Freq Nasty

From the days of Breakbeat's origins, FreQ Nasty established himself as one of the scene's pioneers, producing many of the genre's defining moments. As Breakbeat came into its own, FreQ Nasty's tunes remained ahead of the pack. His music is on the cutting edge of the FutureStep Movement, a chaotic loose assemblage of sonic renegades, steeped in the traditions of Breaks, Dubstep, Rock, Ragga, Grime and Funk, chopping in and out of slow-motion, Halfstep beats.

Scalps

Newcastle, Australia (2004 - present) Scalps is a solo project of Chris Hearn, of Alps. Scalps was begun at the same time as Alps, with the intention of being an antithesis project, a kind of evil twin. Scalps embodied the elements which Alps did not: harshness, darkness, the digital, the improvised, treble, static. Two records, the 'One' cdr and 'Two' 3"cdr were released in 2005 and 2006. Alps became a busy project, releasing ten records over the next four years and touring constantly internationally.

The Chemical Brothers

The Chemical Brothers are a British electronic music duo comprising Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons, who met at the University of Manchester, England in 1992. Initially they called themselves "The Dust Brothers." They changed their name in 1995 given the preexisting American production duo "The Dust Brothers," their burgeoning popularity and the threat of legal action from the originals. Thus, their first album as The Chemical Brothers was titled Exit Planet Dust.
