QUARTERS // BRIGHTON

Grant Marshall, a.k.a. Daddy G, is one of the founding fathers of the "Bristol sound," among the main protagonists of this incredible obscure sound that mixes dub, reggae, funk, disco and hip hop, we remember Massive Attack, Tricky, Portishead, Smith & Mighty: A style that has left traces in the world for several decades, which has greatly inspired for example the dubstep scene.

Daddy G was born with the Wild Bunch Sound System, from which Massive Attack was later born. Along with Mushroom and 3-D, Daddy G was one of the band's founders and lead vocalist. By 1980 he was one of Bristol's youngest DJs, and at his shows you could hear the latest disco and funk, American punk, early imported rap, alongside soul and dub reggae.

By the time the Wild Bunch sound system was founded, Daddy G was already a local celebrity. His DJ sets became legendary not only for his selections and technical mixing skills, but also for his prowess with the microphone.

During Massive's hiatuses, Daddy G continued to keep people dancing at the best clubs around the world, with an ever-updated record box. In 2004 he released for the Dj Kicks series ,his compilation, where the sounds that dominate are reggae and dub, but also vintage soul and funk, deep house, up to dubstep and of course with a lot of flour from the Massive Attack sack between classics and unreleased remixes.
