Wednesday | December.13.2006 M3 and Upfront Industries LLC present: Rinse Magazine and District Soul sponsored event THE WINTER SESSIONS MAMPI SWIFT [ Charge Recordings ] - UK **5DNB DEBUT** The prolific "Mampi Swift" aka Phil Anim, formally known as Swift. The addition of "Mampi" to his name not being coincidental; the term meaning "big, strong and quick" depicts everything about him from his pure physique to his amazing "double-dropping" DJing skills. We are going to see a lot happening with Mampi Swift and Charge Recordings this year. He has spent the last 12 months working on his new album - to be released end of April - and if this album doesn't set a precedent - nothing will!!! Working heavily with Blame and 720 Recordings - this duo will certainly be suprising a lot of people over the next few months. With the current EP "Rainman" flying off the shelves and all his classic tunes regularly being played out around the world there is no stopping this guy. Being careful to not over expose his new tunes - they are rarely released prior to promo's - this guy is a very clever business man. He relentlessly still plays with dubplates/vinyl and refuses to use CD's when playing gigs - he is wisely attempting to keep the record industry alive for future generations. LOGISTICS [ Hospital | Liquid V ] - UK **Now More Than Ever LP Release Party** After Exploding onto the scene with his first Hospital release "Replay" in March 2004, Logistics went full steam ahead. Next up was "Together" which can only be described as an anthem, smashing up dancefloors everywhere from Land's End to John O Groats, it was finally released not only on the "Future Sound Of Cambridge EP" but also in VIP form as part of the mighty "Spacejam" EP, which continues to sell - many moons after its initial release. With a Logistics remix now becoming one of the hottest things in drum and bass it didn’t take long before producers came knocking… remixes included, one for US house crew Mood To Swing for Zinc's Bingo Label, a remix for Friction on Tru Playaz and don't forget his seminal remix of Leviticus's 90s classic "The Burial" for Liquid V. Now in 2006 and established by IDJ as “Soulful D&B’s brightest young thing†Logistics is ready to unleash the 25 track monster debut, “Now More Than Everâ€, showcasing two sides to this young prodigy in one fantastic album, "Believe the hype", this is the drum and bass debut of 2006. IC3 [ Movement | The End ] - UK **5DNB DEBUT** One of the scene's biggest characters: This hugely popular and versatile MC is equally respected and admired for his countless residencies around the globe at both liquid nights, breaks night and rave nights alike. Best seen alongside his good friend and partner in crime Mampi Swift, the 'awesome twosome' guarantee a high energy extravaganza. Always a compliment to the music… IC3 is a true showman.

Artists like Sub Focus are what "Best Breakthrough Producer" awards are made for. CHASE & STATUS [ Ram Records | Bingo ] - UK Saul Milton and Will Kennard really do start as they mean to go on. Since the birth of their drum and bass career in 2004, things have been moving extremely rapidly for this duo.

DJ's: Andy C, Mampi Swift, Friction, Zinc, Pendulum, Fabio and Bad Company have shown huge support for their releases which has only been further affirmed by regular radio airplay. Their sets reflect on a wide spectrum of drum&bass, as is shown in their Jan 2005 Studio Mix on DnB Arena, their guest mix on 1Xtra and of course with their live DJ sets. 2005 has been a good year for the duo with 'Barbarians', 'Menace' and, 'Glitch' all dropping on Renegade Hardware, 'Loader' on BC Presents, and a remix for Bingo of Mood 2 Swing's 'I Got Love'.

Wednesday | September.06.2006 M3 and Upfront Industries LLC present: Rinse Magazine, District Soul and DCDNB sponsored event THE RESIDENCE HIVE [ Violence | Metalheadz ] - SF Since the inception of the label, Hive’s musical output has grown ever more assertive and daring, personified most clearly by “Neo,†one of 2003’s great anthems. “Neo†has reached into virtually every corner of drum and bass, from dedicated ravers to disaffected breaks aficionados, binding fans of different stripes together in common cause. Hive has also been spending more time in the studio with collaborators, including Keaton of The Usual Suspects. The two of them were responsible “The Plague,†another massive anthem of 2003, released on Hardware. 2004 saw the release of their even more broadly appealing follow-up “Bring it On,†for Violence. Tough, propulsive, forged out of both the traditional sampled aesthetic and leading sound designs of contemporary drum and bass, the sound of Hive today bears the imprint of an artist searching for new ways to reinterpret the music by his own lights. Neither a retrospective purist, nor a follower of fashion, Hive’s music, his DJing, and his label strike a steely, inspiring balance, hewing closely to a tight creative vision that has propelled him into the forefront of drum and bass wherever it thrives. LOGISTICS [ Hospital | Liquid V ] - UK After Exploding onto the scene with his first Hospital release "Replay" in March 2004, Logistics went full steam ahead.

Wednesday | September.06.2006 M3 and Upfront Industries LLC present: Rinse Magazine, District Soul and DCDNB sponsored event THE RESIDENCE HIVE [ Violence | Metalheadz ] - SF Since the inception of the label, Hive’s musical output has grown ever more assertive and daring, personified most clearly by “Neo,†one of 2003’s great anthems. “Neo†has reached into virtually every corner of drum and bass, from dedicated ravers to disaffected breaks aficionados, binding fans of different stripes together in common cause. Hive has also been spending more time in the studio with collaborators, including Keaton of The Usual Suspects. The two of them were responsible “The Plague,†another massive anthem of 2003, released on Hardware. 2004 saw the release of their even more broadly appealing follow-up “Bring it On,†for Violence. Tough, propulsive, forged out of both the traditional sampled aesthetic and leading sound designs of contemporary drum and bass, the sound of Hive today bears the imprint of an artist searching for new ways to reinterpret the music by his own lights. Neither a retrospective purist, nor a follower of fashion, Hive’s music, his DJing, and his label strike a steely, inspiring balance, hewing closely to a tight creative vision that has propelled him into the forefront of drum and bass wherever it thrives. LOGISTICS [ Hospital | Liquid V ] - UK After Exploding onto the scene with his first Hospital release "Replay" in March 2004, Logistics went full steam ahead. Next up was "Together" which can only be described as an anthem, smashing up dancefloors everywhere from Land's End to John O Groats, it was finally released not only on the "Future Sound Of Cambridge EP" but also in VIP form as part of the mighty "Spacejam" EP, which continues to sell - many moons after its initial release. With a Logistics remix now becoming one of the hottest things in drum and bass it didn’t take long before producers came knocking… remixes included, one for US house crew Mood To Swing for Zinc's Bingo Label, a remix for Friction on Tru Playaz and don't forget his seminal remix of Leviticus's 90s classic "The Burial" for Liquid V. Now in 2006 and established by IDJ as “Soulful D&B’s brightest young thing†Logistics is ready to unleash the 25 track monster debut, “Now More Than Everâ€, showcasing two sides to this young prodigy in one fantastic album, "Believe the hype", this is the drum and bass debut of 2006.
