Section 8 (of Atlanta Dubstep)

Mike Waterbury, aka Section 8, fell in love with Drum & Bass in early 1999 after moving down to Atlanta from his hometown in Connecticut. Influenced by many sounds including Virus, Subtitles, Hospital, & Atlanta-based Shadow Law, his love for Liquid & Neurofunk was crystal clear in every set. After playing at numerous Drum & Bass events throughout the southeast, he soon became one of Atlanta's top locals. One of his highlights was having to fill in for the legendary LTJ Bukem, and performing alongside MC Conrad in April of 2005. That same year, Section 8 took the next step & started producing Drum & Bass. Two years later, in 2007, he discovered a huge attraction to Dubstep after hearing such artists as Vaccine, Vex’d, and Burial. Now primarily focused on Dubstep, he is trying to bring something new to the table with his sound. Known for his signature synths and driving basslines, Section 8 is making his name known worldwide. In September of 2009, Section 8’s debut release entitled “Mercury EP” was released on Abducted Records. Only out a few days, “Boulevard” appeared in Beatport’s Top 100 for Dubstep. Since his debut release, Section 8 has kept incredibly busy in the studio, especially after linking up with with top producers Killeralien, B1t Crunch3r, Phonetic System, Mouch, Vesicle, Dubtek, TZR, & Press.
