With his background in jungle and reggae, it was no surprise his early production was focussed more on the ‘dub’ side of dubstep with heavy influences from artists such as Lee Perry, Radikal Guru, Roots Meetings and Vibronics. His first solo release was on the New Zealand label, DubPride Recordings.

After producing for just a year and a half, Killawatt has quickly established himself within the scene with his unique combination of influences from jungle, dub reggae, techno and tribal.
