About Shiken Hanzo

Raised by a Nigerian mother and Jamaican father, Hanzo found early influence in African percussion and reggae, before catching the d&b bug via the likes of Ed Rush & Optical as a teen. He began making music on an Amiga, but didn’t stick with it. After a decade or more away, he returned to production in the early 2010s, inspired by hearing Kryptic Minds on Youngsta’s radio show — “it had that drum & bass darkness, but at a slower tempo”. From there he got into the likes of Loxy, UVB-76 and Samurai Music, all staples of the shadowy halftime d&b sound that Hanzo has become most associated with.
