Following a number of releases on Renegade Hardware including 'Soma' [3] and 'Blackboard Jungle' [4] EBK came to prominence in 2007 with the release of '1000 Years' [5] on Renegade Hardware's album 'Above The Game' [6] along with his remix work for Sudden Def Records.
His tracks are played by DJs across the board and have got national radio support in the UK from broadcasters including Mary Anne Hobbs and the late John Peel.
