DJ Disowned

DJ Disowned has been on the London music scene since the early noughties, playing across numerous squat parties and rave venues. His love of music first started in the mid 90's when he was a regular attender of the infamous Helter Skelter and Dreamscape parties held at the now demolished Sanctuary in Milton Keynes. Shortly after moving to London from East Anglia he became involved with the Studio77 squat party crew. This opened the doors to London’s vibrant underground electronic music offerings and a passion to do something more.

Shut Up And Dance

Shut Up And Dance - british breakbeat pioneers from scratch. Started with Hip Hop tunes and set up a soundsystem with DJ Hype but soon they integrated House and Techno influences and sped up the beats. With Reinforced SUAD could count as inventors of UK Hardcore. Early classics like Lamborghini, 10 Pounds To Get In, Greenman, The Art Of Moving Butts or the famous Raving I'm Raving saved them a place in the Hall Of Fame of UK Hardcore. After having problems with several unauthorized samples their own label "Shut Up And Dance" disappeared - but rose again from the dust in the last few years.
