WAILY (Mayhem, Terrorcraft), Finland

Ville Immonen has been driven to all kind of music as long as he can remember, but the closest thing to his heart has always been electronic music. After listening hardtrance and hardcore for the very first time... there simply was no turning back. Main reason for Waily to start Dj'ing was the lack of real Hardcore music in Finland.

Waily loves hard music and that can be seen in his performances. By playing Hardstyle and uncommercial Hardcore he has earned his place as a member & promoter of wellknown concepts: Mayhem, Terrorcraft.

Waily is one of the three founders of Terrorcraft along with Input C and Nomic. These hard music loving artists just ended up together, created a few tracks and became a very good friends. The idea of Terrorcraft developed little by little and finally at the end of 2003 they decided to organize a party. The very first Terrorcraft event came true in January 23th 2004. Since then this enegetic concept has evolved a lot and stands tall with a bunch of high quality Dj's and Live performances.

Identity is a collective of producers spread out over Brazil and USA each bringing their own talents and fresh sounds to Drum & Bass taken the steps needed to learn to follow vibes and ideas through an online merging of their home studios. In a lot of respects the Identity sound is truly a yearning for the merging of the dance floor vibe so prevalent in current Drum & Bass and a twisted mix of techno influences into their sound.
Never one has to be tired of BTK has proved his ability to switch between genres with easy as evident in their techno projects and other innovative productions, their determination to smash down the boundries that have long been separating underground music styles grows with every track that is created. His DJ performances are very dynamic and full of energy, always keeping the groove as priority which has led him to perform internationally with a busy schedule, after his debut in Europe in early 2007.

MENTAL (Baltic Storm) aka Chris Wild aka Cipmen Duo

Kristjan Randalu artisti nimega Mental. Muusika huvitas mind juba väga noores eas kuskil 1993 aastal kui olin 13a siis sai hangitud endale esimesed Thunderdome ja erinevaid jungle kogumikud, mida sai siis kodus algelisest tehnikast kuulatud.Sealt arenes edasi muusika mängimise ja tegemise vastu. Sain kutse raadio 2 kui oli aasta 1994 kus viisin läbi noortele suunatud muusika saadet.Korraldasin erinevaid dance evente :P .Aga Hardcore ja jungle ei jäänud ainukeseks stiiliks mis mind käima tiris. sellele lisandusid aastate jooksul põhiliselt kõik elektroonilise muusika stiilid. juba aastal 1996 sai ka kätt proovitud esimeste muusikaprodutseerimis programmidega nagu Sound club ja Fast tracker.Peale mõningast pausi leidsin et Eestis on ikka karmimate stiilide austajaid juurde tekkinud ja sai Eesti hardcore elule hakatud elu sisse puhuma ja nii sündiski minu 1 hardcore yrituste sari KÜTE aastal 2006 11dets. Pärast kui olin mõned üritused vägagi õnnestunult läbi viinud hakkas noortel rohkem ja rohkem tekkima huvi Hardcore muusika vastu ja samas mitte ainult hardcore vaid ka karmimad Drummi ja bassi helid hullutasid noori.. ja juba 2007 aasta veebruaris korraldasin esimese HardKnocks of drumandbassi millest on nyydseks kasvanud yks parimaid karmi DnB.Mentali kui esineja nime alt olen produtseerinud mõned hardcore ja dnb träkid , millest 2on ka nyd ametlikult reliisitud Protogen recordsi alt. influences ja parimad saundid tulevad ikka techno,dnb hardcore etc maaimast.Esinejaid ja artiste on aastatega kogunenud palju keda austan lektroonilise tantsumuusika stiilide eliiti. :D
