It began at the end of 2004 when his track, ‘The Ferret’, made it through to the final of the ‘cutting room’ on 1Xtra, where it unanimously won with support from the likes of L Double, Sappo, GQ and the 1Xtra team. As a result it raised his profile as an up and coming artist, and has sparked interest from various labels and producers.
In 2005 he joined forces with Keynote Studios in Reading, who took a keen interest to his style of production and uniquely developing sound. He was soon offered releases on Kinetic Recordings and Deadly Records which laid the foundations of things to come.
System Shock Recordings was set up by Callide with 1 simple objective in mind; to put out high quality releases into the D&B industry, which will get a reputation for ''GETTIN THE JOB DONE''. Tracks are focussed specifically for the dance floor, with the A side featuring nothing but tough edged D&B, and the flip focusing on the fast paced Jump Up side of things.
