Desyn Masiello

Desyn is one of the very few djs in recent years that has stood out and caught the ear of some of the worlds largest DJs (Deep Dish, Sander K and Danny Howells nominating him as their 'future DJ Hero' in DJ Magazine's Top 100 poll 2002).With many established DJs and nucomer DJs leaning towards a particular style and musical range many are pigeon holed into a 'genre' of music. Desyn, however, has managed to establish his own sound that crosses boundaries and makes difficult to categorize.

Rebecca Worthley

Sparkly, beguiling acoustic pop. Its Rebeccas voice that will hit you first. Rebecca Worthley has been writing songs since she picked up her mums old classical guitar at the age of 16. Surrounded by music in her upbringing, with her pianist father and operatic mother, her many harmony-wielding siblings gave the family a distinct Family Von-Trapp feel. Rebecca was driven to share her music almost as soon as it came into existence and performed at her school, at friend’s weddings and in living rooms across the country.

Haujobb

Haujobb (not to be confused with the demogroup of the same name) formed as a trio in 1993 in Germany, with B. Junemann being the third member to the current duo of Dejan and Daniel. Their first release was on cassette only, the now hopelessly out of print Drift Wheeler. This embryonic issue brought them to the attention of Off Beat records, who released their first CD, Homes and Gardens, later that same year.
