Stabilizer Stabilizer then signed to the mighty Plastic Raygun with a healthy dose of commercial and critical success with the label. As well as selling on 5 continents he has dominated DJ Magazine's Breakbeat Chart (Best single of 2002, two further top 5's for Nitzer and What It Takes - the latter described as "A Classic" by Andy Weatherall, plus numerous remix appearances on the list, including a top spot for his re-rub of Jean Jacques Smoothie's "Love and Evil"). Nitzer was also nominated for best single of 2002 at the Breakspoll awards. The summer of 2003 saw Stabilizer have the privilege of opening the main dance stage of Glastonbury, turning it from an empty marquee to a heaving sweat pit in a matter of minutes. No mean feat at 12pm on a Friday afternoon! The year also saw some high profile remixes, including a reworking of Peter Gabriel's single, 'Growing Up'. All this talk of production work does no justice to the man's DJ skills. As an experienced and open-minded turntable twister he has rocked clubs across America and Europe leaving people in no doubt that this is a DJ with two simultaneous intentions; to rock a dancefloor and piss off the purists. DJ support has also been fantastic with Laurent Garnier, Plump DJs, Krafty Kuts, Jean Jacques Smoothie, Atomic Hooligan, SuperStyleDeluxe, Capoiera Twins, Jacknife Lee, John Stapleton, Friendly, Nico De Ceglia, James Zabiela, Phil Kieran, Deadly Avenger, And many more all playing and enjoying the Stabilizer debut. Now, sometimes under the new moniker of Mako Shark, he has been recruited by Stellar Music to add to the arsenal of breakbeat weaponry that the label is known for. The first release "Gang Boy" b/w "Club Jacket" proved to be quite destructive to dancefloors worldwide. Keep your ears and eyes open for several more releases from Stabilizer/Mako Shark on Stellar Music. |
