Hailing from Perth the epicenter of the Australasian drum and bass scene, Shockone aka Karl Thomas has proven he is one of the major talents in bass music today.

Following in the footsteps of his d'n'b counterparts Pendulum, ShockOne recently relocated to the UK for 3 months in the wake of a massive UK & European Tour as he warms international audiences up for his hugely anticipated & forthcoming debut album!

In 2011 alone he's toured nationally with Karnivool, taken on mix duties for OneLove Recordings wildly popular "Dubstep Invasion" CD, hit the road in support of the 'Dubstep Invasion' compilation and released the critically acclaimed single 'Crucify Me Parts I & II' (which featured heavily on triple j rotation).

Best known for his original EP 'The ShockOne EP', (which featured the seminal 'Polygon', a track which received major air play world wide including triple j and with Radio 1's Annie Mac penning it as 'The biggest drum and bass tune out') as well as remixes for The Aston Shuffle, The Stanton Warriors and his collaboration from 2009 with Phetsta 'The Sun', his new single 'Relapse ' featuring Sam Nafie on vocals, is out this October on Viper recordings.

SUPPORT: PHETSTA, Ekko & Sidetrack, Dvise, Illusiv & Dub Z
