Simon V
Tübingen
Just like James Bond would only be half the fun without Qs gadgets, German Drum'n'Bass wouldn't be what it is now without Simon V - the ever cinematic German wunderkind. His sound is distinctive, soulful, deep, epic, diverse in style and always a step further than functional audio design pieces for the dancefloor. It's cloudspotting time.

Young Ax
Berlin
"I listen to a lot of Jazz and vintage Funk, but also Old School Hip Hop. I try to carry this vibe into Drum'n'Bass music," says Alex, better known among heads as Young Ax. "Back in the days I was fascinated by breaking down and cutting the music. Then, when I was on the road with "No Solo", there was just Hip Hop for me. When I was eleven, I was watching "Beat Street" and it stuck. This easy way of performing music, partying, dancing - similar to Drum'n'Bass today".

Thetaphi
Tübingen
Sebastian Falter (and partly Björn Hülpüsch) are known for a huge scale of different styles. On the one hand evil, on the other hand divine, nuskool in the first, oldschool at least, there is nothing, refering to the Drum'n'Bass-genre, these guys wouldn't have touched yet. Their live-acting is a noncategorical experience. It's Drum'n'Bass in the end but they load it in omnicolor.

Tyler Straub
San Mateo
Tyler eats lemons like normal food (California!), he sold his level 60 war craft character (700.- USD!) to get some turntables (crate digger!), he was a drummer in jazz bands (band geek!), he does sound design for video games & film ("growing up all I did was play games...") and he's a brand new artist on Santorin (cool!). "I'm pretty simple: I just do sound and music."
