Fold (UK) Forged in the crucible of London’s late-90s pirate radio and sound-system culture, Fold (Rob Glassett) is a master of precision-engineered, heavyweight underground rhythm. Rooted in a lifelong crate-digging mentality, his technical dexterity effortlessly bridges the gaps between broken beat, house, techno, garage, and jungle with an unmistakable UK edge. Whether he is anchoring dancefloors at seminal institutions like Panorama Bar, Fabric, Open Ground and Glastonbury festival - or taking his sound global with recent tours across Asia, India, and Australia—Fold remains a tireless champion of the underground spanning 20 years in the business. A central figure in contemporary club culture in London, he steers the forward-leaning Well Street Records imprint, commands the airwaves as a Rinse FM mainstay (following his 10 year + tenure on NTS Radio) and continues to push boundaries through his own FLDIN2 label, alongside a slew of high-profile releases on heavy hitting imprints such as Aus Music and Shall Not Fade.
