SERIOUS RAGGA-BIZNIT!
DJ Psychofreud
(PsychoFreud.com, Knowledge and Wisdom, Norway
PsychoFreud from Oslo, Norway, has been making drumandbass since
1995 and been DJ'ing since 1999. Since then he has found his own
unique production style mainly in the ragga drumandbass genre,
and his tracks are being played everywhere from Europe to both
coasts in the US, in Canada, Japan, and the Ivory Coast. His DJ
style is mixing hard dancefloor fillers with his own ragga drumandbass
tracks, and he never fails to please the crowd. His promise to
himself is to play at least one unplayed dubplate at every new
venue he spins at. Expect to hear both hard drumandbass classics,
new nice tracks, and ragga drumandbass dubs.
PsychoFreud has also been producing hiphop for many years as well
as making riddims for reggae and dancehall artists. He runs a
weekly reggae show at Oslos largest radio station, Radio Oslo;
called YARD Radio. PsychoFreud is part of the YARD Crew, Bulletproof
Bloodclaat, Blodklut Lyd and psychofreud.com crew. Many of his
tracks can be streamed at http://www.psychofreud.com/
Dara
(Breakbeat Science, Planet of the Drums, Konkrete Jungle)
On arriving in the US from Ireland in 1994, Dara quickly established
himself as one of the top DJs on the US scene. Now every weekend
finds him spinning in different cities across the country. Since
his first record release in 1995, Dara has produced a string of
highly successful singles and remixes as well as his 1997 full-length
debut "Halfway Home (sm-e communications) has been a huge
critical and commercial success.
As a result from both his successful DJing and recording endeavors,
Dara has become one of the most recognizable faces on the US drum
'n' bass scene. He has been featured in countless magazine appearances
and interviews both in the US and worldwide. He can be found making
his annual appearance at the legendary Notting Hill Carnival along
with raves and clubs all across the US. For some time Dara was
also the host of a weekly web-TV show Velocity on which he has
interviewed some of the leading names in drum 'n' bass, including
Jonny L, Kemistry and Storm, Trace, Ed Rush and Optical, Hype,
Andy C, Zinc, SS and many others.
Dara is currently working on single releases for his own imprint,
Breakbeat Science Recordings, including the upcoming BBSCI003
release "Possession / Duplicity (Klute Rmx)" which is
being caned on plate at the moment. In 2000, Dara completed From
Here To There , a new mixed CD on Moonshine that features some
amazing tracks. These include Dara's own "Duplicity"
(Klute Remix), as well as set opener "Crazy" by L Double
& Serena, DJ Hype's "The Big 3-Oh," two tracks from
John B ("Prowler" and "Progress"), Kenny Ken's
"Project One" and numerous other top tracks.
Soon, Dara will join forces once again with AK1200 and Dieselboy
for their second annual Planet of the Drums Tour. Planet of the
Drums was born out of frustration due to lack of exposure and
professionalism for Drum n Bass in the States and with Dara,
AK and Dieselboy each others main competition, it made perfect
sense to band together and hit the road.
Along with touring nation wide, Dara has been recording some original
tracks and putting them out on his Breakbeat Science and Orgone
Recordings imprints. Breakbeat Science is not only his label,
but it is also the first and biggest drum n bass store, co-founded
by Dara. Dara has done an array of remixes including on singles
from DJs such as Keoki, Pizzicato Five, Dog Eat Dog, Black Nostaljack
and Afrika Bambaata.

DJ Big Ears
(Hardmind Productions, Bassbot.org, Twist 1, Stay 2uned)
A long time friend of Hardmind and rave culture as a whole, it
was only natural DJ Big Ears would evolve into the thriving artist
he is today. Influenced by years of Hardcore and Jungle as a soldier
on the dancefloor, this headstrong individual set out to inject
his own flavor into underground dance culture. Blending raw mash-up,
ragga, dark step, and hard step, this man laughs in the face of
the status quo and serves up the variety and personality needed
to satisfy the old school and educate the new. MC's:
