Ctrl Z

Ctrl Z are a dance production duo hailing from London. Bursting on the scene in 2005, they have since become known for their unique brand of break beat infused electro – punk.

The Early Years…Tommy Dash and Nicky ‘Inch’ D’Silva, 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 Ctrl Z's first production was unleashed. Snapped up by Funkatech Recordings, 'Disko' and 'Pain' blasted their way straight into the boxes of the elite and paved the way for the duos illustrious career thus far.

They have over 40 releases and remixes under their belts on respected labels such as Against the Grain, Lot49, Botchit & Scarper, Passenger, Functional, Rat Records and Hardcore Beats. It is no surprise that after only a year in the 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 continued to receive praise and support from some of the biggest players in the scene, remixing and working alongside stalwarts such as The Freestylers, Tayo, Atomic Hooligan, Dreadzone and Dylan Rhymes amongst others.  Headlining events all over the world, their DJ sets have to be seen to be believed. Ctrl Z were the first Breaks act to be signed exclusively to the renowned Echo Location Agency where they were given the honor of supporting Pendulum their first ever live tour. In 2007 they were one of the main drawcards in Annie Nightingale’s Tent on the Opening night of the infamous Glastonbury festival and became residents at the legendary End club for DJ Friction's Shogun Audio Night.
