Noisia are probably the biggest production collective from The Netherlands in the world of drum & bass. they have proven themselves capable of being very diverse while maintaining a strong foothold in the drum & bass scene and staying true to their signature sound: dirty, but clean. They have made remixes for The Prodigy, Moby, Pendulum, Robbie Williams, ... The same attitude is to be found in their DJ-sets: they play mostly drum & bass, but don't be surprised if you find yourself with your hands in the air when a 4/4 beat at 133 bpm drops in the middle of the set!

They say nothing in life is certain but death and taxes, but Taxman’s success seemed just as certain from the outset. If you’ve been anywhere near a drum & bass dancefloor in the past couple of years then you know this man’s productions, and you’ll have been throwing your arms up and calling for DJs to reload his tracks on more than one occasion! Taxman is none other than the brother of Original Sin. With his own distinctive sound and a string of huge releases including ‘Original Ninja’ and ‘Scan Darker’ under his belt, Taxman is all about facing the future; no doubt his dancefloor killing tracks will be taxing your spare income for years to come!
UK, Hospital Recordings
Jon & Matt have been making beats together since high school and were gathered up into the Hospital fold in summer 2002, after a tip off from High Contrast. With a series of 12"s, remixes and compilation appearances helping to build their diehard underground fanbase. Jon's DJ sets are something to behold too. this man has some serious skills, and he's on a mission to spread the gospel according to CYANTIFIC far and wide.
Rumours are rife; that he practices for over 12 hours per day; that he has magic arms and fingers; that he has special communication links to reptilian beings from another planet. Hospital cannot confirm or deny these rumours.
