KENNY KEN (Mix'n'Blend | UK)

From the hardcore madness of the Labyrinth and Crazy Club to the junglist domination of World Dance and AWOL, Kenny Ken has been at the forefront of the UK's breakbeat revolution. His DJ sets have earned him the mix n' blend moniker worldwide, and last year he took his career the next logical step with the launch of the Mix n' Blend label. Having been in the game for nearly a decade, Kenny Ken is a true ambassador for jungle music. During this time he has earned respect throughout the scene and enjoyed almost universal popularity with the massives for his diverse and entertaining DJ sets. "When I first began DJing, it started off as a gimmick thing really. I wasn't setting out to be a top DJ or anything, because in those early days it was all new to me - I was off the street and straight into DJing. I didn't know which direction I was going in... all I knew is that I could play two tunes." Kenny also runs a record label called "Mix 'n' Blen" which should ensure that he remains one of the top DJ's on the Drum and Bass circuit today.

ESHIN
([Only registered and activated users can see links. ] | Secret Night Of Science)

DJ Eshin first began DJing in 2000 as he began taking hip-hop tunes from his bedroom to house parties in the NYC area. Although he first delved into electronic music in 1996, Eshin did not start experimenting with DnB in his DJ sets until 2002 and hasn't looked back since then. Eshin made a big splash in 2004 by launching the eclectic Wednesday night weekly No Jacket Required in NYC with DJ/promoting partner Doctor Faustus. While the weekly finished its run a year after its launch, No Jacket Required still exists today as a NYC monthly event, bringing in prominent DnB talent from around the world, as well as NYCs finest. Eshin is also collaborating with Direct Drive, which has been a staple in the NYC dance scene for the past 8 years. Spanning from melodic and dubby sounds to tech-step and jump-up, Eshin showcases the ability to explore multiple styles in his sets. Eshin has played alongside international talent including Goldie, Total Science, Marcus Intalex, Pendulum, Sub Focus, Klute, London Elektricity, Juju, Logistics, and Digital, among others. As a member of the electronic music collective Bassbot, Eshin continues to spread his diverse sound in the American DnB circuit and beyond.
