BAD COMPANY UK

Bad Company is the stage name of drum and bass producers Jason Maldini, Darren White (D Bridge), Dan Stein (Fresh) and Michael Wojcicki (Vegas).

They formed in 1999 from the ashes of Renegade Hardware act Future Forces.

The group is well known in the drum and bass industry for their 12″ single: The Nine / the Bridge (BCR001). Bad Company went on to produce four LPs and various singles which were acclaimed with similar success, most notably was “The Book of Bad” LP (2000) which had the crowd and dj favorites “Miami Flashback”, “Planet Dust”, and “Mind Games”. Today, however, the group is somewhat dissolved. Dan Stein (Fresh) had left Bad Company to pursue several solo projects under different labels like: Ram Recordings, Breakbeat Kaos, V-Recordings and Valve. Darren White continues to produce under the name D-Bridge, Jason Maldini and Michael Wojicky under Maldini and Vegas, respectively. The remainder of the group, now known as “Bad Company UK” because they had a legal battle over the name as there was a band in the 70’s also called Bad Company, consists of Maldini and Wojicky.

FIERCE (QUARANTINE UK)

http://www.myspace.com/quarantinerecordings

Fierce has been at the forefront of the drum & bass scene since the mid 1990s, starting with his early excursions at No U-Turn from the tender age of 16 to his involvement in some of the scene’s seminal musical moments such as ‘Alien Girl’, ‘Locust’, ‘The End’ and ‘Tightrope’ on prestigious labels including Prototype, Metro, Virus, Ram, BC, DSCi4, DNAudio and 31 Records.

As well as bringing his undoubted skills to the table on the production front, Fierce has long been known as one of the most exciting and energetic DJs around, widely respected by both his peers and drum & bass fans alike. Still harbouring an insatiable love for dubplates and vinyl ahead of MP3s and CDs, Fierce really is a DJs’ DJ, bringing sounds from across the spectrum and uniquely fusing tracks together in the mix to create a new and fresh sound every time.

Fierce enters 2009 representing his own Quarantine label, working alongside producers including Break, Optiv, D-Bridge, Nico, Survival, Noisia, Silent Witness and RymeTyme and continuing to hone the minimal, rolling sound the label has made its own. With two acclaimed albums, ‘Dominion’ (2007) and ‘Zenith’ (2008) and a string of must have singles behind them, just keep listening….

DIRTYPHONICS (FRANCE)

Dirtyphonics have been smashing up the biggest parties in Europe with their heavy tunes and amazing live act since 2006. Pho, Playte, Capskod, and Pitch-In are Paris’ own Dirtyphonics.

Dirtyphonics’ highly anticipated “French Fuck” and “Bonus Level” were unleashed on Shimon’s AudioPorn Records and immediately became number one in the Drum and Bass Arena charts, causing absolute mayhem on dancefloors around the globe.

Another huge Dirtyphonics’ track, “Get Dirty”’, appeared on “Roots & Future” Dope Ammo Camp’s album, earlier in 2008. “Dirtyphonics” “Get Dirty” – “highlight of the album, dirty music!!!” - Mix Mag September 2008.

Other bangers from Dirtyphonics are about to be released : “The Secret” featuring Tali and “Quarks” on “The Quarks E.P” with Ram Trilogy and Shimon, then a remix of Shimon’s track, “The Shadow Knows” .

“Their production is a force to be reckoned with!” - Shimon

Dirtyphonics have developed a highly acclaimed and original live act, whilst continuing to resist the cliché concept of a typical DnB live show. Hosted by MC Youthstar, their energetic act incorporates turntables, MPC’s, filters, effects and even a GameBoy! No computers are to be seen! In addition to the live act, Dirtyphonics showcase their tunes with regular, explosive DJ sets, using 4 turntables with Playte and Pitch-In. Check the live act out for yourself.

“Dirtyphonics! Big things!” – Andy C

With their first release “Reggaetronik remix” in 2006 voted “Unsigned Track of the Month” by Knowledge Magazine, and now forthcoming releases on AudioPorn, the boys are quickly moving from strength to strength, performing alongside, and receiving major plays from DnB heavy-weights such as Andy C, Shimon, Pete Tong, Marky, Ed Rush & Optical, Crissy Criss, Simon Bassline Smith, Matrix, JJ Frost, High Contrast, Subfocus, Chase & Status and the list goes on!

“I think we’ve discovered some future stars.” – Knowledge Magazine November 2006

The Dirtyphonics sound will be hard to miss, with plenty of dirty dubplates smashing things up on the decks of a party near you. Hear Dirtyphonics on BBC Radio 1, Origin FM, Radio Frequency and in France – Radio Nova and France Culture.
