Chris Reed's career began thanks to a cheap pair of used turntables and an interest in the sounds coming out of his native London, including UK garage. By the early 2000s, Reed had graduated to Rinse FM, then a leading pirate station, and to make his own beats with an ear for a sound that was becoming known as grime. 

Sitting down at the 2004 Red Bull Music Academy, Reed shared details of his personal journey through grime and how to bring DIY sonics to the next level.
