and then, then when he started the label and asked me if i wanted to release on his label, so we had known each other for a while already.
EXAMPLE… Subz 005 “Dont Be Afraid” your first vinyl release?
G-MAN… No, I did some tunes back in the garage days and later i releasd an EP on “Black Ops”, a big label in the grime days, I did a tune with d-double-e, never came out tho! which is a shame! lol. Working on some stuff with MC’s in holland, and releasd a tune last year on my own label “Oi! Records”
EXAMPLE… How would you describe your sound?
G-MAN…I like energy stuff, cause thats what I play, but I like to make somer deeper stuff now and then aswell.
EXAMPLE… How long have you been producing?
G-MAN…About 5/6 years!!!
EXAMPLE… Have you got any more releases in the pipeline?
G-MAN…Yeah there will be a new one on “Oi! records” but no definite date as yet and im very busy on some other projects here in Amsterdam
EXAMPLE… You run a dubstep night called “Oi” (Below) in Amsterdam?H ow long has it been going and how does dubstep in general go down in Holland?
.
G-MAN…Just had my 5 year anniversary, and its been going very well the first couple of years were hard and not always that successful, i did it in a second smaller room with another rave, that room could hold around 400 people, and two years ago i made the step to do it in the main room 1400 people and all the recent nights have all sold out, so yeah dubstep is doing very good in holland! next one is going to be 19th of june!
EXAMPLE… Who is hot property in the dutch dubstep scene for us to watch out for??
G-MAN…In holland., there are def some guys that are doing good stuff, of course you got Martyn and 2562 from holland, but there is much more to look out for from this little country 
EXAMPLE… You mentioned your label “Oi records” what releases are in the shops now and upcoming.?
G-MAN…Yeah i started that with Osiris the man behind dubstep.nl & subbalicious, first release was end of last year with 2 productions from myself, we are planning to bring out more aswell from other producers Oi002 is in the pipeline but its hard to say a date yet….
EXAMPLE…And finally tune/tunes could you not live without at the moment?
G-MAN…This is so hard! Almost every week i hear big tunes… One i really like at the moment is Breakage – Together there is a vibe in that tune that i really like and a very big sample, its not a tune that i would play very often in my sets but really feeling that one!
G-MAN…Shouts to everyone that supports the sound, big up Subsonik crew, dubstep.nl and extra big up to people that buy my tunes haha!
