Bombay Bicycle Club frontman Jack Steadman is a man of many talents, and no doubt a man with not much spare time.

He’s written almost every song of BBC’s three critically acclaimed LPs since 2009 and toured every corner of the globe for which he’s become a leading figure in UK music, yet his passions go beyond the conventional and last year he began releasing his own studio productions as free downloads.

There’s no doubt his tracks have a distinctly unique style, from chopped and screwed beats, to 2-step and heavily tweaked vocal editing and the two productions created whilst in Hong Kong recently not only demonstrate the styles but also how influenced he was by the city-state.

Remixes are also a big part for Steadman and this Mobb Deep is as refreshing as it is sublime.

What I like best about Jack Steadman is his consistency and diversity – he’s a melting pot of creativity and whilst he’ll continue creating great music with Bombay Bicycle Club via a large major record label deal, he’ll always have his own independent platform to release whatever he wants, whenever he wants, and every track so far has been top quality.

There will be a few artists successful today, who will be prominent in the shaping of music in the next twenty or more years and Steadman is likely to be one of them
