A UK graffiti pioneer, REQ ONE - aka REQ TDK, or simply REQ - began painting walls in his native city of Brighton in 1984, initially as part of the TFU crew (The Fuckest Uppest) and then more prominently as part of the TDK crew (The Dusty Knights) with SHE ONE, CARD2 / VISOR, Vinnie Nylon a.k.a. BUICK, NOZAL / JAS and EUROH. Typically produced on a Casio FZ-1 and mastered direct to a 4 track tape machine, his first musical EPs and album releases emerged a little over a decade later in 1995 on renowned UK label Skint Records, followed a few years later by releases on FatCat Records, Ultimate Dilemma, Plush, Blue Juice, and Warp Records.
