My Take

Roni Size, born Ryan Williams in Bristol, is one of those artists who didn't just ride a genre but helped define it. Winning the 1997 Mercury Prize for New Forms with Roni Size & Reprazent put drum and bass on the cultural map, and that record still sounds restless and alive decades later. What I value most is that he came up through Bristol's fiercely original scene and trusted his own sound rather than chasing trends. The intricate breakbeats and deep, rolling basslines feel like a signature. He's a genuine architect of a movement, and that earns my lasting respect.
