DJ TONES
Tones is one of the Uk’s biggest rising stars and over the last few years has carved
his way into the Hardcore Techno rave scene with a vengeance. From an early age Tones
was interested in music with attitude and first started listening to heavy metal and rock music.
However going to a rave in early 95, gave him the taste for something really special
that would influence his life professionally and socially - Hardcore Techno. After years
of going out to the various events, clubs and raves, Tones became more and more influenced
by the Dj’s performing week in week out and decided to try his hand at mixing.
He bought a second hand set of direct drive turntables and a mixer and started practicing.
The immediate hook of mixing records he had seen played out gave him a real passion for more.
For a few years Tones then began to play at small clubs, gigs and friends nights and he found
himself wanting a career in music and seriously thought about what direction to go. The decision
to go to university to study a degree in Music Technology and Sound Engineering was the springboard
he needed. While he got his first proper gig at the mighty North, a b2b DJ set with friend DJ Enigma
in the main room at Lakota in Bristol. This set really established Tones and assured him that’s this
is what he wanted to.
From that moment on Tones knew his direction, and knew the hard work must start now! After a few years
of playing out regularly he was very fortunate to become part of TDC Promotions DJ Agency
(Run by North Boss Andy Vortex) and began his appearances up and down the country as part of the North
Radical Technology crew. Tones music style is very unique, his focus and passion lies with huge filtered
kickdrums and intense dancefloor tracks mainly from Holland, Italy, France and a blend of his own tracks
which will smash any dancefloor. His style and originality has now got him bookings all over the UK and
now Europe, which has seen him catapulted onto all the main events, such as H.T.I.D, Slammin Vinyl, Uproar,
North Tours, Ravers Re united and Oxygen to name a few. He has also released his own track, a collaboration
with friend DJ Dolphin on Bryan Fury’s Provoke Records. The track was a mid paced hardcore techno tune defining
both their musical styles. He also has forth coming releases on Uk Record label Cheeze Graterz.
So what more can we say? See him live, you won’t be disappointed!

and industrial hardcore and have had some excellent releases on the mighty Third movement
label,Motormouth recordz and Italys Avanti digital to name a few !
TECK NICK
This led to smaller bookings in his local area playing back rooms. His main break came when a promoter heard some of his tracks and
gave him his first booking in 2005 at HTID at AIR in Birmingham. With time his style started to change due to harder beats and
embracing European influences. Now resident with the HTID/ THE HARDER THEY COME and DRUM DISCIPLES he can be found playing monthly
nationwide, has received international bookings and has fully embraced the harder sounds from slow driving techno to industrial and frenchcore.

BENSON
Bensons first official Vibealite booking came in april 2002 and it wasn't long before Vibealite offered him a permanant residency which then led even bigger bookings with the likes of Hardcore Till I Die ( HTID ), Hardcore Heaven, North, Illusion, and many many more over the next few years to come.
In February 2003 Benson was to get his first taste in promoting events when he joined up with good friend Barney and worked on the Jedi Hardcore events in stoke on trent as a resident dj and promotor and this continued until 2008 when they did there last event.
Over the years Benson has played all over the uk and out in spain playing at just about every hardcore event going, theres far to many to name but more details can be found on www.djbenson.com and also on facebook www.facebook.com/djbenson
Not
content with with just playing gigs, Benson started his own radioshow
called the Sunday Comedown Sessions with Dj Hatty on Hardcore Revolution
radio and then later took his show to Krafty radio which spanned over 4
years and had many guests and even Joey Riot as a resident for a while
and also went on to become a live xmas event in whitchurch
2006 the next step was to be taken into the world of producing music, having
been busy in the home studio for some time it wasnt until 2008 when his sound
was starting to come together and writting hardcore tracks with Dj Bruxx was a
massive help. Having now written just short of 30 tracks a change in direction
was to come.
Benson took the decision to leave the Hardcore scene in 2009 after 19 years and
needed a new challenge and a new goal, going back to his roots for a while
playing oldskool house and italia house it was the Dutch Hardstyle scene where
he rediscovered his love of music attending events such as Defqon 1 in holland
was to change his whole perception of what he wanted to achieve.
Again Benson teamed up with Dj Bruxx and between them wrote there first
hardstyle track together under the name of Bassfreakz, allthough this is there
only hardstyle track together it was the starting point Benson needed to
re-kick start his career in a different music scene.
2011 and Bensons first Hardstyle release on Deton8 is a remix of the Bassfreakz
- Bassfreakin Bitch. There is more to come from Benson so watch this space..

DJ MASH UP
Dj MashUp and head honcho of Mash-Up Recordings started out when he attended
a warehouse rave back in 2002 and of course got hooked on what he had been a
part of that night, which drove him to wanting to Produce and Mix music.
The real move began in 2003 when he got him self some old style sound lab belt
drive turntables and started to get into mixing music.Mainly HardHouse & Hardcore
to begin with! But like many others he got that taste for Dark Evil Harder baselines
like Hard trance and of course Hardstyle.
Now being comfy and well settled in the hard baseline music MashUp is now producing
his own Hard trance & Hardstyle tunes often fusing the two together to create a truly evil formula.
Check back in the near future for many things from Dj MashUp!
