Cosmic Kids

Cosmic Kids Ron Poznansky and Dan Terndrup didn’t meet in outer space as their DJ moniker may indicate, but the story is still equally as good. The two met in a high school classroom meant for kids who had trouble paying attention. They bonded over their love of classic rock. Right out of high school they both volunteered to work at the Los Angeles radio station KCRW. Known for its eclectic programming, the friends were exposed to all different kinds of music, and began collecting and consuming records, feeding their ever-expanding appetite for music.

Barbarix

Steven began producing Happy Hardcore at the age of eighteen, which led to him DJ'ing all around the Midlands. After he heard Mary Anne Hobbs on her BBC Radio1 show, however, his whole outlook on music was changed by the sound she was supporting.
