This page is dedicated to my sons: Aidan and Solomon, they are the inspiration for everything I do in life now.

"He is best known for his work with Ed Rush, fellow head of the Virus Recordings label, and as a pioneer of the techstep and neurofunk sound. His first single for Metalheadz, 'To Shape the Future'/'Raging Calm' (1997) and his collaborative material with Ed Rush, such as the Wormhole, album (1998) were archetypal developments in the style. The duo followed this debut album with The Creeps (2000) and The Original Doctor Shade (2003), as well as countless singles and remixes. More recently, the duo have returned to form with their (2009) LP 'Travel The Galaxy' containing the modern classic 'Chubrub' and 'No Cure' LP in 2015."

"He also notably did all of the engineering and production work for Grooverider's album Mysteries of Funk, and work on Goldie's 'Saturns Return' LP. In addition, he has produced solo for many labels including Virus, Metalheadz, Prototype, 31 Records, Metro and released in collaboration with many artists, including Ed Rush, Trace, Dom and Roland, Fierce, and his brother Matrix. The first Optical release was in 1996."

"Matt Quinn's savage dance floor productions as Optical (for, among many others, Groove's own label Prototype) have earned him a place in drum'n'bass's premier division.”

"Optical's pure, unchallenged talent shines through on his solo tunes, showcasing an artist well ahead of his time. No doubt the modern sounds of the likes of D-Bridge, Instra:mental and the rest of the minimalist dark revival heads, draw heavy influence not only from Optical himself, but from his inspirations in Jazz, such as Herbie Hancock and Miles Davis. His ability to blend Jazz, Funk and futuristic, technical soundscapes is masterful. From his early work on Metalheadz and Prototype Recordings to his collaborative work on Virus Recordings and the classic Mysteries of Funk (Grooverider's landmark LP), Optical can perhaps qualify as one of the most underrated musicians of the modern era. His mind has crafted sounds which were never before heard, moods which were completely original, and his vision of the future, although ultimately dark and disjointed, is beautifully vivid and addictive. Its a world he pulls you into with each and every track and only a handful of artists can begin to dream of being this successful in their work."

Virus Recordings has become a DnB scene favourite and continues to release the ultimate in DnB vibes, with artists like C4C, Audio, Optiv & BTK, The Upbeats, Noisia, Gridlok, Ram Trilogy, Matrix, Rymetyme, Sonic & Silver, Pendulum, Mefjus,  InsideInfo

Gancher & Ruin (Eatbrain, NMA, Position Chrome, PRSPCT):


Saint Petersburg natives and identical twins Alexey & Dmitry Goncharenko are 2 Drum & Bass / Hardcore producer DJ's that have made a serious mark on the scene in the last 2 years. Their interest in electronic music emerged in late 2003, and by 2007 they began to release their own productions to the delight of both fans and the label bosses they looked up to from the start of their career. With inspiration coming from producers like Technical Itch, The Panacea, Evol Intent, Cooh, Audio and Dylan. The Boys quickly found their own signature style, combining frantic breakbeats with 4/4 kickdrums and complex arrangements, resulting in a hi-voltage musical assault. They have also been instrumental in establishing the "crossbreed" sub genre across a wider audience.

The identical twins on-stage presence is unmatched in its visual aspect as well as its energy, making them a unique live show and very popular across Europe. Having worked in the industry since 16, and now at the tender age of 21, the Terrible Twins have are regulars on the Drum & Bass / Hardcore circuit, headlining regularly in places such as Estonia, Belarus, Austria, Belgium, Portugal, Poland, Hungary, Netherlands and many more. They are residents of  the bibles of dark drum and bass, and hardcore, Therapy Sessions and Prspct, and are even the promoters of both in St Petersburg. They have released tracks on Yellow Stripe, Prspct, LB and Position Chrome.

ZOMBIE CATS - BIOGRAPHY


Zombie Cats 

Touring the world since their breakthrough, Zombie Cats have earned a devoted following for their precise productions 
and their energetic live sets. Drum & bass — especially neurofunk and hard drum & bass — is their life. 
Their passion runs so deep that they actively support new artists and proudly serve as ambassadors for dnb step. 
Now, in 2025, Zombie Cats are on a mission to fulfill their dreams and spread the neurofunk sound in every way possible — whether 
it’s persuading Dr. Dre protégé "The Game" or "G-Unit’s Young Buck" to collaborate on a neurofunk track, or embarking on a remix 
journey with official remixes for legends like Noisia.  

Their credo: Neurofunk — The past, the present & the future
