Break [DNAudio/Commercial Suicide/Metalheadz/Quarantine]
Acquiring a love for breakbeat through jazz and funk records, Break took to the drums at a young age, learning piano along the way and taking to the turntables at the age of fourteen.
A talented musician with a wide range of influences, Break looks to push the barriers in whatever he’s doing. Crisp breaks, heavy bass and strong melody are stable marks of his productions making him a firm favourite with a variety of the scenes top DJs.
Break hooked up with the DNAudio crew back in 2001 after meeting Squire through mutual friends. Since then he has played an important role in the label’s expansion, working closely with Silent Witness in developing a fresh & devastating new sound. DJ A-Sides was quick to sign Break’s debut, Cocktail for the ‘East Side Jamz 2’ LP and wasted no time releasing his first solo twelve, ‘Sticky Situation’, the ‘Breakout EP’ and a string of other singles.
His partnership with Silent Witness lead to releases on No U Turn and since then Break hasn’t looked back. As one of the most prolific producers in the scene, long hours in the studio have lead to outings on East Side, Fuze, Commercial Suicide, Quarantine, Critical, Invaderz, Explicit, Subtitles, Metalheadz, Levitated, Shadow Law and DNAudio; all building on Break’s reputation as one of the drum & bass’ hottest new talents.
Now working closely with Fierce and with singer Kyo, Break’s output of songs including ‘the truth’ and ‘standing room only’ show he has no sign of slowing despite a busy DJ schedule that has taken him around Europe and the USA.
DJ Fierce [quarintine/ram/prototype]
There is little introduction needed for the man known as DJ Fierce. After serving his initial apprenticeship in the studios of the legendary No-U-Turn records alongside drum and bass luminaries Nico, Ed Rush and Optical, he
went on to be signed to Grooverider’s Prototype Label at the tender age of 17 years old. Since then, he has produced tunes for many highly regarded labels in the industry including Moving Shadow, Bad Company Recordings, Renegade Hardware and Virus to worldwide acclaim.
2001 saw Fierce move into the next strata with the launch of his own label Quarantine, with the first release being the the almighty “Innocence” produced with DJ Fresh. Described by many as the label that “is bringing the dark funk back to the dancefloor”.
As a DJ, Fierce is second to none, bringing unbridled energy and explosive turntable firepower to the dance floor front
