pin-sharp handle on king-size dubstep, Hamdi has rocketed to the forefront of global bass music culture in a flurry of footie shirts. It helps that he’s been co-signed by some of the heaviest hitters in the business, but it’s the strength of his tunes that has landed the Oxford-born prodigy in the cut and thrust of the US mega-scene. You might be more likely to see him shocking out to thousands-strong crowds these days, but the brightest spark in maximal electronic music still prizes the power of an intimate club show. The question is, how do you keep your feet on the ground when you’re reaching for the stars? For his DJ Mag cover interview, Oli Warwick met up with him in London to find out.
