emplate first heard the sounds of Jungle/Drum & Bass in the summer of '96 and was instantly enchanted. A drummer, and heavily influenced by hip hop, metal, industrial, classical and jazz; emplate believes drum and bass embodies everything he had been listening to and loved before it.

In '99 he knew that listening was not enough. He needed more than mixtapes and parties to get his fix. Inspired by the DJs around him and his love for DnB, he dedicated himself to seeking knowledge, selection and skill. emplate soon became respected both technically and for his sets that interweave neurofunk and darker, minimal DNB tunes that are often peppered with liquid dancefloor tracks if the mood is right.

In 2006, emplate became a resident DJ at the former weekly and nationally recognized DnB event "in:verse". Always interested in moving the scene forward, emplate helped develop The Cleveland Drum n Bass Coalition and (216)BASS, both local platforms that Northeast Ohio DnB heads used as a vehicle to further their careers. In August of 2014, emplate joined up with Rockers Music. Excited about having a DnB label out of Cleveland, emplate spearheaded the local launch of the Rockers 175 label with the “Step Inside” & "Kismet" monthly events held at the Beachland Ballroom, bringing in names such as: Lenzman, Doc Scott, Total Science, Zero T, The Prototypes, Crissy Criss, DJ SS, Aphrodite, Dara, AK1200, Dieselboy & more. After stepping away from the label & the turbulent life of event promotions, he focused on being the best DJ he could be...taking his mixing to new levels & determined to prove that he's underrated, not only in his hometown & state, but the U.S. as a whole.

For two decades, emplate has been known for his diverse selection of up to date releases, promos & unreleased tracks & plays accordingly to timeslot, crowd & vibe.

My name is Jay Somerville. I live in Edinburgh. I have been mixing since 2013. I use technic 2010’s with tracktor timecodes and a x1.  I mix a lot of techno, tech-house I also mix drum and bass, jungle and so on .I have a wide range of music I listen to and play.  My first gig was at Studio 24 in Edinburgh. A good mate of mine called Jamie (Beat Master General) runs a night in town called Shake Yer Shoulders (SYS) he was running a night called pop yer cherry in other words. It is for virgin dj’s to play there first set. My first set went really well, I had a lot of good feedback about the night. Since then I have played there again and I have also played at a few other nights/festivals/free parties: k-os audio, Wub Hut, Air 3 Radio, Audio Soup Festival, System anonymous free party. And I have just started a residency with Asylum, fourbyfour and fourplay. I hope I keep getting to play out I have met so many good people through music and hope to keep building a big family.

Nothing To Lose (aka James Galloway) is a DJ and Producer of mostly Drum & Bass.

He was one of the promoters behind Oh My God (largest monthly DnB night in Manchester) for 5 years and was DnB and Dubstep resident at Sankeys (at the time voted #1 club in the world) for 3 years.

A release on heavy hitter Audio Animals, saw James’s debut single, Running Out of Time, catapult to the top of the Dubstep Charts scoring Audio Animals their first #1 and at one point breaking the top 30 of any track of any genre for the week.

2014 and 2015 saw several releases on his own imprint Grand Theft Audio Recordings as well as playing and organising many big events. With tracks forthcoming a few different labels in the next few months, Nothing To Lose is one to look out for.

--------------------
From the Midwest, to the City by the Bay, to the Land of Enchantment…

“Brett Baker” aka “ESKR” …immortalized in the electronic music community as one of the most profoundly inspired sound designers and recording engineers of our times, tactfully infiltrating the world stage for more than twenty years. This highly motivated, relentlessly driven, innovator of Drum & Bass has been pushing the sound forward since the turn of the century. ESKR’s legacy is the very definition of dedication and consistency.

Honing his incredible talents for over two decades now, ESKR began his journey in Minneapolis as a Jungle and Breakcore selector in 1999. As his love for the underground music scene evolved, he simultaneously discovered what would be an undying passion for electronic music production, diving head-first into the never-ending abyss of studio gear acquisition. With the purchase of a Roland MC-505 Groovebox and a Boss SP-202 Dr. Sample, he was well on his way to building a life-long career in the music industry.

Under the alias, “Azrael” he hit the ground running in the year 2000 with a publication on Pure Pleasure Records, and shortly after international DJ performances in France. His debut release, “Anxiety” appeared on a various artists compilation of cutting-edge underground sound entitled, “TwinTown Technique Volume 1”.

Venturing further out into the world, ESKR relocated to San Francisco, California in 2001, where he quickly became a figurehead of the Bay Area Drum & Bass scene. Working as a vinyl associate for several years at DanceRecords[dot]com, ESKR also held down residencies at Solution, Rhythm Method, and Trauma, all popular nightlife havens in San Francisco’s early 2000s era. Continuing his pursuit of uncompromising musical integrity, he formed the Drum & Bass collective known as, “Company Truck” producing a slew of heavy hitting, hard stepping, all original releases that never failed to deliver a colossal ruckus to any sound system and every dance floor.

In 2007, ESKR began producing Dubstep under the alias, “Ceeker”. In two short years, he had signed more than twenty releases to over a dozen well established labels such as Betamorph, Mal Label, Filthy Digital, Shift, Abducted Dub, Stupid Fly, and many others, continuously topping best seller charts in the genre.

ESKR took a brief hiatus shortly after 2010, while he achieved a Bachelor of Science in computer networking, graduating at the top of his class. Fortunately for the rest of us, this short pause did not detour his ambition to produce quality, bass heavy, electronic music. In fact, this drove him to work even harder. Since returning to the studio, ESKR has crafted literally hundreds of Drum & Bass tunes from his studio currently located in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Tunes that are now being snatched up by major record labels far and wide.

As far as the future is concerned, ESKR understands very well and appreciates the impact of his hard work and perseverance. He not only commands the attention of, but also directs the evolution of a movement that he has always been at the forefront of. Keep your eyes and ears peeled for this prolific talent, who’s name will continue to permeate Bass Music culture for many years to come!
