Joseph McGann (born 1988), who goes under the aliases of Kahn and Gorgon Sound, is a British grime and dubstep record producer and DJ of the Bristol underground scene.[1] [2] [3] Alongside frequent collaborator Neek, he founded record label Bandulu and is a member of Young Echo.[4] [5]
His initial forays into DJing started with his night Sureskank, which was one of the first nights that brought dubstep and grime to Bristol.[6] More recently, he has put on nights as a part of the experimental Bristol collective Young Echo.[7] [8] [9] He has had multiple releases on the dubstep label Deep Medi Musik, including "Dread", "Abattoir" and the Volume 1 LP with Gantz and Commodo. He contributed a mix CD as well as a label residency to London's Fabric nightclub.[10]
His love of music grew from his parents Paul McGann and Annie Milner taking him to music festivals and playing a variety of musical styles around the house, from punk to reggae.[11] [12]
