Sharks took the Rest are a North-East (England) based band brought together by songwriters Beccy Owen and Adam Kent. The band make original music that takes a certain influence from many different genres, including pop, alternative rock, ambient, electronic, classical, folk and trip hop. They have been described as 'something special...sublime bliss' (Journal Live), 'a revelation' (The Crack) and 'a cross between Joanna Newsom fronting an unplugged Cocteau Twins' (www.thenationalstudent.co.uk)

Manes started around the end of 1992/early 93. It started as a project with Sargatanas on vocals and Cern on guitars, synths, programming etc. – basically everything besides the vocals. With that line-up Manes recorded the three demos „Maanens natt” (93), „Ned i stillheten” (94) and „Til kongens grav de døde vandrer” (95). The two first demos was later re-released by the Hammerheart Records sub-label „Unveiling the Wicked” in 98.

For almost 15 years Marko Milicevic (aka Marko Hollywood) has been working as a Dj.

(Get Me Some Money Too)", that brought Gramophonedzie to the lights of the world global house scene and got him signed with Virgin/Positiva records.

Dr. Octagon is one of Kool Keith's many alter egos. His initial release as Dr. Octagon was 1996's Dr. Octagonecologyst, on which he collaborated with Dan the Automator Nakamura and DJ QBert. After the name was dropped in favour of Dr. Dooom, it was widely believed that it wouldn't be used again until the release of 2006's The Return of Dr. Octagon, which Keith maintains was changed and released without his consent.
