Avus

In January 2000 two clever friends handed Scott Edwards a copy of buzz and a cdr full of samples. These were fused with a mind full of sounds crossing everything from Tangerine Dream to a Roots Supercharger and Avus was born. By this time Scott had already been honing his DJ talents for many years gaining a residency at London's Glasshouse, his own radio show and playing numerous sets around some of Britain's best (and indeed dodgiest) sweatpits.

Applescal

Applescal's real name is Pascal Terstappen. This ambitious bedroomproducer was born in Haarlem, the Netherlands, 20 years ago. He lived most of his life in Breda, where he came in touch with electronic music and software synthesisers. After four years of messing around he finally began to recognise the sounds of his computer as being the music he had always heard in his head. In the summer of 2007, Applescal moved to the capital city of Amsterdam.

Chaim

Born into a family of traditional musicians and the son of a father who was already spinning records in the late sixties, Chaim grew up to become a complex producer. Influenced by Moroccan music he heard at home while growing up, and the sound of Chicago House he fell in love with while working as a light jockey in his local clubs, his productions tell a story of a sensitive musician from Tel Aviv.
