Joseph McGann

Joseph McGann (born 1988), who goes under the aliases of Kahn and Gorgon Sound, is a British grime and dubstep record producer and DJ known for his contributions to the Bristol underground scene.[1][2][3] Alongside frequent collaborator Neek, he has founded record label Bandulu and is a member of Young Echo.[4][5] As a proponent of vinyl, it is the only medium he performs with and the only medium his record label releases on.[6] His initial forays into djing started with his night Sureskank, which was one of the first nights that brought Dubstep and Grime to Bristol.[7] More recently, he has put on nights as a part of the experimental Bristol collective Young Echo.[8][9][10] He has had multiple releases on the pioneering dubstep label Deep Medi Musik, with releases such as "Dread", "Abbatoir" and the Volume 1 LP with Gantz and Commodo. He contributed a mix CD as well as a label residency to London's Fabric nightclub.[11]
