| Ctrl Z are a Nu Skool Breakz production duo hailing from London. Tom Petais and Nicky D'Silva aka Dash and Inch met through the Community Music Program in London. The pairing up of these two DJs by their tutor was to be the start of something special and their first Ctrl Z Production was unleashed. Snapped up by DJ Mutiny's Funkatech Recordings, Disko' and 'Pain made up the debut single that was to cause a big splash in the Breaks Scene. Straight to number 1 in the Mixmag Chart and straight into the boxes of the Breakbeat elite this dancefloor bomb paved the way for the duo.
Now with 20 releases and remixes under their belts on respected labels such as 777, Hardcore beats and Rat Records, it is no surprise that after only a year in business, Ctrl Z had the honor of receiving two nominations for Best Breakthrough Act and Best Breakthrough Producer at the 2005 Breakspoll Awards. Dash & Inch are receiving praise and support from some of the biggest players in the scene: Freq Nasty commissioned no less than Three Ctrl-Z tracks for his latest compilation CD, while the Freestylers requested not only a Ctrl Z remix on their album, but a collaboration with themselves too!
The list also includes collaborations with Breakbeat Stalwarts Tayo and the Autobots. Their DJ sets have to be seen to be believed, headlining Events all over the UK and Europe, Ctrl Z have crossed the Atlantic for three successful tours of the States and are rapidly spreading their unmistakable sound even further. As well as regular gigs, Ctrl Z can be heard smashing up the airwaves on the Double Award Winning station Pyroradio.com.
