Composer Damon Baxter, aka Deadly Avenger, first burst onto the dance music scene in the early noughties. Supported by Fatboy Slim, Propellerheads, and Jon Carter, Damon was heralded as the pioneer of the ‘Big Beat’ sound. Touring the world and setting dancefloors alight, he eventually settled nicely into a residency at FABRIC alongside UNKLE and The Wiseguys; this led to two of the genre’s biggest records, ‘Evil Knievel’ and ‘King Tito’s Gloves.’
