Global Domination Digital is a drum & bass label based out of Surrey. We spoke to label co-owner The Grandad to find out more...

Please introduce yourself...
I'm The Grandad aka Delayed Reaction, and I'm also part of Motion Sickness with Peckers. I have been DJing for nine years and have been producing for four years. I have forthcoming releases on Cutterz Choice, Class A, G13, Dub Damage, Junction 11, 10 Ton Beats, Smokescreen and Global Domination.

Why have you set up Global Domination Digital and who is involved with running it?
Global Domination Digital is run by me and Misdeeds. We set up the label because I was getting sent a lot of tracks from other up-and-coming producers and established artists that seemed to be going under the radar of other labels. I also felt there was a gap in the market for a high energy jump-up digital label for quality tracks from a mix of up-and-coming and established artists. We've also started planning a vinyl label to launch in 2012.

Tell us more about your key artists...
Over the course of our first year we've signed artists such as Alter Ego, Reaperz, Mischief & Mayhem, Chew Lay, DJ Fate, Macky Gee, Contract Killers, Bonkrooger and Skorpio.

For 2011 we have got the DnbArena's DJ Fresh Gold Dust remix competition winner Octo Pi exclusively signed to us, his début release is out now and will be followed by a four-track EP. Octo Pi has awesome production skills and a truly epic individual sound.

We have found another up-and-coming producer with top notch jump-up production called Syanide, and he has a single and a EP coming this year. We also have more tracks forthcoming this year from Reaperz, L Ectric & Terra and myself.
