JUNKIE XL [radiojxl.com, Amsterdam]
In the words of Junkie XL, "...what I want is for Junkie XL to
become a mark of quality when it comes to a certain sound. I feel
really comfortable saying I make progressive dance music that can
cross over between different genres - and I'm always asking, 'How far
can I go?'"

STANTON WARRIORS [(DOMINIC B) UK]
The Stanton Warriors have succeeded in not only bucking musical definition
but have picked it up by the collar and kicked its ass. With their eclectic
past and drawing on some traditional sounds of underground house, hip hop,
electro and funk, they've mixed up the old and the new and come out with
something bigger than the sum of its parts, namely the Stanton sound!

*APRIL 14TH :: INFUSION (live!) | BASSNECTAR
INFUSION (live!) [Thunk | Marine Parade | Melbourne]
"Brilliant live, responsible for a couple of the best tracks of the last twelve
months, and highly rated by Sasha, Zabiela, etc. Infusion are shaping up to be
one of the best new dance acts for a long time. Their devastating blend of live
instruments and dirty 4/4 breaks has brought new vibrancy and inspiration to the
dance music community." - M8 Mag
BASSNECTAR [Amorphous | Organic Music | US]
With Bassnectar having remixed or collaborated with the likes of KRS One, Heavyweight
Dub Champion, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Buckethead, The String Cheese Incident, Saul
Williams, Noam Chomsky, Cheb I Sabbah, Sound Tribe Sector 9, Crash Berlin, Landslide,
and Perry Farrell, as well as having released records on OM Records, Virgin, 6 Degree,
Functional Breaks, Ceiba, Groundwork (Starbucks) and Kool Keith’s Sync Recordings, the
Bassnectar sound has benefited from a wide scope of exposure, and evolved from cutting
edge dance music to where it exists today: a mutant mash-up of multiple styles and genres.
The only way to experience the Bassnectar sound is to live it.
