Biog:

S-Type, aka Bobby Perman, is a 24 year old producer hailing from Edinburgh but residing in Glasgow. Born into a Scottish music dynasty, he is the latest Perman to make his name in this business we call music. His older brother Dougal is director and founder of Radiomagnetic, The UK’s longest running online radio broadcaster, and his younger older brother Tommy is label head of Scottish imprint Surface Pressure Records and a member of FOUND, Scotland’s finest experimental pop band. It’s no surprise then that this young buck has followed in such footsteps and made his own name in the here and now. Citing influences from Timbaland, DJ Khalil, Ryan Leslie and The Neptunes, to Swindle and Joker, S-Type’s sound and style is diverse, deadly and very much his own.

S-Type holds the accolade of winning the first ever Louis Den Beats League, a beat battle that attracts the finest new hip hop producers that the world has to offer. Having taken the title in 2008, he developed his sound further, fusing elements of crunk, grime and dubstep, melting everything together to cause dancefloor carnage and breaking through genre boundaries with ease. He recently performed live and gave a lecture at the Red Bull Music Academy and 2010, imparting the indepth production knowledge he has been gathering since he started making music as a precocious 15 year old.

2010 saw him produce tracks for vocalists such as Laws, Tek of Smif n Wessun and Emilio Rojas, adding to his back catalogue of collaborative beats and solo productions. He finished the year of in style with the much lauded ‘Medusa’ EP for burgeoning Glasgow label Phuturelabs, stepping out from behind the desk to take centre stage. Having garnered praise from XLR8R as well as DJ support coming in thick and fast from Joker, Bok Bok, Girl Unit, Jackmaster, Kavsrave, Jacques Greene and many more, the 3 track EP is filled with unshakable hooks, the deepest of sub bass and neck jerking synth lines that have announced S-Type to the wider world.

2012 will see S-Type release an EP for the prestigious LuckyMe records to keep the blood rushing and bodies moving.
