Gavin King, better known by his stage name Aphrodite, is a British jungle and drum and bass DJ/producer on the Urban Takeover label. Also known as A Zone or DJ Aphro, he contributed to and influenced the genre’s styles and techniques. He was born in Aberystwyth, Wales and moved to London with his family as a toddler. He has studied computer science. He was one half of breakbeat hardcore group Urban Shakedown (with Claudio Giussani) who scored a UK top 40 hit with “Some Justice”. The duo appeared in an article of Amiga Format magazine after using two Amiga 500 computers to help create the track.

DJ Aphrodite is behind Aphrodite Recordings which was inspired by a club he ran in 1988 called ‘Aphrodite’. His debut album was a self-titled effort under V2 Recordings, released in 1999. The follow-up was Aftershock which was again released under V2 Recordings on 24 June 2002.
