Timeline
Benjamin Pettit (born 12 March 1972), better known as DJ Zinc, is a British DJ and record producer.
In 1991, he began his radio show with then partner DJ Swift on London's Impact FM. He continued to DJ with Swift onto Eruption FM and later solo on Rinse FM since it gained a license.
Zinc first became known for 1995's "Super Sharp Shooter", a hip hop/jungle fusion, notably one of the pioneering jump-up anthems of its time.
He went on to produce drum and bass, breakbeat and more recently UK garage and house.
Zinc's career as a DJ and producer stretches the steady evolution of hardcore from its house roots through ragga and hip hop-styled hardstep and beyond.
Zinc produced and DJ'd as part of the Ganja Kru and True Playaz collectives, often in association with DJ Hype from 1996 to 2002.
He continued to DJ on a regular basis, and was one of the first drum and bass producers to score a hit in the 2-step garage market courtesy of his 1999 single "138 Trek", which reached No. 27 on the UK Singles Chart in November 2000.
His productions have been relatively popular outside the drum and bass scene, most notably in the breaks genre under the pseudonym Jammin.
In 2001, Zinc released a remix compilation album of his own productions called Beats by Design which included "138 Trek".
He ran the Bingo Beats record label, which released both drum and bass and breaks records from 2002 to 2008.
He has been known to release records under the alias of Dope Skillz, Jammin and Jelly Jams plus others.
By August 2004, he released his second album, Faster, a concept album of sorts.
The album, as the name suggests, ups the tempo little-by-little for each song.
The title track and album opener, epitomises this and is a grimy crawl through bass and beat that speeds up from 40bpm into the early 100s by its end.
In 2007, Zinc stopped making and playing drum and bass, citing "disenchantment with the scene".
He started producing again in 2009 with a fusion of deep house, funky house and fidget house, which he believed did not fit into any of these subgenres.
He later named his new sound "crack house".
In October 2009, DJ Zinc released Crack House EP encompassing his new sound of the crack house genre.
In November 2009, DJ Zinc created a 2-hour mix for broadcasting on BBC Radio1s.Mix.2022s and 2021s
† – credited as 'DJ Zinc / DJ Hype'
‡ – credited as 'DJ Zinc featuring Eksman'
A follow-up to this EP, Crack House Vol. 2 was released in July 2010.
