Chase & Status dj set and MC Rage

UK, Ram Records, Vertigo

How many artists / producers can count Jay Z, Snoop Dogg and Pharell as fans as well as drum & bass´ finest Andy C, Hype and Pendulum. This is what Saul Milton and Will Kennard, producing under the name Chase & Status, have achieved in 5 years! Highlights so far are their debut LP "More Than Alot", remixes for Rihanna, The Prodigy and many dancefloor smashers, which has helped turned them into an urban phenomenon, and the biggest crossover act to come out of the underground since Pendulum.

DJ Fresh

UK, Breakbeat Kaos

Genuine Drum & Bass legend in the same way as artists like Roni Size, Goldie or Adam F. It has become very difficult today to listen to a drum set without the sounds of DJ Fresh caressing your ears. However, dj Fresh remains a pioneer and his releases systematically breathe fresh air onto the drum & bass scene. DJ Fresh serves up drum & bass that explores horizons that, until now, have been ignored by this musical genre. Electro, hip hop, jazz, metal and funk are mixed together in a frenzied rhythm with the traditional sounds of Ragga, drum break beats and a BPM never below 160. dj Fresh is definitely the crème de la crème of drum & bass producers.

Hazard

Hazard needs no introduction – king of the dancefloor, tracks like "Busted" and "Mr Happy" cemented his reputation as one of the heaviest producers in drum & bass. Signed exclusively to DJ Hype´s Playaz label, Hazard rocketed to the very top of his game, both in terms of producion and his own DJ career which has seen him travel the globe, doling out masses of bass-fuelled pain to unsuspecting ravers worldwide.

Xample & Lomax

UK, Ram Records

Xample and Lomax had since joined forces in 2007, and their sound was an instant success, combining the raw dancefloor sound of Xample with Lomax´s musical edge. Ram soon saw the massive potential of this collaboration, which lead to their first single on Ram, "Lowdown/The Latter" which was released in May 2007 to heavy dancefloor exposure and great reviews. "Contra/Keep Their Heads Ringin& was the follow up single and confirmed Xample & Lomax as a major force on the Drum and bass scene. Big things are expected from their debut album which will follow on the success of label mates Chase & Status and Subfocus.

Jaydan

Jaydan Aka Jamie Cope is one of the fast rising stars in the dnb scene!

One87

BE, Critical, Star Warz

One87 bought his first records when he was 10 years old and started DJ´ing when he was 15; Solid breakbeats & phat basslines were the things in music that attracted him the most. Little later, One87 started playing Jungle... what became drum & bass later on... which made his name well known in Belgium & beyond. After promoting his first events, he formed the Millennium Kru with Daviz & Mc Soul somewhere in the late nineties! Back then it was one of the most skillful & diverse drum & bass sound systems around. It was also around that same time that One87 created "Star Warz" (in association with Mr M from Kozzmozz), without a doubt one of the finest Drum & bass concepts in Belgium! In the beginning of 2008 One87 decided to go solo again, with over 750 Jungle/Drum & bass DJ-sets under his belt. One87 has also been producing his own music lately and signed some tunes on Critical Music, Vampire Records and Nemesis Recordings recently.
