Lorin Ashton grew up in a commune in the San Francisco Bay Area, and the first art he created was mini-movies on his dad's cine-camera at the age of 10. He soon got into heavy metal groups like Megadeth and Nirvana in his early teens and started a metal band called Pale Existence, and promoted metal shows before discovering that he loved going to raves in California in the mid-'90s.

Uprise Audio is a fresh new dubstep label that over the past year has quickly gathered a devoted fan-base, as proved when it picked up the prestigious 'Best New Label' award in the Dubstepforum Awards for 2013.

Responsible for the success of acts such as Gemini, KOAN Sound and Culprate, Inspected is one of the most revered UK bass music labels on the scene today.
