Making Conscious Sounds

 

Dougie Wardrop started his career in music production while running Dub Shack Records at Camden lock market. Inspired by early digital steppers such as Dread 'n' Fred & Manasseh, his first mix was the instrumental "Stepping Time" recorded on 4-track at Nick Manasseh's house. It was released under the name Centry in September 90 & became the launch of his imprint Conscious Sounds.
