Stanislav Sevostyanikhin is a Russian electronic music artist, DJ and label owner, known under the pseudonyms Dissident and Kontext. Residing in St.Petersburg, he spends most of his time slicing beats, synthesizing sounds and shaping trends in modern music  culture. His broad range of influences have shaped his diverse and innovative style, although primarily focused on Drum& Bass, Stan has never restricted his music to one style or genre. 
Stan began electronic music production in the late 90's. After gaining some studio experience he formed the Drum & Bass group Dissonance with friends. They had some success nationally in Russia with their live performances and releases . In 2001 he left the project and went on to produce solo under the Dissident moniker  honing and polishing his sound until his first 12” vinyl release “Technecium” (ft. Paul B) was released on the prestigious British record label Renegade Hardware in 2002. 
Today, Dissident is considered a veteran of the Russian Drum & Bass scene. His discography includes 9 albums and a multitude of 12” singles and EPs on labels such as Offshore, Hospital, Subtle Audio, KOS.MOS, Microfunk, Subvert Central, Counter Intelligence,  Subtle Audio, Pinecone Moonshine and many others. 
Under the guise of Kontext, he set out to write music without being bound by genre, showcasing the diversity and extent of Stan’s production skills and his experiments with Techno, Bass Music, IDM. Kontext was exclusively signed to Bristol-based label Immerse  and has received great press from magazines like FACT, DE:Bug, Knowledge, Groove, TimeOut & SPb. 
“It's kind of special to consider how it can hit you so hard when it's so measured and built so simply; and for me that's one of the marks of a fantastic talent.” (Oli Marlow, The Quietus)
As a DJ he has performed across the globe, known for his own Spare Senses mix series and podcasts for Electronic Explorations, Bassdrive, Jungletrain, Atmoteka and many more.
If all this wasn't enough to keep Stan busy, he also runs his own Opposide Records imprint and is involved in several side projects including TV & Movie production.

A lover of the drum n bass sounds from the rolling basslines to the dark n heavy neuro, i love most of it :) Throw in some psychedelic influences from full-on psytrance to progressive to the sexy downtempo psydub and you have most of my flavours in one basket

I have been listening to club music since 1995.

K2 ,  involved to the electronic music scene since 2008 , started to blast behind the decks by late 2012 . 
In the begining there was , Dubstep . Experienced with full power , rising series of events , the vibe was fun but needed adjustments on energy ,and so the will to dive deeper his experience in more electronic underground music sides , began . Droped off dubstep to root deeper into melodically rhythms .   . The change came quickly with the adoption of a plateau bombareded with incredible diversity of sub-generes . Now he fits into Drum and Bass genre , feeling absolutely reborn  . 
Experiencing the sounds of different well known labels in this genre, his will was to go strictly underground with the sound itself , presenting the ' Crem a la crem ' in DnB , exploiting the head labels such as Metalheads , Renegade H. , Dispatch , Critical , V Recordings ... just to name a few .
Inspired by  sound engineers , producers , and Dj-s in this area , his sound and rithym gain improvements on the way , the energy and vibe delivered as well as the quality of his mixes felt the change . Influencedto build up much carefully selected tracklist , and their position in the mixes ,well matched with his ideas of wave harmonic , both explosive and rough sides of it's mixes. 
Involved and dedicated to this path , K2 feels blessed to be part in one of the most iconic crew of Drum and Bass in Romania , Freenetik Kru ( part of Freenetik Party ) . 
Expect the Drum and Bass heavy runner ranging betweeen 170 to 176 bmp, to deliver the impact of an atomic bomb released with full blast mixed with Industrial Rollers , Old Scholl Breaks to hit you knees and full force on Crunchy Basslines in Modern new Jungle Era for you , dubheadz ! 
As he often warns before deadlines : " Get your shoes ready , it's RAVE time ! " .

Ant TC1 along with Hidden Agenda founded Dispatch Recordings back in 2001, Ant originally helped out with the management side of the label before finding his feet within the realms of production; which was a natural progression for him having DJ’d on pirate radio and in clubs from the age of 14 (since 1992).  His first release alongside frequent production partner Stress Level appeared on Dispatch after almost 3 years of hard work getting their collective sound where they felt it needed to be before even thinking about turning on a DAT recorder.  After their first release hit the stores they quickly picked up a wealth of DJ support across their early material and went on to release for a who’s who list of established Drum & Bass record labels including the likes of Renegade, CIA, Advanced, Critical Records Integral, Liquid V, Commercial Suicide, Good Looking Records, Bingo Beats and Samurai Music.

By demand remix work started to feature heavily within their output and the duo went on to remix for the likes of Hidden Agenda, Chris SU, Artificial Intelligence, Kabuki, Total Science, Optical & Ryme Time (Jagged Edge), Atlantic Connection, Tactile & DJ Marky.  Branching out and working with other producers such as Survival, DLR & Philth has only furthered experience Ant’s skills at the controls over the years, Ant has also released his own solo material more recently on top of remixing for the likes of Lomax on Integral Records.  In 2014 Ant realised a lifetime ambition, securing his first ever release for the legendary Metalheadz label “Hungry For Atmosphere” alongside Mako, DLR & Villem with further releases for the label and counting going into 2024.

Ant’s production output has featured on a mass of compilations and mix CD’s compiled by the likes of Shy FX, LTJ Bukem, Total Science, AI, Spectrasoul, Klute and Brian G.  Additionally his work has featured very heavily within the radio shows of Friction, Grooverider, Fabio, Goldie, Bailey & Rene LaVice on their respective BBC Radio 1 slots over the years as well as BBC 1Xtra where Ant once hosted his own one-off 4 hour show, he has since additionally made 2 guest DJ appearances for DJ Friction on his Radio 1 show.  His DJ’ing work has seen him play all over the globe from Adelaide to Los Angeles, from Hong Kong to Sarajevo, Vancouver to Bangkok and last but by no means least regularly UK and EU wide. Additionally for the most part of the decade beyond 2010 Ant also worked as the Artist Manager for both Outlook and Dimensions Festival in Croatia, leading up the booking process, budgets and travel aspects for the festival.

Fast forward through to 2024; Ant is now responsible for the lead label management roles of both Metalheadz & Dispatch Recordings and is based in Thailand, with a purpose built studio room recently finished the plan (alongside managing a mass of planned record label releases) is to get back to focusing on writing music more consistently than he ever has previously.
