Liam McLean, a producer from Bristol, England, debuted as Joker in 2007 and released over a dozen 12” singles and EPs through early 2011. Tracks like “Snake Eater” (Soul Motive, 2008), “Holly Brook Park” (Kapsize, 2008), “Digidesign” (Hyperdub, 2009), the Ginz collaboration “Purple City” (Kapsize, 2009), and “Psychedelic Runway” (Kapsize, 2009) built and sustained McLean’s reputation for creating some of grime/dubstep’s most colorful and powerful productions. Later in 2011, after signing to the 4AD label, Joker released his first album, The Vision, which featured several tracks with vocalists, including Jessie Ware, Silas Bjerregaard of Turboweekend, and several MCs. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi
