Source Direct

Source Direct were a jungle / drum & bass production outfit from St. Albans in the United Kingdom, consisting of Phil Aslett and Jim Baker. Their music would best be described as a combination of intensely complex, compressed drum edits, often suffused with a synthesis of menacing soundscapes and jazz-funk samples. They were largely considered to possess a similar production sensibility to Photek, but with a more hostile edge.

Grandmaster Gareth

My name is Grandmaster Gareth. I write minute melodies. I also sing and write in Misty's Big Adventure. I have made two solo albums. 'An Introduction to Minute Melodies' in 2003 and 'The Party Sounds of Grandmaster Gareth' in 2006. I like custard, He Man and currently Rice Krispies. I also like monkeys, stone circles and space. I don't understand why people spend money on ringtones. I took early retirement at 21. I wish Wombles were real. I would break my leg for money. I wish there was no money to be made out of music so all the people who make music to make money would give up.

Artery

This article describes Artery (UK), Artery (BG), and Artery (US). An article for Artery (GER) hasn't been written yet.
1.Artery were one of the most important and influential bands in the UK's post-punk scene, though they didn't sell many records and are often overlooked in pop histories. They were based in Sheffield UK, and between 1978 and 1985 recorded three studio albums, one live album, and a few singles. Their gigs were riotous. They defined the post-industrial outlook that Human League and Cabaret Voltaire adopted. They were the reason Jarvis Cocker decided to become a pop star.

Lone Ranger

Borrowing his stage name from the popular TV Western hero of the same name, the Lone Ranger was one of Jamaica's most influential early dancehall DJs. He helped pioneer a newly rhythmic, on-the-beat rhyming style that led DJ toasting into the modern age, and punctuated his lyrics with bizarre exclamations and sound effects ("bim" and "ribbit" were his favorites) that made him perhaps the most imaginative stylist of his time.
