International DJ call IDC "the future king of electronic rock'n'roll", DJ Mag famously said "he makes music that sounds like a washing machine on crack" and Mixmag tag him "the one-man electro machine".

IDC's new single Bolshy Beats is out now. June's issue of Mixmag reckons "it's business as usual for 2008 as he throws raging guitar riffs, pumping beats and out-there arpeggios together" and likens it to Boys Noize...

IDC released two singles in 2007, 'Stomp' ("Coming on strong like the snotty nosed, unruly bastard child of Alter Ego's 'Rocker'" - iDJ 5 stars ) and 'Akai Elvis' ("you can instantly hear why it's getting the same kind of response LCD Soundsystem's "Losing My Edge" got before it reached saturation levels" - DJ Mag).

Summer 2007 saw Mixmag review IDC's monthly UK DJ residency Dirty Weekend as one of the top three clubs in the UK, saying "this is Dirty Weekend where resident DJs rule and there is definitely a stick of rave for every stick of rock. Since starting six months ago, DW's sculpted the best bits of clubbing 07 into one tidy package, regularly pulling bigger crowds than New Year's Eve."

Dirty Weekend saw IDC DJ alongside guests such as Shitdisco, Client, Mark Moore and Mecury Award Nominees New Young Pony Club and Jamie T. The club was featured in Mixmag, NME and on Sky News TV.

* Dance press features and DJ set reviews in 2007 were featured in DJ Magazine, iDJ, Mixmagand Spain's Trax magazine amongst many others.

A "Bubblin Under" feature in International DJ tagged IDC "the future king of electronic rock'n'roll" and DJ Mag's "hottest names in dance" feature said "he makes music that sounds like a washing machine on crack. The great thing about IDC is that he uses the best elements of rock'n'roll (namely phat twisted electric guitar riffs) with tripped out electro beats and grotty Alter Ego-style synths. No wonder the likes of Mark Moore, Erol Alkan, Pete Tong and John Kennedy are all over his tunes"
