THE RAM SESSIONS



SUB FOCUS [ Ram Records | Frequency ] - UK

With several tracks to his name all made in the space of the last twelve months 2004 has been a massive year for Nick aka Sub Focus: the year has seen him breakthrough in unprecedented fashion armed with the likes of the technically astounding "Acid Test", the simple yet devastatingly effective "Strobe", the lively "Get on Up" and the altoghether awesome "X-Ray". In a matter of months, he has gone from being one of many wannabe producers to become a permanent fixture of the award winning Ram Records family. Artists like Sub Focus are what "Best Breakthrough Producer" awards are made for.



CHASE & STATUS [ Ram Records | Bingo ] - UK

Saul Milton and Will Kennard really do start as they mean to go on. Since the birth of their drum and bass career in 2004, things have been moving extremely rapidly for this duo. Their first release on Renegade Hardware (a remix of Future Cut's 20/20) was followed with big tracks such as Love’s Theme, Iron Fist and Hoodrat on prominent labels such as Bingo, BC Presents and Habit. DJ's: Andy C, Mampi Swift, Friction, Zinc, Pendulum, Fabio and Bad Company have shown huge support for their releases which has only been further affirmed by regular radio airplay. Their sets reflect on a wide spectrum of drum&bass, as is shown in their Jan 2005 Studio Mix on DnB Arena, their guest mix on 1Xtra and of course with their live DJ sets. 2005 has been a good year for the duo with 'Barbarians', 'Menace' and, 'Glitch' all dropping on Renegade Hardware, 'Loader' on BC Presents, and a remix for Bingo of Mood 2 Swing's 'I Got Love'.

Forthcoming? ‘The Druids EP' on Bingo, 'The Ten Tonne EP' on Renegade Hardware, 'In Love' Ft Jenna G for her debut artist album and a brand new remix of 'Everyday' for Shy FX which will be dropping in the New Year.



VERSE [ Crunch | Renegade Hardware ] - UK

Verse joins a select crop of owners, an MC with a label as he works towards the first Crunch release. In between touring and travelling, Verse has found sufficient studio time to write alongside DKay, BCUK, Keaton, Bad Company and join the Fifth Element crew deep with Loxy & Ink. Postponed due to distribution issues that collective are far from buried we’re assured. Verse releases have rounded out across Renegade Hardware and Outbreak; he duly returns to productions for his personal ends, Crunch Recordings.


THE HEADHUNTERZ INC. [ Big H Recordings | Mantis Sound System ] - DC/NYC

Feight, Psychofly, Krazyglue, Jukata, and Quannum Logic found a working formula due to a shared affinity for hard-edged, upfront drum & bass, yet each has a different sound to their production. It is this diversity that gives Headhunterz Inc. a very unique sound and a wide arsenal of material to unleash on the drum & bass masses. Look out for the realease on Big H Recordings in December and also many other tunes to be released over the next year. Put your hard hats on cause these guys will destroy shit.


D-FECT [ EXBC | Delta Project ] - DC

Illeffect and Deinfamous are two of most well regarded drum and bass DJs in the DC and Baltimore area. As D-FECT, they have combined their incredible mixing and scratching talents to make any night they play a memorable one. Their individual performances at Five have had the dance floor moving, so come check out their Five collective debut!


BOBBY JAE [ Upfront | 5DNB ] - DC

Mastering the sounds of DC drum and bass, Bobby Jae never fails with his impeccable mixing and top-notch selection. Be sure to check out Bobby Jae's new highly anticipated mix, Upfront Drum n' Bass. This follow up to his URB Mix It Best classic, Perpetual Motion, is a veritable showcase of the liquid, funky sounds that many artists on the Upfront Industries roster are currently cultivating.

it was all about WHERE'S JACK THE RIPPER. that was the ultimate tune (for me, at least).

[THE BLACKEST]

Where's Jack The Ripper was my anthem until Andy C rmx'd it. Now the Andy C rmx is. I still play the rmx to this day and best believe I'll play it next week!

[MURAMASA]

I'll be there! Gotta support the locals.

Focus and C&S make for an added treat as well. :)
