Ship Sket is 26 year old Josh Griffiths. Originally from Dorset, he's lived in Manchester for seven years and forged his own path within the city's welcoming and close-knit music scene, arriving on Planet Mu this autumn with his debut album InitiatriX. Sonically the album is a homage to the UK styles that Josh loves: dubstep, grime, drill and rap, but on an emotional level it’s about spirituality, fetish, and latent darkness hidden by outward appearances.

Josh says about his process “I like happy accidents, messing around and resampling, and kind of seeing how far I can push stuff before it disintegrates in front of me." Not so much deconstructed so much as derailed; "I’ve heard my tunes on a club system and gone wow that mix sounds bad, but the tune is still popping. My approach is a lot more stylistic than it is technical." Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
