I keep myself busy and keep myself out of trouble by writing new songs. I am connected to my family, friends and fans and my Black And White Album and tracks are my life experiences. I live and breathe music and its in my blood and Rap - HipHop is the fire that fuels it.

My music has brought me many places around the world and I am going to take it further by completing my next album. Skies the limit when you put dedication and perseverance together. Just wait and see I will take us to even more places - nothing will stop me.

When I am done we are going everywhere twice or three times around the world.

'Furyon' is a progressive groove rock/metal band from the south of England formed in the late 2005 by seasoned musicians who are no strangers to the live scene around Europe.

Since the previous self release of the EP '32 Hours', the band has had a line-up change and is as solid as ever with comparisons so far of a great blend of classic old school influences infused with the modern styles of the likes of 'Tool' and 'Dream Theater'

With the recent download release of the single 'Souvenirs', 'Furyon' looks forward to taking it to the road and bringing it to the masses.

Vincent Van Gogh “loved life so bad, his paintings had twice the color other paintings had”. So sings Jonathan Richman (on Rockin’ and Romance).

And that tells you something about musician Allison Crowe.

A modern lover of music, blogger Muruch frames it like this: "There's really no way to convey through mere words how much the music... moves me, or how I want other people to listen to and adore it as much as I do. Allison sings with such an intensity of emotion, it's easy to see why she's often quoted as saying 'Why music? Why breathing?'... that kind of artistic passion seems extremely rare these days."

"I love singing for people," says Allison Crowe. "It's a way to connect and share with others. Communication is crucial. Just being able to do what I do, to write and sing and perform, makes me feel not only alive, but incredibly lucky. Knowing at any moment everything could change, I don't take one second for granted."

Born 26 years ago, on an island, in the harbour city of Nanaimo, B.C., today Crowe's reach is global. The audience for her music videos and song downloads numbers in the millions.

"Allison Crowe has a voice to fall in love with," says UK music industry journal Record of the Day. "She is from Vancouver Island in Canada, descended from Scottish, Irish and Manx stock. She's exactly the sort of artist who can make serious headway on her own label and that's just what she's doing."

When this phenomenon 'from the islands' reached the mainland she steered a path clear of what Joni Mitchell knowingly calls the record industry’s “style inventions”. With Ani DiFranco and Loreena McKennitt as models Crowe created her own label. Since 2003, Rubenesque Records Ltd has released five critically and commercially successful albums: Lisa's Song+ 6 Songs; Secrets; Tidings; Live at Wood Hall; and This Little Bird.

"The first thing you notice about Allison Crowe is her voice. Rich and dark, it seems to come from a place most singers can only dream of accessing. Then there are the songs. Filled with raw passion and accompanied by Crowe's eloquent piano playing," writes Clodagh O'Connell (The Courier). Hers is a joyous sound: "Elton John meets Edith Piaf."

A sensation at the UK’s John Lennon Northern Lights Festival, “Canadian angel Alison Crowe gave one of the weekend's most magical moments," says The Scotsman. Festival Director Mike Merritt describes Crowe as "awesome" and "spine-tingling", noting her performance “put hairs on the back of your neck! She brought the house down."

A true grassroots success, Crowe’s praised not only as a singularly talented songwriter - on themes personal as well as worldly - and as a visceral performer, but, also, as a supreme interpreter of song. Her vital takes on such 21st century standards as Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" and Joni Mitchell's "River" are applauded as "truly transcendent". Her Tidings CD, a mix of traditional carols plus songs of joy, peace, and redemption from the secular songbook, is an emerging classic: "music for the season and all time".

"Her voice celebrates the music with a bluesy rock-gospel intensity; her controlled vibrato, silken rasp, and powerful projection rivet your attention. This is no casual background music. be prepared to be amazed," says Hamline University Professor Of Law - and CD reviewer - Carol Swanson. "Every song radiates sincerity, creative flair, and emotional intensity."

”It takes a lot of self-confidence to tackle Aretha (Franklin)'s version of 'I Never Loved a Man...' but Allison does and nails it just as good as the Queen of Soul herself. Her piano playing is equally exquisite," says Bob Muller, curator of song covers at JoniMitchell.com in his review of Crowe’s newest album, This Little Bird. He sums up: "Treat yourself to one of the mightiest talents on the singer-songwriter scene today."

David Powell, Welsh-based tech writes: "I'm listening to 'Effortless' on (Allison Crowe's) This Little Bird album with my Pro-Ject headphone amplifier turned up about a quarter more than on most modern records. It sounds fantastic because unlike most modern records it hasn't had the **** compressed out of it to raise the loudness."

Vocalist, pianist, guitarist, songwriter, engineer, producer and arranger, Allison Crowe now lives in Nanaimo, British Columbia and Corner Brook, Newfoundland. From these home-bases, (spanning the full 7000 km breadth of Canada), she tours steadily, earning a reputation for exciting live shows that stir together her original songs with much-loved interpretations in an organic blend of rock, jazz, folk, Broadway, gospel and soul.

"Ever wonder what it would have been like to listen to a gifted singer/songwriter from Saskatchewan in a small, intimate hall before she became Joni Mitchell? Don't fret the missed opportunity. There's no need to turn back the clock. Check out Allison Crowe," says Robert Reid in The Record.

"Allison has a special gift that is so very rare in musicians today. She is true to her mind, heart and spirit," says Ross Hocker, long-time public broadcaster with NPR affiliate WGTE. Hocker, whose musical taste embraces Thelonious Monk, Bela Bartok and Charles Gounod, calls Allison Crowe's live performance "the most honest, heartfelt, and directly intimate concert in my entire life."

"In an entertainment world that increasingly genuflects at the altar of instant fame, Crowe seems an anomaly, building her career slowly and carefully," notes Adrian Chamberlain, of Canada's Times Colonist newspaper.

"Soulful. Alive. Joyous. Grievous. Real, true, music is what I want to make," says Allison Crowe.

You can lend an ear...

Spygirl plays lush, melodic, elegant, and dark pop/rock. If Spygirl were a martini, they’d be equal parts sonic assault, naked duets and lush harmonies with a dash of drum & bass, and garnished with a twist of Canadiana - shaken vigorously, of course. If Spygirl were an outfit, you’d look geek-slick, full in all the right places and your ass would look hot.

Spygirl recently completed their second full-length album, pieces of evidence, slated for national release March 2008.

Spygirl was overjoyed to work once again with favourite musical wizard Tom Rothrock, who mixed a few songs on their 2000 self-titled debut. This time he came on board as Producer in full. Mr. Rothrock (who has also created records with some of popular music’s great recent innovators such as Beck, Elliott Smith, Elbow, Sloan, Badly Drawn Boy and James Blunt) helped the band create a spontaneous, relaxed and raw recording, due in part to his laid back mix of confidence, spontaneity, knowledge and love of music, and in part to recording much of the album live off the floor. The result is a group of songs that belong together, sharing a landscape that is lush, melodic, elegant and dark.

This is the band’s 12th year. The Vancouver-based 6 piece group was born out of a musical bond between founders Koralee Tonack (lead vocals, guitar) and Jane Gowan (trumpet, keyboards). The two initially formed Time Waits - the acoustically charming mother of today’s luscious pop child. The group included Jon Roper (guitar), performing mostly original songs written by Gowan. Several recordings were released on cassette. Now those are hidden away in boxes...somewhere. Eventually James Ong (keyboards) and Eduardo Ottoni (drums) joined, and with a fuller sound developing, the band released their debut CD entitled This Thin Disguise.

A collective desire to streamline the sound resulted in a less acoustic, more pop/rock sound. The viola da gamba and accordion, previously played by Ong and Gowan respectively, were abandoned in favour of keyboards, fender rhodes and trumpet. By this time other band members had begun contributing to the songwriting, creating excitement and freshness. As the direction of the music changed, so did the name, and the band’s self-titled debut (informally known as The Yellow Album) was recorded just as the transformation to Spygirl took place. The disc was nominated for a West Coast Music Award and also gained much positive media attention.

In 2005 Al MacInnes (bass) joined the band to add substance to the style. Now with a full line-up to carry the tunes, Spygirl released a 5-song EP as a precursor to the full-length album in August, 2005. The songs on this disc are homages to the band’s constant quest for the perfect pop epic. All the tracks from this disc were re-recorded on pieces of evidence.

Spygirl has toured in Canada and the UK, and plans to be out on the road again in early 2008 to support the new album.

Noiseprint: Noiseprint is the sound of the videogames you used to play as a child, tears before bedtime, violins and silver screens and the soft pulse of projectors.

This is our debut EP Please enjoy.

x Aidan and Jamie

Based in London and Brighton Nosieprint is the combined forces of singer/producer Aidan Neeson and co producer & visual artist Jamie Dale.
Originally the pair met in New Zealand while studying music production together at college. After their initial conception the two recorded a collection of songs that were never released.
In 2007 the pair who had both coincidentally found themselves wandering the streets of London reunited and Noiseprint was born. Their debut EP "Paper Garden" is a rich tapestry of lush production, melodic melancholy and their own eclectic blend of electronica. To simply cast them into the Electro Pop category would not do them justice. With influences ranging from 80s New Wave, Film Noir soundtracks and an avid interest in art supplies it is fair to say they have their own sound which is both as refreshing as it is unique. Noiseprint are a very welcome addition to the overcrowded mantle piece of today’s music.

LamRatLazIt1st is a half-British, half South American three piece progressive / post punk band comprising Wagner (drums/vocals), Matthew (guitar/vocals) and Keith (bass/vocals).

The band was formed around September 2006 and immediately embarked on a punishing rehearsal / writing schedule. A series of shows across the south of England, though chiefly in London, followed, before a short tour of Brazil in March 2007. Since then, the band have been hard at work completing their debut recording, "Viver Sem Fronteiras?" which is now available on Tuneless Records. The record collates much of the original material written by the band and weaves this together with a series of audio samples and graphics culled from the aforementioned Brazilian tour.

At the time of writing, the band are promoting "Viver Sem Fronteiras" and preparing to regroup, once the inherent logistical difficulties have been addressed. Keep checking the MySpace page for further updates!

With life spinning out of control on tour in the UK as "The Ryecatchers," Danny and Mark decided it was time for a change… Returning to Vancouver, Danny bumped into an old flame, Shannon, and after a few drinks she decided she would rather be in a band than a relationship with him. Danny reluctantly agreed, phoned Mark, and formed Danny Echo in the fall of 2005! Since then the Vancouver music scene has embraced the incredible vibe of Danny Echos’ rock and rollio presence. “Half the audience knows the words better than I do,” Danny said at a recent Railway club show. And even if they don’t know the songs, audiences still get into the energy and sounds of Danny Echo. With influences drawing from the greats like The Rolling Stones, The Who, The Beatles, Radiohead, Oasis, and U2, Danny Echo reverberates with all that is melodic, all that is catchy, and all that is rock and roll. As Mark observed, "it's all that it should be, damn it!! In between rockin' out around Western Canada and playing around Vancouver, a 5 song EP has been recorded and is now available for download at dannyecho.com. The full length album is currently being written and arranged, and will be out in time for Christmas - but only if you behave yourselves, you spoiled little brats!

Hi Im vinylmatt I started mixing when I was 13, I had some soundlab dlp3's, worst decks ever, and however I learnt to mix on them. Then for my 15th Bay I got 1210s and a brand new Gemini ps-626 mixer. When I got on the 1210s I noticed the difference it was like where have you been all my life. Once I got settled on the 1210s I started doing parties for my friends every weekend. After a couple of months of parties I just started to get addicted to the crowd and want more & more, so I joined DJ college where they taught me how to program a set and design my own flyers etc. They also set up a night @ Cahoots & the Boomerang each week to gain experience. Then after 1yr the tutor asked us to do our final 30 minute set and the student with the most overall points for all his mix tapes finished top of the class and won a guest slot for 2 hrs @ heaven & hell on Easter weekend all nighter, My heart was racing on the last day all day, then came the results...... I won. I couldn’t believe it my dreams were coming true. Once I did the set I got that feeling again for more, more, more!!!! So I just kept getting as many nights as I could Insomnia, Sanctuary, The Residence, Bar B,The Cube and Club Ampersand.I just kept doing this until I reached 22 then I decided I want more knowledge about music so I went and did a course in Electronic Music Production @ SSR.I am currently making my own tracks. I should have it on myspace soon. My music styles are-: House, Funky House, Pumping House, Electro House, Trance, Hard Trance and Dance I also do commercial House if needed e.g. (Fedde Le Grand & David Guetta) IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED IN BOOKING ME JUST EMAIL

“Won’t you come back home? Well, I don’t think so.” This telling exchange from “Run From Safety” epitomizes the ethos of Octoberman’s Marc Morrissette. In 2003, the itinerant songwriter abandoned his Vancouver home, took a break from his band, Kids These Days, and departed for travels through Asia and Europe. When Morrissette returned to North American shores, he arrived bearing a travel journal blackened with observations and reflections. These insights would soon become the basis of Octoberman’s critically-acclaimed 2005 debut, These Trails Are Old and New.

Embodying the sensibilities of Neil Young’s songcraft and Jack Kerouac’s travelogues, These Trails won widespread praise from Uncut, Maverick, The Globe and Mail and dozens of other publications. Just as Morrissette’s penchant for melancholic vocals and melodic guitar work caught the ears of critics, it won the hearts of audiences. The songwriter established Octoberman as a live institution in Vancouver, sometimes taking to the stage with a seven-piece backing band and on other occasions with nothing more than an acoustic guitar and harmonica. 2006’s seven-song, live-recorded Laguardia EP ideally encapsulated the intimacy and immediacy of these solo Octoberman performances.

However, employing a full band to expand upon his spare arrangements had opened Morrissette’s eyes to the possibilities for Octoberman’s second full-length album. Between March and August 2006, he retreated to three studios in Vancouver with co-producer and engineer James Henderson and captured his musical musings. Along for the ride were his regular backing band: Rob Josephson (drums), and Graham Christofferson (bass); as well as other common collaborators: Peter Doig (guitar), Leah Abramson (vocals), Shaun Brodie (trumpet), Kris Hooper (lap steel), Jason Starnes (keyboards), Mike Morrissette (vocals), Ryder Havdale (vocals) and C.L. McLaughlin (vocals).

Upon first listen, it’s evident that Run From Safety is not only an album title but also a bold statement of intent. It sublimely captures the sound of an artist abandoning the tried and true and striking out in unknown directions. While still fuelled by wanderlust, Octoberman’s music continues to remind us that not all journeys can be measured by distance alone. Run From Safety brims with inspired instrumentation, accomplished orchestration and newfound urgency. Furthermore, it sees Morrissette bringing the indie pop sensibility of his Kids These Days material back to the fore. Fans of Stephen Malkus’ wordplay, Bright Eyes’ earnestness and Elliott Smith’s tunefulness will find themselves readily enthralled with Octoberman’s latest offering.

“I need some inspiration in my life,” Morrissette confides in “By The Wayside.” Such motivation manifests itself with Calexico-like southwestern cinematics complete with brass flourishes. Such atmospherics resurface later with the tumbleweed menace of “Cisco Kid.” Meanwhile, a gift for clever turns of phrase is evidenced on “Run From Safety” which evokes lovelorn gypsy boys, grandmotherly gifts and jurisdictions that “bleed with conviction.” “No Qualms” attempts to offer assurances in the face of insecurities. “Elbow Room” provides an autobiographical account of helplessness. Elsewhere, the loping “Impossible Way” channels Bob Dylan while “Shit Just Falls Apart” offers astute indictments sugared by rousing pop. “Chasing Ambulances” brings proceedings to a heartfelt, whisper-quiet close.

Morrissette proves exceedingly skilled at conjuring both the wariness and weariness of a man who’s seen the world. Yet, despite intense explorations, he’s come away with little in the way of certainties or answers. Instead, every discovery begets further questions. It’s these quandaries and conflicts that continue to drive the man and his music. Once Octoberman made the decision to run from safety, turning back was not an option. Upon mastering his new album, Morrissette quit his job and embarked on a European tour that lead him through five countries in five weeks. He next crossed the Atlantic, climbed into his Volkswagen and toured the continental United States. One can only imagine the inspiring questions that were raised along the way.

Kuai Zi were formed out of necessity from the Beijing live music scene. Front man Skott Taylor and lead guitarist Mike/Noah met in 2003 while living in China and have since then been playing their unique style of Blues Rock Hip Hop across the world. Skott (Vancouver Island, Canada) and Mike/Noah (Shrewsbury, UK) first met and started playing acoustic sets at the only Open Mic in Beijing, which Skott founded and hosted. Soon after, they were playing their infectious original songs to a packed house of which most were singing along. Coming to the realization that their music had become bigger than the acoustic duo had planned, the pair set off to London UK to find the missing members and take their music to the next level.

Upon arriving in London Skott and Mike/Noah set off to establish themselves on the London Open Mic circuit, playing as much and as often as they could in hopes of meeting any potential new band mates. In time they met up with an old Beijing friend, Gilo “DJ DMT” Cheney (Hong Kong S.A.R.) who was more than up for throwing down some bass lines and filling out the sound. Through Gilo, Ric Nash (Edinburgh, Scotland) was introduced and the final piece to the Kuai Zi puzzle was found. Ric, who is a student at London’s S.O.A.S. University, also has ties to China having spent a year studying in China’s capital.

Drawing from a number of influences and musical methods ranging from Rock to Blues to Jazz to Hip Hop, Kuai Zi has a style that’s hard to nail down. They have been compared to the likes of Jack Johnson, Weezer, Beck and Dave Matthews Band with hints of Hip Hop lyricism, but definitely have a style of their own.

From their grassroots of extensive live performance; Kuai Zi has proven that they are more than able to hold down a set with their highly creative and energetic show, all the while keeping the crown on their feet.

Vinson grew up in a musical family near Washington, D.C., studying classical piano from age seven until switching to the drums when he was 12. He played drums for three years in the All-County Jazz Ensemble during high school and subsequently held the drum chair in the University of Pennsylvania Big Band during college. After graduating from UPENN with a B.A. in Economics, Vinson came to New York City in the early 90's to study music at the Mannes College of Music in Manhattan, where he studied with Marvin "Smitty" Smith (of The Tonight Show Band), Vernel Fournier, and Norm Freeman (of the New York Philharmonic).

Vinson has performed in many clubs in the New York Metropolitan area, including the Blue Note, Smoke, Sweet Rhythm, 55 Bar, Birdland, Smalls, Detour, Cornelia Street Cafe, Cleopatra's Needle, and Trumpets of Montclair, NJ. An avid composer, Vinson also teaches privately and served on the staff of the Stanford Jazz Workshop in California from 1999-2001. He has toured throughout North America and Europe with his groups and others, and he appears on Matthew Fries' CD, Song For Today (TCB) and the Ganz Brother's release, First Steps (Extravaganza). Vinson also has three CDs out as a leader, Live@147, Consilience, and Awake.

In addition, Vinson has also worked with or played alongside with many of the great musicians in jazz, such as Grover Washington, Jr., Dakota Staton, Clarke Terry, James Williams, Donald Brown, Harold Mabern, Jr., Jamil Nasser, Ron McClure, Bob Mintzer, Russell Malone, Peter Bernstein, Mark Turner, Terell Stafford, Eric Alexander, Jim Rotundi, David Hazeltine, Joel Frahm, Dena DeRose, and Vincent Herring, and Candido Camero, among others.

Formed in 1996, the two members at the helm being Val Petrov and Edward Platero, and hailing from London, Ontario, Canada, started collaborating together to make their Poptronic-rock sound. In 1997 reel released its first C.D. entitled “Free AS Air” and began playing small clubs and venues. The following two years would find reel playing larger venues and opening for major and international acts as their second disc “Soaring” was released. In 2000 Val and Edward took time to record other groups, and worked in their commercial studio while experimenting on their own creative project which would be released independently in 2006, this time worldwide. The project is “Escape From America”

It’s been a “Short And Sweet” 12 years since three barnyard hooligans known as the MCRACKINS were hatched onto the international punk scene with the release of their official debut full-length album “What Came First?” on Shredder Records in the U.S.A. Although many were at first skeptical of Vancouver, Canada’s mysterious and strange looking pop-punk trio, the 1995 album turned out to be a surprise hit from an unknown band who claimed to have been transformed from men to 2 eggs and a dog and given super pop-punk powers as the result of a freak nuclear accident. Since then, twin eggs Bil (guitar,vocals), Fil (bass) and dog Spot (drums) have continued to amaze, astound and win over music critics and fans alike while building a cult-like following around the world due to the prolific release of 11 great full-length albums,E.P’s, singles, and compilation cd’s too numerous to mention. All told over 100,000 in sales worldwide.

It is a well-known joke (or yolk if you will) that their discography reads like the rap sheet of a seasoned criminal, as they have had over 200 songs released by over 30 different record labels around the planet as approximately 70 separate releases. With sporadic touring throughout their native Canada and the U.S.A up until that point, 1996 saw the band take their hilarious and fun filled live show across the pond to Europe. Dubbed the “European Eggvasion”, the MCRACKINS destroyed 7 countries and even found time to record some live electric and acoustic sessions for the BBC. The years have also seen the band make a few music videos, which have received light to medium rotation on music channels in Canada, U.S.A and Europe, an appearance in a Molson Canadian beer television commercial, a cameo role in a feature motion picture “Downhill Willy”, and various television and radio features.

Although the band has been taking somewhat of a much-needed break from the recording studio over the last few years, they have decided to get “Back To The Crack” with a vengeance. In true MCRACKINS fashion, the band have been hard at work in the studio since October 2004 and have just finished what they have self described as a world class bubblepunk masterpiece of epic proportions. With over 14 months and countless hours invested in this opus, it promises to not disappoint. Their 12th cd which will be called “Bat Out Of Shell”, will be released worldwide later this year by the fine folks at Wynona Records, Italy and will contain 12 new ear buzzin toons with enough hooks and harmonies to make even Brian Wilson smile. A full European tour will follow in Jan/Feb 2007 in support. So “Get Crackin” the MCRACKINS are back!!!!!!!!!!

RECENT 2006 STUFF@NIGHT, BOSTON INTERVIEW!

http://www.stuffatnight.com/rd0405/partying/documents/05211973.asp

DJ Dale Charles started DJ'ing around 1983 at some infamous Summer Beach House parties, playing mostly New Wave including B-52's, The Romantics, Elvis Costello, Rockpile, Buzzcocks, The Beat, The Pretenders, 999, Depeche Mode, The Go-gos and Prince. New Wave was it, a funner, fresh new scene and lifestyle had emerged, the birth era of synth-dance and the 12" remix single.

Connected by fate to the few important New England DJ's including Ed Fritz and Kevin Fennelly, Charles' interests grew stronger as the music grew more interesting. DJ Ed Fritz' "Baptism" and its parties in 1986-88 introduced Dale to the European and US' Techno, Industrial and House scenes. Kevin Fennellys excellent Summer Of 86 club "Level Vibes" also paved the way and inspired those who were lucky to be there.

But it was DJ Ed Fritz who schools all in attendance how to mix three different styles of music on three turntables (SL-1800's) at the same tempo at the same time. This was essentially the definition of "House Music", before it was so called - and the Baptism had taken place. DJ Dale Charles was formally reborn. Then in 1987, seeing it all in action again in Montreal at Club "Business" on St Laurent changed everything. This was it. The calling was about to be answered.

The East Coast residencies began in 1988 - in the small New England towns, on off nights, at first Decadence in Dover, NH, then Zoots Thursdays with Portland Maines Kris Clark. Then south to Bostons Hub Club in 1990-91, now club Felt, for a huge 1000 capacity International Night on Fridays.

On to a big move way out west in the fall of 1991 to San Diego, and the birth of the legendary SoCal and US Rave movement, at first pure in all its forms, joining music lovers together to experience exciting new music, advances in lighting technology, fine-tuned sound systems, and an uninhibited gathering of all races, religions, thinkers and do-ers, perhaps not experienced since the late 60's. It was a cultural phenomenon, a time to meet new people and stay up all hours and experience new music and expressions. DJ Dale Charles was a leading SoCal DJ in 1991-92, headlining most major events with residencies at the famous MicroRaves, Narnia, Opium, Playskool, Rubber, Evar, G.U.N. and countless other one-offs.

News of west coast Raves and its DJ's spread quickly across the US and Dale Charles started booking nationally, then to Mexico, Canada, Asia (sadly cancelled) and nearly every major US destination.

Producing several releases since 1992 as Sedona with Benny Blanco on OHM Records, Boston, and Rampant records LA, Dale Charles has maintained a MIDI synth studio since the late 80's, producing today under the names Too (Element Recordings), Sedona and Time Beings on both Syncopate and most recently Reversible Records.

DJ Dale Charles has DJ'ed with and has DEEP RESPECT for: Evar SD, Wicked SF, Primary UK, Benny Blanco, 333, Mgee, Gatherings SF, Sasha, John Digweed, Frankie Knuckles, Danny Howells, Derrick Carter, Moby, Tiga, Luc Raymond, Micheal Thomas, Tony, Paul Grogan, Barry Weaver, David Morales, Josh Wink, Anne Savage, Luv Dup, Doc Martin, Scott Hardkiss, Dominic UK, Marcus Wyatt, Dmitri from Dee-lite, Lil Louis, Frankie Bones, Adam X, Justin Johnson, Debo, Jellybean Benitez, Mark Farina, Pete Moss, Fred "kooky" Gianelli, Hector Romero, Jimmy Van M, Tin Tin, Taul Paul, Carl Cox, Rick Preston, Daeman, Mark E Quark, Jon Bishop, Thin e thin UK, Q-Bert, De La Soul, Primal Scream, Jonas Temple, Hipp-e, Armand Van Helden, Jeno, Garth, Marky, Joeski, Onionz, Ryde, Chocolate Factory NY, Felix Da Housecat, Brother Cleve, DJ Dan, Kevin Saunderson, LTJ Bukem, DJ Trixie, Misstress"... wanna come to my room and for some Kokanee...?"
