Specimen A

Specimen A are brothers Phil and Mo. They produce Breaks, Drum and Bass, and anything else that needs to be energetic, and get a dancefloor moving. They were born into a musical family, and raised on a diet of rave and dance music. Initially a crowd-rocking live act, compared to the Prodigy, Specimen A turned to the studio, after finding their first love in Drum & Bass. Starting with just an AKAI S2000, and an Atari, they progressed through to having a studio which is literally busting out the door with equipment.

Jnr Hacksaw

JNR Hacksaw (Alexis Cousins) brings the electrobreaks flava as a stalwart of the trigger.uk imprint. This artist tends to be dropping the unexpected, glitchy twist into the mix. It's definitely a notch beyond "party breaks" when the "hacksaw" cuts in with a barrage of his trademark uptempo tweakbeats. Jnr's tracks are available exclusively through www.addictech.com
