Toddla T’s Ghettoblaster
Those of you who went to The Big Chill will have no doubt checked Toddla T. This Sheffield born and bread producer is currently tearing up dancefloors/halls/fields/tents across the land. He’s had such a profound effect on our Blunted compradre DJ Indecision that he actually felt compelled to pull his finger out and write something up about Toddla for the website… he must be good.
“People who know me well might have heard me bang on for the last 6 months about a young man named Toddla T.
I first became aware of him, when I saw this strange name was booked to play the dance tent at The Big Chill this year. Having not seen anything about his profile previously, I was intrigued. Then I saw he was slated to produce a couple of beats for a certain Mr Manuva’s new album. Hailing from Sheffield, and only at the tender age of 23, he’s really started making waves having produced Rodney’s single ‘BUFF NUFF,’ his own releases on 1965 records - ‘Manabadman’ , ‘Sound tape killin’ & ‘Fill up mi portion’
Blending abrasive Ragga, House, Techno, Dubstep, Dancehall, Drum and Bass & Hiphop, Toddla T is, quite frankly, one of the few DJ’s I have been genuinely excited about for a long time - I’m anticipating his debut album with baited breath.
Easily the most fun I had at the Big Chill this year was, surprisingly, not chilling out - but running round like a loon for 2 hours while ‘Big T Willy’ did his thing for me and 1,999 others. Toddla T’s Ghettoblaster is what I hope to be the first in a long line of mixes from the man himself, perfect for bumping loud before you go out on the night. Easily the best DJ mix I’ve heard this year, maybe not to everyone’s taste, but fuck it - at least he’s being original!
Now his website is up proper, you can download it for yourself, and for free! - I implore you! Go to ‘Mixes’ - The link is there as well as his mini mix for Annie Mac - bad! Hosted by long time associate MC Serocee, this packed with lots of dirt, but above all - lots of fun!
Indecision has recently taken over Promotions at Gramaphone in London. Anyone who wants to keep up to date with it’s goings-on, look it up on Facebook.

Hi Mr
Came across Toddla T a few months back. Have been out in OZ when I saw him booked for the BC off we went. He was wicked. Last time something was that good i didn’t have 3 kidz. Trying to get hold of Gettoblasta. Got any hints?
