FuntCase

FuntCase had started making Dubstep early July, which came after 5 years of mainly producing Drum and Bass. His first track 'Gorilla Flex' was originally just for laughs but it turned out to be quite a highly rated track and it wasnt long until he got his first Dubstep release on vinyl, with 4:20 records. Enjoying the new way of production he militantly went on to make a few more tracks, one entitled 'Half Drunk' and the other 'Make Our Day' which also made the vinyl release with Gorilla Flex.
