Musical artist

**Joseph McGann** (born 1988), who goes under the aliases of **Kahn** and **Gorgon Sound**, is a British [grime](/source/Grime_music) and [dubstep](/source/Dubstep) record producer and DJ of the [Bristol underground scene](/source/Bristol_underground_scene).[1][2][3] Alongside frequent collaborator Neek, he founded record label Bandulu and is a member of Young Echo.[4][5]

His initial forays into DJing started with his night Sureskank, which was one of the first nights that brought dubstep and grime to Bristol.[6] More recently, he has put on nights as a part of the experimental Bristol collective Young Echo.[7][8][9] He has had multiple releases on the dubstep label [Deep Medi Musik](/source/Deep_Medi_Musik), including "Dread", "Abattoir" and the *Volume 1* LP with Gantz and Commodo. He contributed a mix CD as well as a label residency to London's [Fabric](/source/Fabric_(club)) nightclub.[10]

His love of music grew from his parents [Paul McGann](/source/Paul_McGann) and Annie Milner taking him to music festivals and playing a variety of musical styles around the house, from punk to reggae.[11][12]
