Audio Bullys

In 2003, Audio Bullys dropped their debut album 'Ego War' and emerged from the United Kingdom to re-ignite a rapidly fading state of dance music. Blending choice cuts of house, hip-hop, punk, soul and UK garage they joined Basement Jaxx, Stanton Warriors and The Streets to lead a movement that cracked chin-stroking, head-bobbing hipsters square in the jaw.

Moodymann

Moodymann is the moniker under which Kenny Dixon Jr produces and DJs. He is a techno/house musician based in Detroit. He has created a thoroughly hybrid form of techno/house dance music via his innovative use of reworked riffs, samples and grooves taken from that city's historically influential jazz, soul, funk and disco scene. Some call it cut-up Detroit house. He offers a friendly wink backwards at the innovative early 1990s rave scene musicians through his extensive use of old movie sound track samples, mainly culled from the old blaxploitation and b-movie genres.
