Plastician, born Chris Reed, is an influential figure within the electronic music scene, prominently known for his groundbreaking work in the genres of dubstep and grime. Hailing from Croydon, South London, a locale synonymous with dubstep's nascent days, Plastician began his musical journey as a pirate radio DJ and swiftly became a key player in shaping the sound that would echo worldwide. His style is a fusion of dark, bass-heavy beats and intricate rhythms, often infused with a haunting atmosphere that has become a signature of his work.

Through his career, Plastician has consistently pushed the boundaries of bass music, earning respect for both his production and DJing prowess. Notable recent releases such as "There Is No More Stars In Tokyo Sky" and "Bring Dat" showcase his continued evolution as an artist, while projects like "Plastician Presents - Wavepool 3" underscore his role as a tastemaker and curator within the scene. With the "Straight Outta Croydon EP" and the eponymously reference-laden "Plasticman Remixed III," he nods to his roots while keeping an ear to the future of electronic music. As a pivotal figure in the transition of underground UK sounds to global prominence, Plastician’s contributions to the electronic music landscape remain both vital and ever-expanding.
