Andy C, real name Andrew Clarke, is an English DJ and producer and co-founder of record label RAM Records. A pioneering Drum and Bass DJ since the genre's emergence in the early '90s he has consistently been voted World's Greatest Drum and Bass DJ.[citation needed] He specializes in fast mixing, often employing three turntables, and is known for mixing established classics with cutting edge releases.
Andy C began his DJ career at raves in his native Essex at the age 14. Since then he has become one of the world's most revered Drum and Bass DJs, performing at Drum and Bass events worldwide. He is also an accomplished producer - working solo, with Ant Miles as Origin Unknown and also with both Ant Miles and Shimon as Ram Trilogy. Between them, they have produced many enduring anthems such as "Titan", "No Reality" and "Valley of the Shadows", as well as a large number of remixes. The 2002 Shimon & Andy C hit "Body Rock" also achieved the rare distinction of being a Drum and Bass record that entered the UK pop charts (reaching number 28 in the UK Singles Top 40 Chart on January 6th 2002).
Andy C's record label RAM Records was started with Ant Miles in 1992 and is based in Hornchurch, Essex. Ram Records consists of DJs and producers: Shimon, Red One, Moving Fusion and Sub Focus. Some of Ram Records' most popular releases of recent times are Noisia's "Facade", Sub Focus' "Airplane", Sub Focus' "Swamp Thing", and Shimon's "The Shadow Knows".
