Chestplate Recordings was founded in August 2007 by Dubstep pioneer Distance, as a means to releasing his own music. The edgy sound that Chestplate is currently known for was evident from the very first release By Distance & Skream 'Political Warfare / Radical'. Since then the quality control bar has always remained high with releases by Benga and Cyrus, not to mention an array of top quality releases from Distance himself.
