Cause4Concern

Cause4Concern is an artist’s artist. Since 1999, the quietly influential quartet – latterly formed of Mark “CZA” Clements and the late Edd “Optiv” Holmes – have been harnessing their deft touch to sound design and penchant for evocation, playing an understated but undeniable role in developing the sounds and styles of their drum and bass contemporaries in the process. With a treasure trove of releases to their name including the iconic 2008 album ‘Pandemic’ and side quests as nCode and Troubled Mindz, the storied past of this pioneering DJ/production outfit can be traced back to the turn of the millennium in Guildford, where the team together mastered their visionary cocktail of enrapturing motifs, snarling basslines, and percussive intricacies. Since then, the movement has gone global, with their eponymous imprint nowadays doubling up as a lauded incubator for fresh talent, welcoming an ever-expanding roster of international acts into the fold.
