Human Resource

Human Resource was founded in 1990. Their first record "Dominator" became an European hit almost overnight. Due to this huge success, and the success of their second album "The Kicking Noise of Rotterdam", the group spends years on the road touring the globe. By the end of the 90’s, after many changes of the line up, the band ceased to exist and co-founder Guido Pernet was the only one left. In 2004 he decided to restart the group with oldschool house legends Maurice Steenbergen and Zeno Zevenbergen.

Ben Macklin

Ben Macklin has fast become one of the hottest young producers to break through in 2006 with his versatile sound that crosses dirty electro, 80’s inspired electronica as well as energetic funky house. Since taking time out from his production partnership with Stretch Silvester as the Sucker DJ’s, Ben’s solo productions have been in huge demand after the underground successes of ‘Crush’ and ‘Release’ as well as the more commercially edged ‘Feel Together’ all of which have found homes at prestigious labels such as Azuli records and Free2air recordings.

Auburn

"Auburn," as you will quickly notice, refers to more than one band. First is an R&B/pop singer who sings "La La La." Most other tracks are from a southern metalcore band of the same name. According to the La La La Songfacts, Auburn Williams was born in Minneapolis to a single mother. She began singing in church and listened to nothing but gospel music as a kid. When she was 13, Auburn began performing with a local all-girl group called Loyal and she continued to work on her songwriting, posting tracks on her MySpace page growing her fanbase the grass-roots way.
