DJ Flo

DJ Flo started as "MC Flo". As time passed by he changed his artist name, nowadays he listens to the name "DJ Flo" or just "Flo". The name is based on his real name - Floris- and he is definitely one to keep in mind. Flo gets his inspiration from (progressive) trance artists like Armin van Buuren, Tiesto, Above & Beyond, Lange, Gareth Emery, Super8 & Tab, Marc Marberg, Mark Pledger, Atb, Marc Norman, Maor Levi, Paul van Dyk, Ferry Corsten, Dash Berlin, First State, dj Shah, Ronski Speed, Stoneface & Terminal...

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.

Matthias Meyer

Dj, Producer and artist Matthias Meyer hails from the quiet town of Lueneberg, Germany (near Hamburg). As a young, excited music lover, the hi-tech sounds of Detroit and Chicago spoke to Matthias, and encouraged him to seek the excitement and hustle of nearby Hamburg's diverse club scene. From here he let music take control, actively promoting this newfound scene in his local towns with the sFunkt DJ collective, organising parties that would bring the electronic message to an otherwise dance-less area.

Mitch & Murray

The Black Country is one of the more unlikely places to find a band whose influences try to avoid heavy metal and men in long shorts. At least one of the groups from Dudley have tried to - Mitch and Murray. The band comprises of Benjamin Jones, Peter Coulthard, Mel Balham and Paul Of The Dead (from prog legends Andromeda Circle). Promisingly soulful songs loom out of the guitar influences of Red House Painters and Galaxie 500, the classic Blues and Folk Benjamin was raised on, and continuing forays into Soul and Pop.
