Tomcraft & Tim Healey ft. DJ Assault - Real Smooth (Krafty Kuts remix) [Tasted]
The Loops Of Fury - Flick A Switch (Krafty Kuts re-rub) [Against The Grain]
Martin Reeves, AKA Krafty Kuts, is without doubt one of the world’s greatest DJs. Lauded in the UK, worshipped in Australia, acclaimed in America, where ever he plays he is guaranteed to cause a commotion with his riotous skills. So far in a glittering career he has gained dance music’s top accolades including Best International DJ at the Australian Dance Music Awards, Breakspoll’s Face of Breaks 2003 and Best Breaks DJ at the M8 Ibiza awards 2006, in only his first year as a resident on the white isle. A stunning haul at Breakspoll 2007 saw him claiming Best Album for his debut long player ‘Freakshow’, Best DJ for a record third consecutive year and to cap it off, the richly deserved Outstanding Contribution to Breakbeat award that acknowledged his long journey to the acme of club culture.

Product.01 - Destrukt (original mix) [En:Vision Recordings]
Product.01 is the colliding forces of vocalist Rochelle Vincente Von K and electro-guru Marc Adamo. If New-Wave had a heart and electro had a brain then you’d be close to the sound of Product.01. From the wonky-pop appeal of ‘Heart Ov Glass’ to the sleazy grind of ‘Boy’s Club’, the band have mastered the black art of mixing vocals and dance music with style. Before they’d even managed to release their first single they were snapped up for a pair of remixes. One for Adam Freeland’s hit single ‘We Want Your Soul’ and the second for International Pony’s track ‘Leaving Home’. They followed this up with their debut, the Zero-One EP, which featured their phenomenal remake of Heart Ov Glass. The EP earned hit reviews in music mags and has reached international cult status. More remix work followed for Dave Clarke/Chicks On Speed, Si Begg, Princess Superstar/Larry Tee, Jean Paul Bondy, Caucasian Boy, Husky Rescue, Lexi (Superstonic), Ursula 1000, Minticco, TV HeartAttack, and plenty of great live shows including touring with Freeland, and playing alongside Tiga, Fatboy Slim, Dubfire, Eric Morillo, Cursor Miner, Bobby Gillespie (Primal Scream), Mark Moore , Spektrum, Gregor Tresor, General Midi, Larry Tee, Princess Superstar, Arthur Baker, Chris Coco, Monosurround, Lee Coombs, Friendly, Jo Jo De Freq, Caged Baby, John Acquaviva, Moonbootica, Kid Alex, Play Paul, Scratch Massive, Lee Coombs, Monika Kruse, Einmusik, Si Begg, Andy Barlow (Lamb), Jordan Dare, Beardyman, Simian Mobile Disco, DJ Mehdi !! ...as well as performances for Radio One, XFM and Tate Britain.

5tereophone - Jellyfish Fly (original mix) [Mediadrive Records]

House-project 5tereophone – is the electronic “greeting” from 2 St.Petersburg’s music makers. Their combined work began in 2003. From the beginning they didn’t find easy ways and doubtful fame of night-clubs residents’, they decided to create qualitative music. Long work under the sound and substandard access marked appearance of their own unique sounding, which were valued very high by influential people of dance- music industry in Russia.

Christian Smith - Fidelidade (original mix)
AS A DJ, CHRISTIAN SMITH PLAYS EVERYTHING BETWEEN HOUSE AND TECHNO. HE HAS NEVER BEEN A PURIST, AND HE SIMPLY BELIEVES THAT PEOPLE GO OUT TO PARTY AND NOT TO BE BORED. THE SECRET IS IN THE ENERGY THAT HE CREATES. IT'S A LESSON THAT THIS SWEDISH CITIZEN LEARNT MANY YEARS AGO, WHEN HE SPENT THE LATE 80'S IN GERMANY SOAKING UP THE EARLY HOUSE AND TECHNO SOUND OF SVEN VATH. NOW WITH MASSIVE CROSSOVER SUPPORT FOR HIS MUSIC FROM DJ'S RANGING FROM JOHN DIGWEED TO CARL COX TO RICHIE HAWTIN, THE FUTURE IS VERY CERTAIN FOR CHRISTIAN TO STAY ON TOP AS ONE OF THE LEADERS IN FORWARD THINKING DANCE MUSIC THROUGH 2010 AND BEYOND.

Beckers & Hatfield - Mind Rape (original mix) [Plastik Park]
Frank Beckers is not someone who will need introducing to you if you have at all been in the club scene for the last 10 years; his current side project D-nox & Beckers is one of Germany..s most highly acclaimed duos for progressive house and probably the hotest sound around at the moment, reaching the playlists of world renowned DJ's like John Digweed, Satoshi Tomiie, Pete Tong and many more big room floor fillers. With 2 albums released under his former artist name of Space Safari, Frank Beckers has also had a huge chain of 12 releases on labels like Baroque, Electribe, Vapour and Infusions own label Polaroid, with his major breakthrough coming on Sprout music with the international best seller Switch. His most recent collaboration projects have been with Barcelona's kings of progressive David Amo & Julio Navas and he has also has various vinyl releases as Export Audio, now using the name Hatfield & Beckers for their forthcoming releases. Frank is not only a well established producer, but he is also working as a proffesional DJ for 8 years, playing in over 20 countries, and this year alone he played so far in New York, Tokio, Melbourne, Rio de Janero, Mexico City, Helsinki, Lissbon, Sao Paulo, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Budapest... and the list goes on! All this is not at all suprising, when you realise that many years before Frank Beckers started to produce his own music, he had already played in several rock and funk bands and that he'd infact started out his life as a musician in his early childhood days.

The House Moguls - U Should Stay (Hauswerks remix) [Funktion Recordings]
While the duo has been quite successful under The House Moguls moniker, both Gus and Bill also pursue individual projects of their own. Gus is co-owner of Funktion Recordings (with releases from Kid Crème’, Ian Carey, David Tort and many more) while Bill has been a Mixmaster on WBBM FM B96.3 for the past seven years. His mixshow with B96.3 is continually one of the most listened to in North America and so it’s no wonder he was also a nominee for both Emerging Artist of the Year 2006 and DJ of the Year 2004 & 2005 by Scion and Local Sound Chicago.

Ricky Ryan - Soul Tornado (original mix) [Berwick Street Records]
Anyone with even a passing interest in the progressive house genre will either know of Ricky Ryan, or should make a point of getting on board pronto. Ricky's profile has grown substantially over the past two years, gaining attention being mentored by the likes of Sasha and John Digweed. It's not often that you come across a really outstanding DJ, combining oodles of talent with a livewire personality. But Ricky Ryan is just that. In fact, there's a major movement going on in Argentina, with Ricky one of the leaders. Without banging on too much, his success is exemplified with his show on Proton Radio setting a new record of 1,000 simultaneous listeners, along with rave reviews from Sander Kleinenberg, Danny Howells, and Desyn Masiello.
