Biography [link]
Matt Schofield started out in the drum and bass field simply as a DJ, already using the moniker of 'Rollz'. Time passed however, and his love of drum and bass pushed him into production and writing, practicing via online remix competitions. It was later on that Formation Records label head and founder DJ SS noticed Rollz and exclusively signed him to the stalwart label in 2009, with his debut track 'Solid State', appearing on the 2009 compilaion 'The Formation Family' and on the vinyl EP. Following this, Rollz' debut single 'Plugged In / Voice Of The Mysterons' was released, and it enjoyed radioplay from various DJs, such as Grooverider,[2] Zane Lowe, Huw Stephens, Fabio, Rob da Bank and MistaJam on BBC Radio 1.[3] 'Plugged In' was included in Zane Lowe's 'Hottest Records in the World' [4] three weeks running and Grooverider's Drum and Bass tip for 2010.[5]
After this, his debut extended play 'The Rollz EP' dropped, with all four tracks gaining radio play of the sorts, especially that of the first track, 'Sustain', which helped to define Rollz' 'sound' and input to the drum and bass genre. After the release of his second extended play 'The Drumstepper', which explored the genre of drumstep in 4 tracks. Besides doing some in-label remixes here and there, Rollz is currently working towards an album, confirmed to be titled 'Colours', with the first single 'Soul Calibur / M Theory', released mid-July.
