Andy C has become one of the world's most revered Drum and Bass DJs, performing at Drum and Bass events worldwide. He is also an accomplished producer - working solo, with Ant Miles as Origin Unknown and also with both Ant Miles and Shimon as Ram Trilogy. Between them, they have produced many enduring anthems such as "Titan", "No Reality" and "Valley of the Shadows", as well as a large number of remixes.
