Zed Bias (born Dave Jones) is an English electronic musician who operates within the UK garage and broken beat genres, both as a producer and a DJ. Jones has also released material under the pseudonym Maddslinky, and is half of the Phuturistix duo, as well as other side projects.[1][2]
Zed Bias is best known for his single "Neighbourhood," which reached #25 in the UK charts in July 2000.[3] He has remixed artists ranging from Gabrielle, Kosheen, Maxim, Pharoahe Monch and the Streets.[2] He runs the Sidestepper Recordings label.[1][2] Zed 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.[4][5]
