Preditah – Selecta

Championed by the likes of Radio 1, FACT, Boiler Room, Mixmag, Noisey, SBTV, and RWD, Preditah (aka Nathan Gerald) has carved out a career as one of the UK’s most promising producers. Released on 3 Beat in March, ‘Selecta’ is showing all the signs of being his first crossover hit, with over 20 plays at Radio 1 so far from the likes of Annie Mac, Zane Lowe, MistaJam, Target, Huw Stephens, B. Traits, Toddla T and more.
 
An anthemic four to the four cut wrapped in his signature production style, ‘Selecta’ is helping reset the agenda for UK dance music in 2015. A notable departure from the grime sound that’s brought him to the forefront of the British scene and a further development of his garage inflected house, ‘Selecta’ shows Preditah isn’t afraid to punch through musical boundaries, an approach he’ll develop with forthcoming releases/collaborations with Wilfred Giroux, and Cause and Effect.
 
Born in Birmingham, Preditah’s series of instrumental EPs, Solitaire EP, Eightsome EP, Circles EP, Red Bull EP, Gears of Grime, and El Futuro EP, ensured a growing presence on pirate radio and on the dancefloor. His breakthrough track, ‘The Big Wok’, was noticed by JME (Boy Better Know), and this association helped cement his reputation, soon after he became the tour DJ for Skepta.
 
Taking into account his skills as a composer and guitarist (bass guitar), and his remixes for the likes of Jessie Ware, Disclosure, Blonde and Tchami, you have all the hallmarks of a prodigious talent.
