Neil McIlwraith, a.k.a Specific, currently resides in London although originally is from Pembrokeshire in West Wales.

Around 2000, he had his first experience at DJing and was hooked. High Contrast's 'True Colours' LP completely inspired him to turn his hand to producing DnB, spending the first year of university making tracks and passing them to local DJs for feedback.

A chance meeting with Alix Perez (at the time also unsigned) though an internet forum led to the pair collaborating on a few tracks via AIM.

These initial 4-5 tracks got great feedback from a lot of DJs and producers. One of the tracks was Drive By which was eventually signed to Progress Records.

The collaboration parnership led to the most well known works together; Just Memories and Love Bug, which were both play-listed daytime tracks on 1xtra.

Specific's sound is soulful but still able to work on the dancefloor.

His melodic use of arranging samples always create a unique sound that is recogisable almost immediately as his own.

The recent move to London has found Specific producing more than ever. Drawing upon the cities vibrant atmosphere and music scene and already starting to make a name for himself in the capitial.
