DJ Oneman

Steve Bishop, known professionally as Oneman, is a DJ and producer from Streatham, London. His background is in pirate radio and he is a regular DJ on Rinse FM.

Oneman's DJ sets typically blend dubstep, hip hop, grime, UK funky and UK garage. He has released two mix albums with Fabriclive and Rinse FM.

His love of dance music developed as a teenager in South London listening to local pirate stations and early grime shows on Rinse FM.

Around 2006, Oneman began to make his name in the dubstep scene for his virtuosic vinyl-only mixes, which combined older garage tracks he’d grown up with, with brand new dubstep tracks. At a time when halfstep rhythms were becoming established as the norm within dubstep, Oneman’s approach loosened up his sets, making them fluid and extremely danceable. He was, he says, interested in “trying to [mix] two tracks together to make a whole new track. Because I didn't produce tunes, my whole thing would be if I had two tracks I picked that mixed together really well, I'd use that as a statement mix – you could almost say that was my mix.”

In 2007 he was asked to join Rinse FM, and has become a "figure synonymous with the Rinse FM station and the brand and subculture surrounding it". Oneman continues his weekly broadcast on Rinse FM every Tuesday: 21:00 – 23:00 GMT.

In 2008, Oneman was the first DJ to appear on the Mary Anne Hobbs BBC Radio 1 show without releasing a record.

FACT TV featured an interview with DJ Oneman and Toddla T in which the artists discuss Notting Hill Carnival 2012.

In 2010 Oneman launched a record label, 502 Recordings, whose roster is made up of upcoming producers. It has released productions by Teeth, Jay Weed, Fis -T, and Destro.

Standard Place is regular event / underground party hosted and DJ'd by Oneman, Jon Rust, DJ Reecha and ASBO. Standard Place began with the four DJ's playing DJ sets for Boiler Room and Fabric (Club). The Standard Place crew concept was then continued to create events taking place across London.
