Winston Hazel, Toddla T and DJ Q represent three distinct generation of Sheffield sounds. Hazel is one of the city’s modern pioneers, a DJ at the Jive Turkey parties and one-third of electronic trio Forgemasters, whose “Track With No Name” was the first release on Warp Records. Toddla T grew up with Hazel’s selections, fashioning a voracious appetite for music that led to a position at Kenwood Studios and eventually to a solo career as a producer and DJ with a unique soundsystem aesthetic. DJ Q is actually from Huddersfield, north of Sheffield, but has become associated with the city thanks to his love for the local bassline scene, a sound he championed on BBC 1Xtra and with releases such as “You Wot!” In this conversation as part of Red Bull Music Academy’s Paths Unknown series, the three producers and DJs sat down in Sheffield’s Trafalgar Warehouse to discuss their respective paths, their approach to collaboration and the impact and evolution of what Hazel refers to as the Sheffield klang, a sound that speaks of the city’s industrial past and hard-working ethos.
