Prince Paul

Prince Paul (born Paul Huston) is a legendary DJ and hip hop producer. Prince Paul is known for having a very unorthodox, but mostly well-received sense of humor. Musically, he was one of the driving forces of what was to become known as alternative rap, by using surprising samples and quirky humour. Originally a member of Stetsasonic, he produced De La Soul's 1989 debut album 3 Feet High and Rising (It was on this album that Prince Paul invented the hip hop skit which has a long-standing and pervasive tradition on Hip hop albums to this day).

There are several artists named Nail. #1: Nail is a Canadian progressive heavy rock/metal band. After spending several years performing with Canadian multi-platinum recording artists Helix, Nail was formed in 2007 by Rainer and Cindy Wiechmann after their departure from that group. Nail presents a sound that is a considerable departure from the ‘80s “Hair Metal” rock sounds one would associate with Helix, having roots and influences more likely associated with groups like Rush, Black Sabbath, and Tool.

Mightyfools

Mightyfools, you must have heard of them. That crazy Dutch DJ-Duo that is praised by their positive high energy on stage, and their big room sound with heavy basslines. A couple of years ago the two made a quick welcome start in the global dance scene, quickly ganing airplay and massive support from DJ's worldwide which resulted in a jetset lifestyle of nonstop international touring. Reaching the Beatport charts with almost every track they released and flying all over the globe for performances made the years pass by, but not a single day left unnoticed.
