Boxcutter

Boxcutter is the name used by several different acts, including a dubstep producer from Northern Ireland, a rapcore and hardcore rap group from Pennsylvania, a screamo band from Toronto, and a panhandle punk band from Pensacola, Florida.

Barry Lynn

The best-known Boxcutter project is the dubstep producer Barry Lynn from Northern Ireland, who works under the Boxcutter name. He is described as one of the main figures in the Irish dubstep scene and makes music that combines heavy basslines with a broader electronic approach. His sound is associated with dubstep while also drawing on elements at the margins of electronica and IDM, and it is noted for crossing over to listeners who also respond to artists such as Burial and VEX'D.
