We're sure most of you have never heard of 22-year-old Londoner, Boxwork. However, after stumbling onto his Soundcloud recently we think that this year that is sure to change.

Here is a young producer who really caught our eye during 2011. Calum Lee, an extremely talented jazz musician in his own right, goes by the name of Paleman when he is sat at his computer.
