Kid Loco
An easy-listening trip-hopster similar in style and intent to his countrymen Air and Dimitri from Paris, Kid Loco has an even stronger kinship with the long tradition of French pop characterized by Serge Gainsbourg. Otherwise known as Jean-Yves Prieur, he began playing the guitar at the age of 13 and played in several French punk groups during the early '80s. He moved on to production as well by the end of the decade, and moved on to reggae and hip-hop with a band named Mega Reefer Scratch.

Daniel Dexter
Daniel Dexters connection to the music can be pursued back into the 80's. After he became enthusiastic at first for Punk, he discovered gradually the fascination which radiated from the new electronic music. Particularly both the measure-compatible and radical Melange from pop- and machinelike sound of acts like Kraftwerk, New Order or Depeche mode shaped him strongly. This fascination found its continuation in the 90's with the new electronic Pop Acts such as Daft Punk or the Chemical Brothers. Both his own productions and DJ sets reflect all these influences again.
