Zomby has revamped and advanced numerous forms of underground club music, from vintage hardcore techno and drum'n'bass of the '90s to early grime and dubstep, trap, and footwork of the ensuing decades in which he has been active. The identity of the enigmatic producer is unknown to the public. The first press photo displayed him in ninja clothing with a cardboard Eye of Providence covering his visage -- an image he joked about procuring from an Internet image search -- and his face was masked or otherwise obscured afterward. Nevertheless, his earliest releases garnered a cult following that only grew with releases on revered and diverse independents such as Kode9's Hyperdub, Actress' Werkdiscs, 4AD, and XL. ~ Andy Kellman
