We’ve been hooking up and swaping clothes for beats with this guy since back in 2006 when he stared making a massive name for himself as a host and MC in both drum & bass and dubstep circles.

Regularly working alongside DJ Die, Skream, Benga, Redlight, Pinch and Kutz at their own request, as well as frequent sets at the UK’s top club nights including Fabric, Detonate, Bedlam and Run, Dread’s is now a household name, and if you’re throwing a party it’s more than likely he’s gunna be on your ‘to call’ list.

This week we caught up with the man himself after playing at the Redbull Culture Clash, held in Wembley Arena and featuring all the hottest names in music right now including the likes of Disclosure, Rudimental, Redlight, Ms Dynamite and Katy B but to name a few.

Long time friend of FLY53, Dread MC, has toured the UK extensively in 2010. Dread is well known across the Dubstep and Drum n Bass scene and the big nights in this genre are rarely found without him somewhere on the line-up. 2010 was no exception for the Bristolian, which saw him on the line up for many Under the Radar events, as well as Bedlam and Off the Grid.

FLY53 kept him looking fresh for all of these shows with some awesome threads straight from the latest collections. You can see Dread rocking them to full effect in the videos below:

Big shout to the boys at Chemical Records for their Headhunter & Dread MC- FLY53 colab. The shoot was huge and also got covered by the Daily Street….High Fives to ‘The Daily Street’ fellas firstly for having such a sick website (you may as well rename them Chief Runs in Street ‘cause they have their ears to the ground like Native Indians) but also for covering the entire shoot..
