Bias is best known for his single "Neighbourhood" which reached No. 25 on the UK charts in July 2000,[3] having created a large underground response from late 1999 in its original version. Living in Milton Keynes at the time, he collaborated with several other local artists and DJs resulting in a host of well-received tracks and remixes early in his producing career, such as "Standard Hoodlum Issue" with DJ Spatts (The Criminal Minds).[4] Some of these have been released on his own Sidewinder/Sidestepper and Biasonic labels.[1]
Bias started to record under the Maddslinky name in 2001, resulting in the album Make Your Peace in 2003 and a second Make a Change in 2010.[5] Around the same time, he also became one half of the production duo Phuturistix and has been engaged in remixing duties for many well-known artists.
Bias' releases, which explore a more experimental or progressive side of the 2-step garage sound, have been hailed as a crucial element in the establishment of dubstep as a definable sound or genre.[6][7]
