Identity

1. Sweden's IDENTITY existed during that perceived hardcore void from late '80s to early '90s, a time that the closed minded claim produced no bands worth listening to. The closed minded are wrong, and IDENTITY is a prime example - this is the standard to which modern "melodic hardcore" should be held. Brilliant tuneful guitar leads throughout and hooks that border on melancholy, while the music blasts onward with few breaks in tempo ("Can I Really Trust Your Words?" is about as mid tempo as they get, and the kids could still pit to that one pretty easily).

Masheen

Masheen first got into music at an early age, not content with just listening to it, he then decided to start DJ'in. But not long after decided this was still not enough and started producing. Armed with just an Akai Sampler and an Atari he quickly got to grips on how to construct tunes. Just 2 years on he started to get interest from a couple of labels which lead to his first release with fellow producer Evil-C on 24 Karat under his old name DJ ST. Shortly after this release they met DJ Swan-e and had a release on his label Collusion Records under the alias Parallel Minds.

Spor

1) Twenty three year old Jon, known as ‘Spor’, has quickly risen to the forefront edge of dark Drum & Bass production. The England native got the name Spor from a combination of one of the first folders of samples he obtained, entitled 'Spore Tactics', and a favorite piece of artwork by a friend. Graffiti outlining eventually meant he would drop the 'e' to leave a more balanced arrangement. After a school friend introduced Spor (Jon) to the world of Drum and Bass he began experimenting with software to create his own music.

Aeph

Simone Vallecorsa aka Aeph was introduced to Bass music when he was a teenager back in his hometown. At the age of 16, inspired by different music genres, Simone was compelled to make his own music. Now Aeph lives and works out of London and has released on a number of most cutting edge record labels.
The "Aeph" sound is a dark melodic mixture of classic composition and surrealistic synthesizers, a retro futuristic vision of music combined with ultra modern riffs, great versatility and a finesse that rivals his role models.
