Drum n Bass

Nick Douwma a.k.a. Sub Focus came to the DnB scene from Liverpool, UK in 2004, and has already broken through with a number of popular tracks released in his first year including "Acid Test", and "X-Ray". Entirely self taught, he was noticed at first by 'Andy C', and in a matter of months, he went from being one of many wannabe producers to becoming a permanent fixture of the award winning 'Ram Records' family.

There are at least 3 bands / artists called Trace. One were a 1970s progressive rock band from Holland, another a pop group from Germany. The third is a drum and bass producer / DJ 1) Rick van der Linden's father was a pianist, so it was not a surprise that young Rick took piano-lessons. Later he started to learn playing the organ and finally he went to the Haarlem Conservatory. He played in many bands and nightclubs and was impressed by Brian AUGER and Keith EMERSON.

Where do you start with A Guy Called Gerald? A hidden gem, the gateway between Chicago house / Detroit Techno and the UK dance music explosion in the late 80s. He is one of a few special producers who entered dance music in the jacking zone. He is the first UK acid house producer and probably the first producer to have two instrumental dance tracks in the UK charts at the same. He formed 808 State with a drum machine, a 303, 2 Roland SH101s and 2 other humans.

Paul B (Pavel Burakov) is a Russian d'n'b DJ who started his career in 1997. With two other producers, he made The Sounds Of Infinity. In summer 2001 he started cooperation with Alex Gloyshin (STA). Their best compositions are: „The Lick”, „Step 2 Zero”, „Gush”, „Secrets Inside”... Monthly at his page we can find new d'n'b sets called "Nuborn mixes'. He's playing all along Europe.
