About Harrison Crump
Is that his real name? Is he from Europe? People sometimes get a little confused about Harrison Crump and who he is, so let’s set the record straight.

Yes, it is his real name and no, he’s not from Europe. This Chicago born and bred native still lives in “The CHI” and has become that rarest commodity known in dance music – a highly sought-after producer, remixer, singer and songwriter. This guy’s songwriting abilities have led to a close musical relationship with long-time friend Felix da Housecat and have earned him production credits on P-Diddy’s dance music project Divided Souls.

Producing since the early nineties, Crump’s long list of credits can be found on labels like Dust Traxx and Subliminal Records. He has worked with an incredible amount of talent in his various roles both with-in the House and Hip-Hop genre. He’s appeared on a plethora of internationally respected labels including Pomchat, Play It Again Sam, Nepenta, and Essence. This constant exposure to the masses has given him the ability to partner with Essence Records and again with Sole Unlimited to create Bird Ice Records and Hump Records. Continuing work through BMP; 2005 has already seen great things from Crump. His first release of the year Ride has been praised by Notion Magazine with 41/2 stars and James Mowbray charted it at #8 in Mix Mag – January 2005.


Crump released more than five EP’s in 2006 and played throught the world in places like South Africa, Amsterdam, Belgium and the US. “The Ride” (Harrison’s first artist album) released in the fall of 2006 has been receiving rave reviews throughout Europe and the US. So much so, the album will also be releasing in South Africa next year. Don’t let all of this studio success fool you; Harrison is as solid a mixer as he is producer and with a resume like this, it’s no wonder he takes any chance he can to play his music in front of a crowd. Spending his time between his studio and the road (with a live vocal/DJ set) Harrison plans to re-introduce himself to the masses this year at both large and small scale events throughout the World.

Harrison Crump - Deep down Inside (Michel Cleis Remix)

Cassy is Catherine Britton, born in Kingston Upon-Thames to a Caribbean Father and an Austrian mother. At a young age, she moved to Austria and attended school in Vienna. Already accustomed to the life of an entertainer as both a singer and actress, Cassy was ready when she was introduced to DJ'ing in Vienna. Cassy would tag along with an older female DJ, Electric Indigo, to gigs and it was decided that Cassy should learn in order to not pay for her trips. Cassy eventually ended up in Geneva where she was introduced to Luciano at a friend's studio in 2003. Cassy soon moved to Berlin where she was offered a residency at the legendary Panoramabar in Berghain after she DJ'ed for Luciano's Cadenza party.

Since then, Cassy has grown into an internationally recognized DJ and producer. Her production credits include collaborations with Steve Bug, Ricardo Villalobos, Luciano, DJ Elin, Dave The Hustler, Mathew Jonson and Swayzak. She has a diverse body of work on such highly-regarded labels as Playhouse, Perlon, Ostgut Ton and Cocoon. Cassy also runs her own self-titled label as an outlet for her unique sound. In addition to her work as a producer, Cassy provides vocals for many of her tracks. In 2011, along with her recurring presence at Panoramabar, Cassy has additional residencies at Rex in Paris and Trouw in Amsterdam, the city in which she currently resides.

When it comes to her DJ sets, Cassy doesn't subscribe to any certain genre, instead she embraces all sounds from house to techno. Her approach to any dancefloor, whether it be for 30 or 3000 people, is about creating a distinctive drive balanced with a sense of warmth and soul. Cassy entices her audience to the dancefloor with a groove and then, with each new track, she gently guides the listener into the present moment. For Cassy, DJing is about presenting herself through her mixes and track selection, to intuit her environment and go with the flow of the changing energy in a room. It's why crowds all across the world now recognize Cassy as a truly special talent.

Cassy Britton - A Plea For Me

There are two artists with this name.

1]
As co-workers of the legendary, snobby Amsterdam-based record store Concerto long-time friends Z!P and Tom Waist met each other musically mid-2007 through the release of a mix cd by Boris Dlugosch entitled Radio Disco. Intrigued by the shocking similarity in taste for electronic music, the two decided to do a few mix sessions together.

Tom Waist had, by that time, been dj-ing for about four years without getting any real exposure. Though he had become an unofficial resident dj of Club 8’s popular Robo tRock party. Zip, meanwhile, had been fine-tuning his dj-technique in the private surroundings of his bedroom. After a few sessions the duo realized that the collaboration was just what their dj-sets needed and so they amazed friend and foe when they showed up at RobotRock’s two year anniversary…together. That particular party would be the start of an amazingly rich collaboration and the beginning of HOMEWORK’s history. Never again would the two be seen without their signature dress code: white shirts and black ties.

Since then HOMEWORK has murdered dance floors all over Amsterdam with their enthusiastic style and blogger banging electro tunes. Their taste embraces the entire electro spectrum, from Ed Banger to Turbo and from Boys Noize to Kitsuné.
Both in form and in function HOMEWORK takes their inspiration from dj’s like Tiga and Soulwax and from artists such as Justice< /a> and Daft Punk.
