BCee

In a time where seemingly every DJ and his dog has a record label, it's a real achievement just to stay afloat with so many imprints fighting over a limited stake in the market. However after five years Spearhead Records has rightfully earned an impeccable reputation amongst drum & bass aficionados for releasing consistently great music; from sweet soulful liquid and sparse minimal to full on dance floor workouts.

Logistics

A couple of years ago you could have been forgiven for thinking that the primary meaning of Logistics had something to do with the careful organization of a complicated activity so that it happens in a successful and effective way. How wrong that would have been... and yet how right. Younger brother to Dan Gresham (aka Nu:Tone), Matt Gresham hails from Cambridge and is one of the youngest and fastest rising stars within the scene.
