The Outside Agency

The Outside Agency are DJ Hidden and Eye-D, hardcore and drum & bass artists from Goes, Netherlands. The Producers As true dissidents within the hardcore scene, The Outside Agency has always had its own unique sound. This was already evident on their first release, which they produced for Mokum Records in 1996. After that period hardcore suffered a drastic change in direction and the two members of TOA no longer felt at home in the genre and focused their attention on drum & bass instead.

DBX

First wave Detroit techno artist famous for early minimal sound combining elements of detroit with a stripped down and jacky sound more popular in Chicago at that time.

Plastique

There are multiple artists under this name: 1) From London, UK, Plastique is a British/Brazilian band filled with pounding dance beats, power-chords, dirty synths and so-sexual-it’s-almost-perverted vocals and lyrics. Gabriel (a producer) and Anelise (an actress) met in London in 2005 and quickly became good friends. They had planned to write music together, however she was already due to return to her native Brazil later that year, so the project was indefinitely put on hold. Back in Brazil she met Fabio (a graphic designer) and returned to London with him in 2009.

Hardfloor

Hardfloor are best known for the acid techno track Acperience 1, one of the genre's defining records and a key influence on the trance sound that dominated European techno through the 90s.

Morgan Geist

This New Jersey native was initially inspired by England's take on the sound of Detroit, but eventually tracked techno back to its Motor City innovators. When he began listening to music, however, it was the sound of early-'80s synth heroes like Devo, Severed Heads and New Order alongside early hiphop, jazz and 60's Hindi film soundtracks. Geist released his first 12" (via Dan Curtin's innovative Metamorphic label) while studying at Oberlin College in 1994.
