Adam F makes records that both define and defy the times. "Kaos" is visionary stuff.

"I think that Adam F Is one of the most blazin' upcoming producers out there on the hip hop side. He knows what he's doing. He's official. I think he has the potential to become a Dr. Dre." LL Cool J

"From the 'KAOS' project this Redman joint is ridiculous. Five weeks at No.1 on the Westwood chart, this is the hottest beat blazing up the streets right now from Funkmaster Flex in NYC to UK [Adam F] this shit is big baby." Tim Westwood

"When people hear this in a club it's gonna be like whoa, that shit's bananas! It's like it's over man!" Redman

With a now matured dance floor sound forged out of years of djing and attention to detail, baron has developed an ability to create his own sound and that in turn has made him a producer that is watched avidly, a quality which he has backed up with an understand of all avenues of DJing.

DJ SEOUL [ Direct Drive ] - NYC

A major force in the stateside drum and bass scene, New York City-based DJ Seoul made his debut behind the decks back in 1993. After several years of DJing and party promotions at underground scenes nationwide, sensing the need for a weekend drum and bass night, Seoul began a weekly Saturday night event called Direct Drive in 1998. Direct Drive has received international acclaim as the party which consistently hosts the finest in US and UK talent and Seoul is now widely recognized as one of the top drum and bass promoters and DJs on the east coast. Expanding on the success of the Direct Drive party, Seoul formed an event production and promotion company with the same name. Currently, Seoul is focusing his energy on producing tracks in his recording studio as well as overseeing the launch of a clothing line and record label.

DJ's HAUL AND MASON [ Quality | Afrodisiac Sound System | Dakah Hip-Hop Orchestra ] - LA

Los Angeles based DJ/Producers Haul and Mason are firmly establishing themselves as the party-rocking DJ duo to watch in the coming years. The two So-Cal residents have been founding and maintaining residencies at club nights [notably their ever-jumping Quality night at Zanzibar in Santa Monica and Milk], producing original tracks, playing live with bands, and blowing up dance floors all around the country for the past five years as a team. They’ve shared the stage with such artists as Common, Mixmaster Mike of the Beastie Boys, Africa Bambaataa, Z-Trip, DJ Krush, Roni Size, and the Beat Junkies. DJ Haul and Mason’s unique approach to four turntable performances seriously ups the ante of the art form, incorporating hip-hop turntablism and house-style mixing into meticulously planned party-rocking sets that, while focus mainly on hip-hop, cover all types of dance music. In recent months, attention has certainly perked regarding the duo as they’ve landed national print campaigns with Ocean Pacific (OP Classic) and Live Mechanics clothing, won the URB Magazine 2002 Mixtape Contest, been chosen as Los Angeles’ resident DJs for the innovative Scion Metro events, and Haul’s having been named best Selector by LA Weekly Magazine for 2003. If all that isn’t enough, Haul and Mason have recently been selected by URB magazine for the “Next 100” issue for 2004.
