rejectbeats are DJs, producers and promoters Danny Reject and Kimpossible, who's mission is to push their brand of underground dance music to new levels.
 
RB have performed at events across the UK and Europe and have built a reputation for rocking dance floors wherever they go. Their musical style takes in the best of Bass Music, Breaks and House, with a side helping of Big Beat and Funk.
 
With releases on Big Square Records already under their belt, RB are steadily making a name for themselves as producers as well as DJs. Their tunes are heavily influenced by the music they play, and have become a regular feature in their sets.
 
rejectbeats co-promote Bass[sic] events with Big Nick D and Hubie. Not concentrating on any one music genre, Bass[sic] party's are known for the great music and an equally great atmosphere. RB have also promoted many of their own events as well as the Big Beat Reunion with Cut La Roc.

Bio: 

My name is Dave Holmes, the Bossa Renovator !

I started classical guitar aged 7 and went on to learn various guitar styles and other instruments, studying Popular Music and Sound Recording at Chichester College of Arts, Science and Technology at the end of the 90s. I later studied Audio Engineering and Studio Production at the prestigious London Audio College, Alchemea, where I gained many hours practical time recording bands and using music technology.

In 1998 I moved to Portugal for two years where I began to learn the Portuguese language. From 2001, for a number of years, I made many  trips around Brazil which improved my Portuguese proficiency and led to an appreciation and interest in Brazilian music. 

In 2007 I joined a huge local Samba 'bloco' called Toque Tambor (ToqueTambor.com) , with whom I have performed at events and major festivals in UK and Ireland, often alongside members of one of Brazil's best Samba bands, Monobloco, and at events with other similar Samba groups from around Europe. In this group I gained a great deal of experience playing Samba percussion -  samba being the roots of Bossa Nova.

After many years interest in Brazilian music and the Portuguese language, I used my Music Technology skills to experiment with DJing Brazilian music, using Ableton Live music software. I later started learning and producing some home recordings of myself playing Bossa Nova classics on guitar and voice and uploaded them to Soundcloud, an online music streaming site, which received encouraging feedback from other users.

I now have the Bossa Nova bug, and have a versatile repertoire of Classic Bossa Nova music, along with popular music with a little Brazilian flavour, which I perform around the UK and abroad.
OTHER STUFF
I have continued to develop my Music Technology skills, making electronic tunes under the name Damon Breakz, initiating Cosmic-Core.com, where I release original tracks and remixes alongside my online music producer friends from around the world. 

Our music has been downloaded and listened to thousands of times,all over the globe with exposure on French, New Zealand and Australian Radio. We are about to release our 3rd Album in the Summer.

In earlier years I have been involved in the Dance Music scene in Portugal in the late 90's supporting LTJ Bukem with a live Drum & Bass act in 2000 and worked in Semi-pro studios in London, including credits on the Simple Minds 'War Baby' Single (remix Programming credits).

Welcome and enjoy! Thank you so much for following. When I was very very young and started writing sad love songs my friends began to call me Nicky Blue. Originally from New Jersey. My youth was influenced by Bruce Springsteen to Elvis Costello, Child of the 80's. These days I can't get enough of Tegan & Sara, David Gray, Connor OBerst and Butch Walker! Please cover my songs and let's collaborate!
I produced A Las Vegas Christmas CD 3 years in a row. All the local bands recorded their versions of favorite Christmas songs. 
I also co-wrote Only Love for Leo n the Lioness. 
That's about it, enjoy!

I started making electronic music in 1993 on Atari ST computers and Mac, moving to other software on PC. In 2001 I started using a music program called Reason and in 2005 I finished an album called Homegrown using the artist name fruitional.
 I now make music under the name //Damon Breakz\\. but I have now left this first album here for free listen and paid download on bandcamp: http://damonbreakz.bandcamp.com/

 I am keeping this first album under my 'Fruitional' moniker but I am re-branding a lot of my other old fruitional tunes as Damon Breakz and bringing them up to date using Ableton Live software which I've been using since 2006. 

Enjoy the album and please check out my <a href="http://soundcloud.com/damonbreakz">DamonBreakz</a> page =) Thanks for the support!
