Since then, he has been regarded as a pioneer of UK Funky and has performed at high-profile events and festivals like Glastonbury, Outlook and Field Day.
Champion counts publications such as The Guardian, Pitchfork and FACT as firm admirers of his craft, and figureheads like Four Tet, Ben UFO, Mark Ronson and Benji B are often caught dropping his latest productions in their sets. He is also the founder of Formula Records – an imprint at the forefront of UK’s underground club music that has featured releases by renowned artists including Zed Bias, Flava D, Terror Danjah and the label head himself.
