Monkey Mafia
A 90s alias of Jon Carter, for his breakbeat productions as opposed to the house flavoured Junior Cartier project. Inevitably lumped in with the "big beat" movement of the time, although their album Shoot the Boss had a dark mood and heavy dub influence that defied the "cheeky party antics" ethos of the genre.

GraVil
Well it seems people make music nowadays for ALL the wrong reasons, be it money, fame, women or drugs. GraVil are dead set against all of this. Little is known Of Gravil. One very dark night a knock at our door brought a man with sunken eyes and a slightly ferrel look looming through the mist. He handed us a cd, and was gone as soon as he had arrived. Under those circumstances, we could do little but listen. And we savoured every moment. We guessed at the Scandanavian playing and influence, and worked out the very British vocals, and sussed that this was a collaboration, and then some.

Stalingrad Cowgirls
Stalingrad Cowgirls is a punk/rock outfit hailing from a small town of Salla in Finnish Lapland, 60 kilometres north from the Arctic Circle. The three-piece was formed in 2005, and once they soon after left the rural surroundings and hit the road for the first time, they haven’t stopped since. After leaving so many audiences around Finland hungry for more of their hot live action, a vigorous group of record company A&R reps began chasing the girls, who just kept on doing what they know the best - playing rock ‘n’ roll.

Pekko Kappi
"Hello and welcome!
I, Pekko, am a player of Jouhikko – the ancient Finnish-Karelian bowed lyre. My music has been described like this: "In his hands the rough sound of weaved horsehair strings are swaying between the foul and lovely – dirty and pure. The old songs of unwritten tradition, timeless and dark stories mediates in his mouth."
I got involved with the Jouhikko in 1997 in the Ala-K
