Tha Playah

Tha Playah, born as Jim Hermsen in 1982, has developed his own particular style from the very beginning. Few artists had a start that can be compared to the storm this man unleashed in 2002. With enormous hits on the very popular Neophyte label he has proven himself record after record. Being one of the few artists ever to be contracted from the very start of his career to a label as prestigious as Neophyte Records, this dj made it very clear he deserved that chance.

Mark EG

Constantly searching for new sounds, original production talent and cutting edge club music, Mark EG is at the forefront of the UK's new music movement. But he refuses to be labeled. And this sometimes chameleon-like addiction to music has held Mark responsible not only for some of the most ground breaking releases in the hard techno world over the last few years (The Anxious), but also partly for the underground explosion of both hard trance and hardstyle through the UK.

Unexist breaths and lives hardcore. ‘Unleash the Brutality’ he calls it in his own words. "Hardcore makes me lose my anger, pain and aggression. It’s an addiction that’ll never go away". Francesco is always busy developing his characteristic Unexist-sound. Under his alias DJ Jappo, he scored (together with DJ Lancinhouse) a big hit with EXLXAXL which was released on The Real Motherfuckers E.P.. He made Industrial Strength Records a succesful company. He produced and played together with dj phenomenons like Lenny Dee, Horrorist, The, Promo and Manu Le Malin.
