One of the most important producers in the upfront uk bass music scene, Addison Groove aka Headhunter bringing his unique crossover sounds that blends juke/footwork/dubstep/techno. Don't miss out his 2019 China tour!

When it comes to Addison Groove, creating bridges and pushing boundaries is the name of the game. Known for his ability to flawlessly meld genres both in the studio and behind the decks, Addison Groove, or Antony Williams, is constantly searching for fresh and innovative sounds.

Coming from drum n bass and dubstep terrain in Bristol, Addison Groove was born Headhunter, a dubstep producer with seven releases on Tempa since 2007. His work at the deeper end of the dubstep spectrum has graced the label an impressive 7 times, a figure matched only by luminaries such as Skream & Horsepower Productions. This work looked set to continue until 2010 when, seemingly out of nowhere, he crafted one of the biggest bass music tracks of the decade, ‘Footcrab’, under the new name of Addison Groove.

The response to ‘Footcrab’ was phenomenal, receiving critical and commercial success in equal measure across the dance music scene. Getting plays not only from the dubstep DJs that Williams was used to reaching, it also found its way into the record boxes of techno and house heavyweights such as Surgeon, Ricardo Villalobos and Mr Scruff, bringing an enormous new audience to his music in the process. Taking influences from the Chicago ghetto tek and juke scenes, Addison Groove’s impact on UK bass music has been colossal and unprecedented, sparking a huge interest in these styles from his peers and the listening public alike.
