3) One of Sheffield’s finest young producers, Squarehead, AKA Oliver Ledger, has worked hard to rise through the ranks as swiftly as he has over the last few years. Making his name initially as a DJ Ledger has proven himself more than capable of keeping even the largest crowds moving. Working his way up through the independent promotion companies, he is now a firm Sheffield stalwart playing at different venues on all three days of the recent Tramlines festival. Supporting the likes of Eats Everything, B.Traits, Maya Jane Coles, Pearson Sound, Ben UFO, Breach and Citizen and moving from garage, to house, to disco with ease, he is a firm favourite of most Sheffield clubs.
With his first release, his ‘Move Your Body’ EP, Squarehead proved himself immediately as a promising new talent. With clear influences from the Sheffield bassline and grime scene, he transformed these familiar sounds in to something halfway between a UK Bass sound and something resembling the deep garage-tinged house music of Detroit and other pioneering US cities.
Independently releasing ‘Move Your Body’ through Bandcamp, it wasn’t long before he was noticed and snapped up by increasingly prominent labels. In just two years Ledger has had releases on Wolf Music, Sounds of Sumo, Bad Taste Records and more recently his own imprint 5ANDSEVEN. Providing both the artwork and management for the label, as well as his own tracks, Ledger is proving to be a jack-of-all-trades, whilst clearly mastering more than most people would. Founded in July 2012, 5ANDSEVEN’s first release, a free 4-track E.P from Squarehead provided an insight in to the label’s direction. Their most recent release, Squarehead’s ‘Elegante / Now Is Good’ has received support from some of the biggest names in the industry, including Dirtybird main man Justin Martin, and the inimitable Groove Armada.
As well as his own productions, Squarehead has recently been called in on remix duties for some big names, remixing Viers’ ‘Your Body,’ Ex Presidents’ ‘You Got Me’ and ‘Ride My Junk’ for one of this year’s biggest names: Waze and Odyssey. He also has a forthcoming remix for Lulu James that promises to be a firm favourite of DJs later this year.
Recieving support from some of the biggest DJs on the radio, including another Sheffield legend; Toddla T, as well as Annie Mac, B.Traits, T.Williams and Skream, the hype over Ledger is only growing, and he’s proving himself to be an artist it would be silly to ignore.

Two Miles
Squarehead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When they tell you off and tell you no
Because you went outside
And now you wanna go home
No you went two miles
And now you don′t know
But John, don't you pretend
That you don′t know
Hold your hand out while you can
Because there's nothing in it, is there man?
Because you went outside
And you wanna go home
No you went two miles
And now you don't know
But John, don′t you pretend
That you don′t know
Temper temper on it goes
When they tell you off and tell you no
Because you went outside
And now you wanna go home
No you went two miles
And now you don't know
But John, don′t you pretend
That you don't know
The lyrics to "Two Miles" by Squarehead describe a situation where the singer, John, has gone outside and is now being told off for it. The repeated line "temper temper on it goes" suggests a sense of frustration and annoyance with the situation. John wants to go back home but he has already gone two miles away and doesn't know how to get back. The line "hold your hand out while you can, because there's nothing in it, is there man?" may be a metaphor for John's situation; he's lost, alone and has nothing to hold on to.
The lyrics convey a sense of confusion and helplessness, as John's predicament worsens with each passing moment. His frustration is evident in the repetition of certain lines, emphasizing his agitation with the situation. Despite this, the song ends on a somewhat hopeful note, with the line "but John don't you pretend, that you don't know." This can be interpreted as a call to action for John to take control of the situation and find his way back home.
