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.

MC Kinky

MC Kinky, aka Feral & Caron Geary, is a rarity in music: white female raggamuffin toaster, though not pigeon-holed as a reggae artist. "I do what comes naturally to me, and it usually has a combination of influences", she says. She grew up in North London, on a diet of reggae, David Essex, Marc Bolan and Kate Bush. After being expelled from sixth-form college she worked in children's play centres by day and in nightclubs after dark. Although her initial foray into music was as a drummer, her love of Bob Marley inspired her to try "chatting" over music.
