DJ Oneman
Steve Bishop, known professionally as Oneman, is a DJ and producer from Streatham, London. His background is in pirate radio and he is a regular DJ on Rinse FM.
Oneman's DJ sets typically blend dubstep, hip hop, grime, UK funky and UK garage. He has released two mix albums with Fabriclive and Rinse FM.
Career
His love of dance music developed as a teenager in South London listening to local pirate stations and early grime shows on Rinse FM.
Around 2006, Oneman began to make his name in the dubstep scene for his virtuosic vinyl-only mixes, which combined older garage tracks he’d grown up with, with brand new dubstep tracks. At a time when halfstep rhythms were becoming established as the norm within dubstep, Oneman’s approach loosened up his sets, making them fluid and extremely danceable. He was, he says, interested in “trying to [mix] two tracks together to make a whole new track. Because I didn't produce tunes, my whole thing would be if I had two tracks I picked that mixed together really well, I'd use that as a statement mix – you could almost say that was my mix.”
One-man operation
One-man operation (OMO), also known as driver-only operation (DOO), one person operation (OPO), single person train operation (SPTO), or one-person train operation (OPTO), is operation of a train, bus, or tram by the driver or motorman alone, without a conductor.
On one-man operated passenger trains the driver must be able to see the whole train to make sure that all the doors are safe for departure. On curved platforms a CCTV system, mirror or station dispatch staff are required.
Although extra infrastructure such as cameras and mirrors might require additional investment, one-man operation is usually faster and cheaper to implement than automatic train operation, requiring a smaller investment in, for example, platform intruder detection systems and track protection (fencing, bridge-caging, CCTV etc.). In some cases, one-man operation can be seen as an intermediate step towards automatic train operation.
While European freight trains are normally one-man operated, the larger North American freight trains are almost exclusively manned by an engineer as well as a conductor.
