Ukraine born Serj Kravchenko aka Sj Ocean began his musical journey on local hip-hop venues as a beatmaker and MC. The Prodigy's "The Fat Of The Land" cassete tape happened to be his first electronic music experience around 97 at school where everyone talked about techno music being the cool new thing. In his own words, "it sounded like total destruction' and he was blown away. He managed to setup a basic home studio and started experimenting.

Refusing to be stuck within one genre, SJ has spent a lot of time writing and performing heavy metal influenced music in bands "Pictures Inside Me", "Oceans Red" and "Make Me Famous', touring around USA and hitting Billboard Charts. It has to be stated that the music those bands performed was full of crazy ideas and electronic experiments of his, which made it sound unique and distinguishable among others.

Then he realized he needs to concentrate more on EDM itself and write his full original tracks, influenced by a vast array of music. His talent was soon spotted by Noz Recordings, who immediately snapped him up at the middle of 2014 as an exclusive label signing for his debut single "Get High". Now SJ is the resident of Criminal Tribe Records and has his debut EP "Broken By Nature" released. His music resonates with an exciting energy and it's ready to conquer your hearts and smash your ears!

DJ Wardove is an electronic underground artist, music producer, and private IT consultant from Coal Hill, AR. He is an original member of the Wardove Family, an underground music collective/hip-hop crew that was founded in the general interest of creating free recordings with the artists CydeCovert (of The Earwigs & the PHORX), Savage Systems, and Oxygen Elmo (of the Mediocre Masters of Ceremony AKA Mediocre MCs, PHORX, & Hatecrime) and other members of the Portland/Gresham underground.  They never released any official recordings as a collective but many of their materials were folded into later projects. Although many of its members still maintain contact and occasionally work on projects together the collective's nature began to change with time and gradually dissolved in or around 2008.  In 2010 DJ Wardove co-founded the net label 'smell sign discs' in Portland, Oregon and went on to produce several albums with his friend and frequent collaborator Oxygen Elmo who left the management of this label in his hands and is concurrently engaged in the creation of a new underground cassette label as well as the further pursuit of his own paintings. In 2017, DJ Wardove joined the New Cocoon underground collective founded by Wormhole and Slew in 2005.

DJ Wardove's name is referential to his experiences as a former member of 'The Wardove Family' (the underground music collective/hip-hop crew mentioned above), the hip-hop/punk DIY aestheticism he intends to evoke, heavy use of 'discs' as media, his roots as a veteran of the U.S. Army, and the fact that he closely identifies himself as a member of the 'hip-hop' generation despite whatever genre or sub-genre he may be producing in, the color of his skin, or ethnic background.
