DJ Hyper

Страна : Англия

Город : Лондон

Музыкальное направление : Breaks

27-летний Guy Hatfield является одним из лидирующих в мире дискжокеев и продюсеров в стиле breakbeat. Его выдающиеся компиляции Y3K были распроданы рекордными тиражами по всему миру, а его сборник Bedrock Breaks окончательно раскрыл глаза всей музыкальной общественности на стиль breaks. Его собственная промо-компания Waxworks до сих пор является самой крупной в стиле breaks за последние 5 лет. Его нашумевший лэйбл Kilowatt издает таких известных музыкантов, как Terminal Head, General Midi, Dan F, Stir Fry, Fatliners, False Prophet. Его второй сборник тАЬBedrock Breaks 2 тАУ Hyper compiled&mixedтАЭ, записанный на лэйбле John DigweedтАЩа тАЬBedrockтАЭ в 2003 году навсегда определил статус этого легендарного музыканта.

Начав тусоваться по андеграундным deep-house рэйвам в 1992 году, HyperтАЩу скоро наскучил растущий коммерческий резонанс вокруг этой сцены и он обратил свое внимание на breakbeat & hip-hop, который зарождался вокруг лэйбла Джэймса Лавэля тАЬMoтАЩWaxтАЭ в начале 90-х.

Получив работу в лондонском филиале Sony, Guy стал делиться своей любовью к hip-hop, electro & breaks со всем миром. Вдохновленный появлением нового звучания в breakbeat-музыке, он открывает свою собственную клубную промо-компанию тАЬWaxworksтАЭ.

Guy сразу же стал играть свои dj-сеты по просьбе Lee Burridge в его воскресных сессиях тАЬTyrantтАЭ в Atlantis Bar на Baker Street в Лондоне. Вскоре он стал резидентом ночей тАЬTyrantтАЭ совместно с Lee Burridge & Craig Richards в клубе тАЬThe BombтАЭ в Ноттингеме.

Hyper регулярно гастролирует в США, где является одним из наиболее востребованных breaks диджеем, постоянно выступая в тАЭSpundaeтАЭ и являясь квартальным резидентом в самом лучшем и крупном клубе Америки тАУ тАЬBuzzтАЭ в Вашингтоне.

Также он выступает повсюду в Европе и является резидентом в клубе John DigweedтАЩа тАЬBedrockтАЭ. Kilowatt Records совместно с Acetate ltd. организовывают ежемесячную вечеринку тАЬTwisterтАЭ в легендарном лондонском клубе тАЬTurnmillsтАЭ. Hyper также регулярно выступает в известном клубе тАЬAgathaтАЭ в Риме, помогая развивать breaks в смеси с house ритмами в Италии.

2004 год показал, что Hyper тАУ один из самых трудолюбивых и востребованных дискжокеев во всем мире. Он выступил везде тАУ от Японии до Германии, от Гонконга до Китая, от США до Сербии (Exit Festival), от островов Фаре до Австралии. Весной 2004 года Hyper несколько месяцев жил жизнью рок-звезды, являясь официальным разогревающим диджеем в 46-концертном турне по США группы тАЬThe Crystal MethodтАЭ. Тур-автобус, минимум сна, бесконечные переезды - но все это было не зря. Результат - аншлаговые концерты каждую ночь!

В 2005 году Hyper продолжает гастролировать в Австралии, Великобритании и США, где уже играет перед концертом группы тАЬThe ProdigyтАЭ.

Cборники Y3K, которые выпустил Hyper на лэйбле тАЬDistinctive BreaksтАЭ, был названы самыми важными breaks-альбомами и номинировались альбомами месяца в таких изданиях, как тАЬDJтАЭ. тАЬMuzikтАЭ, тАЬMixmagтАЭ, тАЬWaxтАЭ и тАЬMinistryтАЭ. Альбомы тАЬBedrock BreaksтАЭ даже превысили тиражи Y3K.

Но самый главный альбом вышел в 2004 году. Это двойной cd тАЬWiredтАЭ, изданный на собственном лэйбле HyperтАЩa тАЬKilowattтАЭ (номинация тАЬкомпиляция № 1 за 2004 годтАЭ в журнале тАЬM8 MagazineтАЭ). В этой компиляции искусно перемешаны жанры, темпы и настроения, показывая лучшее звучание стиля breaks на данный момент. И если вы думали, что Sugar Babes это откровенная попса, то послушайте ремикс HyperтАЩa на песню тАЬStuck in the middleтАЭ (cd 2, track 7). Guy никогда не думал, что этот альбом станет таким хитовым. Он рассказывает: тАЬЯ был приятно удивлен, насколько глобально он разошелся, как в смысле продаж, так и в моем развитии как продюсера. С самого начала он подразумевался как американский релиз, чтобы представить мою музыку в Штатах, но он очень круто разошелся также в Великобритании, Австралии и Азии. Сейчас я концентрируюсь на своем сольном альбоме между очень напряженным гастрольным расписанием и работой над ремиксами для таких музыкантов, как BT, Crystal Method, Sugar Babes, Pink, Paul Van Dyke, Sarah McLachlan. Я провожу круглосуточно время в студии, Leeroy Thornhill из The Prodigy будет записывать вокал на несколько треков, все остальное делаю я сам. Поверьте, на этом альбоме вы услышите несколько сюрпризовтАЭ

The Fat! Agency is supremely proud to welcome Musician, Producer and DJ, Chris Carter on board the hallowed Fat! vessel. Chris is a widely respected DJ and Producer who is currently making serious waves with his current studio collaboration тАШRoxillerтАЩ with JHz. Roxiller have recently contributed music for the new Sony PSP game 'Wipeout' & there is a significant buzz surrounding their current tune тАШArchangel/Big Chat VersionтАЩ. With a stack of positive press & more superb releases in the pipeline, itтАЩs clear these guys are gaining some powerful momentum.

Over the years Chris Carter has had a steady stream of releases on a number of UK based breaks labels. Jointly responsible (with BLIM) for one of the break sceneтАЩs biggest vocal tracks (as Kasha on тАЩUтАЩ, featuring Shara Nelson) he has since had releases on TCR, Botchit + Scarper, Forged, En:Vision, Secret Agent, Track, and his own co-run Record Records amongst others earning him a reputation as a master of well-crafted dancefloor tunes. He has also done extensive remix work for labels such as Botchit, Passenger and Forged.

"In the last few years we were working with almost 100 great musicians on our Ablak-A-Dubra night, but Chris is one of the few crazy heads, who achieved the honorary resident status on our Ablak-A-Dubra night. Brilliant musician!" Kevin / Fine Cut Bodies (Hungarian Promoter)

In 2005 he co-established the Record Records label, intended as an outlet for his own material, as well as Roxiller, and other future collaborations. In addition to he is a pivotal member of Rennie Pilgrem's TCR All Stars in which he plays the guitar!

тАЬThe first time we played together (he'd only been playing for a year) was in Rome and I'm ashamed to say that he was already better than me technicallyтАЭ. Rennie Pilgrem (on Chris CarterтАЩs DJ skills)

What makes Chris so special as a DJ is his ability to draw his crowd in without resorting to the clichÈd and the obvious - and take them on a musical journey. He has a distinct and unique sound that has seen him tour extensively through Europe as well as the USA , Japan and Australia . There is quite simply no-one quite like him. His mixes have been aired on radio stations such as Radio1, Kiss, Ministry, Groovetech and stations across Europe.

тАЬHad the pleasure of hearing Chris play a few years back at Revolver in Melbourne alongside Danny Macmillan (2002) and would say his 2002 Melbourne show was easily my favourite breaks show of the year, his psy-tech-rolling-nuskool beats had me on the bouncing the whole set!тАЩ Chris Mitchell / Fractured (Australian Promoter)

DJ fans of Carter include Rennie Pilgrem, BLIM, Laurent Garnier, Adam Freeland, Meat Katie, Hybrid, and Koma + Bones to name just a few.

Merka

Merka, real name Mark Ford, originally from Somerset, has now set out his stall of Breaks in London, and is set to cause some serious heavyweight damage. Merka turned heads in 2004 with his awesome tear out anthem, Holding On released on Re:Connect, and appeared on The FreestylersтАЩ Fabriclive 19 CD.

More recently, Merka provided a taster of his filthy funk with his wobbly remix of Chunk Style by Fat!тАЩs fellow new signing, B-Phreak. In September Merka drops his Fat! debut тАШHug A SpeakerтАЩ which will be closely followed by another 12тАЭ тАШMystic ManтАЩ due for release later in the year.

DJ Mutiny


Страна : Англия

Город : Лондон

Музыкальное направление : Breaks

As a London teenager obsessed with hip-hop, old soul, jungle and his guitars, DJ Mutiny (Carlos) was introduced to the world of music production through a friend at college who had a very old and basic PC studio... Immediately transfixed, he suddenly found himself locked in a world of beats, staying awake into the early hours learning the ropes.

After college and into paid employment, Carlos managed to scrape some money together to buy an Akai S3000xl. He started to put together a little project studio, consisting of the sampler, a Yamaha digital desk, a Proteus 2000 sound module and, later, a Novation Supernova pilfered off Deekline and some compressors. Having started producing drumтАЩnтАЩbass, he moved into breakbeat after a brief flirtation with the darker, experimental side of garage (his earliest release, 'Combat', in 1999, was an experimental electro-jungle-meets-garage roller that, while fairly shoddily engineered, was a killer groove!)

Meanwhile, the breakbeat scene was asserting itself, with the likes of FreQ Nasty and Chris Carter putting out some incredible tracks. Furthermore, people like Deekline were starting to bring breaks to the pirate radio audience, opening up a whole new arena. DJ MutinyтАЩs first breaks release was 'Latin Break' (Dig the Funk EP) on DeeklineтАЩs SubFunk label in early 2001.

Soon after, Carlos hooked up with like-minded West London producer DJ Quest. Working together on Cyberfunk and Funkatech, they released a whole host of quality bass-driven tracks such as Mutiny's 'Soul Deception' and '4-Play', Quest's 'Electric Love' and 'Fuct Beat' and L-Jay's 'Nu Wayz'.

Mutiny now owns and runs Funkatech Recordings, along with Cubit and Incyte. The label continues to be a pioneer in the breaks scene, with support coming from most of the big names in breaks. The Funkatech team have also recently launched a new label, Sub Frequency Funk, to push the more soulful end of breaks. Early dubplates have been getting rinsed by the likes of The Freestylers, Tayo, Aquasky, Skool of Thought, DJ Quest, The Breakfastaz, Ed209, Deep Impact and others.

Meanwhile DJ Mutiny has been busy with a number of tracks/remixes on other reputable breaks labels, including Supercharged, Hardcore Beats, Against the Grain, Lot49, Cyberfunk, Sound of Habib, Mechanoise and Wireframe.

He has DJed all over England, as well as Europe, the US and Australia/NZ.

By 1993 J-Bass started out as a Drum and Bass DJ, but was irrestibly drawn to breakbeat as the scene matured in 1997.

He had his own radio show which ran for 3 years alongside Drum n Bass veteran Goldie and hard house legend - Tall Paul on London Pirate, Touchdown FM (1991-1994). He's also played out at clubs, raves and parties in the UK, Germany and Spain and hosts the weekly Born Idle Records Show on iBreaks.co.uk every Monday between 8pm and 10pm (UK GMT) - live.

Friendly


Страна : Англия

Город : Лондон

Музыкальное направление : Breaks

Friendly is Andrew Kornweibel, a breaks producer and DJ originally from Australia, now holding down the breaks scene in East London. With world class production, a keen eye for dancefloor sensibilities, and a penchant for naming his tracks after shady sexual references, Friendly is the new kid on the block party, and is quickly establishing himself as a major player in breaks.

Friendly works very closely with Fat! Records and Fat head Paul Arnold. HeтАЩs a resident at Chew the Fat! nights, recently gaining residency at The End nightclub in London, the first time breaks has been hosted in the main room. HeтАЩs also played at every shady dive and backroom in London, from the striped-shirt and тАШniceтАЩ shoes disaster that is Ministry of Sound, through to disused toilets in Shoreditch, at Cargo, The Key, the Bug Bar, Herbal, EC1, around the UK, Budapest, St Petersburg and back to Australia numerous times.

His single Fetish was released on TCR, undoubtedly one of the biggest and most respected breaks labels in the world. It fattened the airwaves and tore it up in clubs, with five star reviews in DJ Mag, and full support from leading breaks jocks and Annie Nightingale on BBC1. The single was the last to come off his тАЬTen Things You Need To Know About FriendlyтАЭ album, which was released on Fat! Records early 2004. The album garnered a string of cracking reviews from Q Mag, DJ Mag, IDJ, MixMag, Jockey Slut, and Friendly was hotly tipped as тАШone to watchтАЩ in 2004 in DJ Mag and IDJ. The previous singles off the album included 2Black2Gay, S&M and Glottal Stomp, all on Fat! Records, all of which gained support and plays from the likes of the Plump DJs, Freq Nasty, Meat Katie, Rennie Pilgrem, and Phil Hartnol from Orbital, through to Sasha and James Zabiela.

Just after releasing the album, Friendly was awarded Best Newcomer at the 2004 International Breakbeat Awards. Not bad for his third album. He was also nominated for Best Remix for 2Black2Gay, and Best Single for Glottal Stomp. Also featured on the album were bootlegs of LFO by LFO and On A Ragga Tip by SL2, both of which started their lives as illegal remixes, and gained approval and support from the labels and artists concerned. Friendly has also (legally) remixed the likes of Smithmonger, Simply Jeff (US), Flint, Toby Neal, Presser, and DeeklineтАЩs Booty Bouncer project.

His single The Bump and Grind has become a success of extraordinary proportions, being solidly smashed on National radio, arousing maximum euphoria on dance floors around the globe & provoking admiration from every corner of the industryтАж

тАШBump N Grind is the best track from Friendly so far, played it every set since I got it. EssentialтАЩ Rennie Pilgrem

Previously, in Australia, Friendly enjoyed massive success on his own label, and then on Zomba Records, being their first Australian signing ever. He was nominated for an ARIA Award (equivalent to the Brit Awards), and the singles were literally flogged on radio and music television. As a four piece live act, Friendly toured with the Big Day Out three years running, and headlined national tours. The album Akimbo entered the national charts at 22.

Recently, Friendly scooped the likes of Evil 9, Freq Nasty, James Zabilia and The Freestylers for a spot in the top ten breaks DJs as voted by fans on the Breakspoll website, going on to be nominated best DJ.

With the first Chew the FAT! Compilation CD released on 11th April 2005, followed by an international tour, Friendly continues to spread his love for breakbeat to an eager audience. With another artist album brewing, a string of splendid new bootys and a new track to be included on the forthcoming Sony Playstation game things couldnтАЩt be brighter for the affable one.

Dopamine


Dopamine is a chemical naturally produced in the body.
Dopamine is commonly associated with the 'pleasure system' of the brain.
Dopamine is critical to the way the brain controls our movements.

With 10 years experience behind the decks and a history of churning out big techno tracks,
the progression to breaks has seen Matt bringing fresh and exciting elements to the genre. Obsession set in and for 3 years he locked himself away honing his craft and building his home studio - like a mad scientist in his lair.

With his first release 'Hold You' on Thursday Club Records (TCR), dopamine's history with
electro and techno is hammered home for a solid and relentless 7 minutes of electro/tech
influenced breakbeat badness. When that bass kicks in you know this is no ordinary dancefloor monster. It's currently being caned by Rennie Pilgrem, Plump DJs, Clive Morley, Stanton Warriors, High Eight, POD, Atomic Hooligan and Jay Cunning so you know it's huge.

Dopamine now has a new home away from home with Title Fight Recordings run by Klaus Heavyweight Hill. Title Fight allows Matt to really explore the tougher side of breaks whilst keeping his trademark electro funk style intact. Expect even bigger things from dopamine and the rest of the awesome Title Fight crew in the immediate future.

Dopamine is also doing collaborations and has releases and remixes coming up on Menu Music and
Sound Of Habib. The future is looking bright for the boy from Oz.

Precision Cuts


Precision Cuts are Tam Cooper, Jem Haynes and Joe Gray. They formed in 1999 and immediately made an impression on the breaks scene with a string of releases on octagon records and a rash of dj gigs in London where they played sets made up of hi octane breakbeat and a huge pile of their own dubplates of their own new and innovative tracks.

Precision cuts are one of a handful of truly original Breakbeat artists. They have a sound of their own which is instantly recognisable without resorting to a тАЬformulaтАЭ Emotion is an important part of the PC sound, rolling beats and subbass are others. Rennie pilgrem calls the PC drum sound тАЬthe wall of drumsтАЭ and you can see why.
Precision Cuts are actually trying to answer the question тАЬwhere does dance music go from here?тАЭ

Their unique sound has attracted attention from djs including The Plump Djs, James Zabiela, Groove Armada, Hybrid, The Stanton Warriors, Layo and Bushwacka!, Freq Nasty, PMT, Meat Katie, Tayo, Will Saul, Adam Freeland and Rennie Pilgrem.

Precision Cuts have released records through a multitude of labels including Octagon, Simple , Streetwise, Marine parade, Mob, Pocket Rocket, Exceptional and Stratosphere.
Precision Cuts have remixed artists including Future Sound of London, Smithmonger, Vigi and Nectarios, DJ Krush, Klute and The Groove Diggerz.
PC tracks have been remixed by Rennie Pilgrem, Atomic Hooligan, Vigi and Nectarios, Zero (Emit/Collect) and BerlinтАЩs DJ Phonique.

PC have three ways in which they perform on stage:
Regular dj set, Dex and Fx and last but not least the full live show.
PC play regular dj gigs and have rocked dancefloors at HUM, Fabric, The End, Boomslang, Lovebox weekender, Glastonbury, AIR, Concorde 2 and Chew the Fat. They have monthly residencies at Throb and also the dogstar.
