Gravious a.k.a. Ali Jackson is an up-and-coming Dubstep producer based in Glasgow, Scotland. With 4 releases under his belt through the HotFlush record label - on both the main label and the Scuba sub-label – and a warm reception from critics and punters alike, he is currently taking a live show out on the road.

Ali started making music in 2001 after being shown the basics of DIY production by a friend. After experimenting in a variety of styles, he was converted to the fresh sounds of Dubstep, Dark Garage and Broken Beat after hearing the selections of DJs such as J Da Flex and Femme Fatale in early 2004. From this starting point, he quickly discovered the bass-heavy productions of Kode9, Digital Mystikz, Horsepower, Skream, Groove Chronicles and Ghost – and was instantly hooked. Taking inspiration from these sounds, Gravious also brought in elements from his wider musical tastes in both electronic and traditional music to add new perspectives. Artists most inspirational to him include The Future Sound of London, Boards of Canada, Radiohead, LTJ Bukem, Kyuss, Aphex Twin, and Autechre.

In Early 2007 he played the first ‘live’ laptop set of his own material during the Triptych music festival in Edinburgh. 2008 saw a him hit venues across the UK, as well as a handful of European cities. With a variety of releases in the pipeline and a series of live dates lined up in Australia, 2009 looks set to be another big year!
