The ninth artist confirmed for Countdown New Years Eve 2011 has been described by Knowledge Magazine as "the biggest influence on drum and bass we’ve ever known" - he is the record breaking DJ FRESH !!

DJ Fresh (aka Daniel Stein) has had a massive 2011 - the highlight of which was becoming the first Drum & Bass or Dubstep act to secure a UK number one single, hitting the top spot with his summer anthem 'Louder':

Prior to his number one hit, Fresh had experienced previous chart success with his 2010 track 'Gold Dust':

Before becoming a solo act Fresh was one of the principal members of drum & bass supergroup, Bad Company, alongside DBridge, Maldini & Vegas; and was responsible for producing some of the biggest Drum & Bass anthems of all time:

 And if that's not enough Fresh also owns and runs the pioneering drum & bass label Breakbeat Kaos with Adam F, home to the likes of Pendulum, Nero and Chase & Status. Fresh has also released a number of his own singles via the label, including his 2010 remix of Dead Prez's "It's Bigger Than Hip Hop" (under his WTF!? guise):

After his sell out FRESH LIVE UK Tour, we are very excited to welcome DJ Fresh to Countdown 2011 !!!
