Beat Assassins



The Beat Assassins first evolved in 2006 when Wooz & Jimmy got together in a shed
in Harpenden to write a couple of tunes. But one thing led to another and, before they
knew it, the Beat Assassins became an established act and launched their own label,
Mofo Recordings. Their mutual love of hip-hop and dance music heavily influenced
their productions and by 2007 Beat Assassins were dropping hip-hop vocals over phat
breaks on a 130 bpm tempo.

The Beat Assassins’ production standards rapidly improved and at the end of
2007 they released We Run Tings, which invented a new territory in breakbeat
production called “urban electro”. This new style unites breakbeat, electro
and dancehall, delivering an exciting and individual sound resulting in 2
nominations for breakthrough producers at the International Breakbeat Awards.

Beat Assassins have caught the attention of promoters wanting a dancefloor-driven
urban vibe in their clubs. Wooz’s DMC scratching skills and Jimmy’s fifteen years
DJ experience have enabled Beat Assassins to tear up clubs and festivals across
mainland Europe, the UK and Australia with their high octane DJ sets focusing
on UK urban sounds from breaks and dubstep to bassline house and drum n bass.

Birdee

Birdee may be a relatively new name, but he is set to make waves very soon. Based in London but originally hailing from sunny Italia, he calls his blend of housey beats, obscure 70s samples and wobbly b-lines Ghetto Disco.
He stormed the scene earlier this year with the Listen To The Bassline Ep released on Lazy Rich's Big Fish Recordings  -  and has already received support from  Reset!, Rico Tubbs, Mc Flipside, Tom Stephan, Robert Owens and Electric Soulside to name but a few.

His latest single Musik has just been released on quality italian imprint Woot Records and is being played by Aniki, Malente, SHAX, Joyce Muniz and more.
With a busy remix schedule and more originals on the way soon on labels such as Will Bailey's Simma and Jaimie Fanatic's LKC - you better take notice of the little Bird.

Far Too Loud

Far Too Loud, a.k.a. Oli Cash, has gained a significant reputation in dance music for quality, dancefloor-destroying production. Originally rooted in breakbeat, the FTL sound was quickly recognized as being something different through the influence of other styles of dance music. Over the past four years the sound has developed and diversified but maintained the mix of hard-hitting beats, dirty basslines, detailed production and twisted sound design that has set FTL apart from the rest. This is evident from the full-on tech-breaks monster “Get High”, which was awarded Best Single at Breakspoll 2007, to the electro mix of Lily Allen’s “Not Fair”, which was liked so much that it became part of Lily’s live show and another remix was subsequently commissioned.

Signed to the burgeoning Funkatech records, Far Too Loud has released a string of singles and remixes that have found their way into the record bags of numerous top DJs, playlists of top radio stations and tune-of-the-month slots in major dance music publications. These include two three-part E.P. series, “Louder Than Life” and “Music For Machines”, and the huge-selling tracks “Play It Loud” and “You Know The Sound”, which both received “Best Track” nominations in the Beatport Music Awards.

The recognition received through these releases has seen Far Too Loud DJing all over the world including club appearances in China, Russia and throughout Europe, as well as regular appearances in native UK. The FTL vibe has been a winner particularly at festivals and rocked crowds at Glastonbury, Glade, Boom and many more. 2008 saw DJ sets from both the Breakspoll Awards and Glastonbury Festival broadcast on BBC Radio 1 and also the introduction of a live laptop-based set of all-original material, mixing up classic FTL tracks with new beats and psychedelic effects into a peak-time dancefloor experience.

2009 has seen FTL change from duo to solo act with original member Dom Smart leaving to concentrate on a new solo venture. Now under the sole direction of Oli, who has already singularly produced key FTL tracks and is no stranger to working solo under the name, the act is as strong as ever with plenty of exciting things to come!

NAPT Announce Juice

NAPT, aka Ashley Pope and Tomek Naden, are a multi-award winning British electronic dance music production and DJ duo whose popularity has rocketed in the last 2 years. Their self coined N-Funk sound is a heady concoction of breakbeat, electro and house spawned from the UK underground and informed by a keen ear for the tasteful end of the commercial spectrum.

NAPT's first releases were remixes for major label artists Lumidee and Jon Cutler. NAPT then went on to release a slew of chart topping and critically acclaimed tracks on a host of labels including the award winning Funkatech Records, Sony Records, Fingerlickin Records and more, which have been consistently played on Radio 1, Kiss FM, Triple J etc and featured in major online and offline press including DJ Mag, iDJ, Mixmag, inthemix etc; from the top selling and award winning singles "Gotta Have More Cowbell" and "Make My Day" which have to date racked up over 15,000 sales, to remixes and collaborations with electro-pop act Kish Mauve (Kylie Minogue fame), Mercury Prize nominee MJ Cole, Dubstep luminary G-Double from Anti-Social crew, British drum and bass MC Skibadee, UK soul legend Mica Paris and rising UK Urban star Ashley “Bashy” Thomas.

In 2009 NAPT picked up a highly esteemed award from Beatport.com for their remix of Slyde’s “Frequency,” followed by wins for Best Producer, Best Track and Best Remix at Breakspoll. In 2010 they repeated their wins for Best Producer and Best Track at Breakspoll - the first time in the history of the awards that the Best Producer and Best Track categories had been won by the same artist in successive years.

As DJ's NAPT have headlined and performed shows all over the world, from Fabric in London, Glastonbury Festival Somerset to Ambar in Perth the N-Funk continuously infiltrates many a dance floor. NAPT also pioneered the online mix tape with 3 highly successful mix series to date, the latest "Live In The Mix" gaining well over 40,000 downloads.

Successfully traversing a multitude of genres the NAPT N-Funk sound refuses to be boxed in with their innovative, mutated, high sheen productions rocking the most discerning of dance floors.

The future seems ever bright for the new heroes of the dance.

Loose Cannons Bio:
2010 has seen the Don-Daddas of DJ Duo-dom, Kaiser Saucy & Lord Fader step-up the remixes, already
taking Flo-Rida & David Guetta, Brandon Flowers, and Timbaland and Katie Perry to the sweaty dancefloors
of the world. Their remix of Lady Gaga and Beyonce's Telephone hit no.1 on the HypeM Twitter charts and
their forthcoming rework of the Rosie Gaines anthem, Closer Than Close has been blowing up all over.
Rihanna loved the Cannons' carnival vibes mix of her track Rude Boy so much, she asked the boys to re-lick
her next single- Rockstar 101- out now on Def Jam. And all this while setting-up their own label and finding
time to work on a new studio album and live show

Peo de Pitte Bio:

"Peo de Pitte is definitely a name to watch" - Fake Blood

Peo de Pitte hails from the city of Stockholm. Having relocated to London, Peo has been cooking up a storm
with his original production; remix work and his late night, hands-up-heads-down DJ sets. He has been running
his own label FlatOut Records, home to his two aliases Peo de Pitte and Haggstrom which has seen support on
radio, in press and at the forefront on headline DJ’s sets right around the globe. His hailed remix of ‘Riverside’
by Sidney Samson has so far clocked up over 75,000 downloads!

His trademark combination of big room beats and cutting edge synth’s has resulted in making Peo one of the
most exciting new producers to emerge since IKEA. With remixes and releases on labels such as Global
Underground, SIMMA, Fingerlickin’, LOT49, U&A and Champion Records.
In-turn, this lead Peo to be invited to perform exclusive mixes for Annie Nightingale on Radio1 and
