(dj) Crossfire started producing drum 'n bass music back in 1999.
After a couple of years of complete focus he got picked up by the infamous dj Trace from DSCI4 recordings UK.

2002 : Welcome to Wonderland

dj Trace signed the Crossfire track "Hydra" (on Spy Technologies LP vinyl - summer 2002) for his label, DSCI4. Hydra quickly became one of Crossfire's best received tunes and crawled into the playlists of Ed Rush & Optical, Pendulum, Bad Company, Andy C, D. Kay, Black Sun Empire, Paul B and many others..

Quickly another vinyl release on MC Ryme Tyme's  1210 label followed with the rollers "Hideout" and "Swordfight" (autumn 2002).

Trace decided to give Crossfire's own 12inch on DSCI4 008, "Counterforce" and "Firebolt" (2003).
The tune "Counterforce" got serious airplay from 
Pendulum, Ed Rush & Optical, DJ Bailey, Concord Dawn, Loxy, DJ Ink, Klute, Paul B etc.

Crossfire Recordings started off in 2003 with the track "Skywarp" and many other releases followed.

Bookings came in and the name Crossfire started to ring a bell in the mind of a lot of drum 'n bass techstep lovers.
(dj) Crossfire has played in Belgium, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Holland, France, Italy, UK, Estonia, Portugal, Czech, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland, Italy, Moscow, Latvia...

Skarab is Phill Waugh, as one of the founding members & representative of The Village. He has been performing for 9 years. His style is full on, energetic take no prisoners! 
Originally claiming the twilight witching hour slots, with his first EU tour under his belt with some well spent time in Portugal playing alongside, Khopat, Outer Signal, Menog, Alienn & Ex-Gen to name a few. In time he has somewhat adapted & matured his style, moving more towards a thrashing full on adrenalin filled midnight or mid-day re-energizing sound wave throw down! Rest assured any line-up featuring Skarab is set to blow you away!

Formed and run by Krushed &amp; Sorted, African Dope is one of South Africa's premier independent labels.

www.shop.africandope.co.za

Their break came after they created the music for (ironically enough) a tobacco company's cinema advertisement which brought in the cash to set up the label and release their first CD, Acid (tm) Made Me Do It, in April 2000 to much acclaim, while their "African Dope Vol 1" compilation won the 2002 "Best Dance Album" SAMA award.
Never fixed on one style or genre, the label is dedicated to showcasing the finest local leftfield dub, hip-hop, dancehall, breakbeat, and drum 'n bass emerging from the streets of South Africa. Distribution in South Africa is by Soul Candi Distribution (as of July 2007, previously by Sony), in Europe by Lowlands distribution (Benelux), Al!ve AG (Germany), and CD1D.com (France), and they have comprehensive digital distribution via INgrooves (USA), Artspages (Scandinavia / China), Blue Pie Productions (Australia) and Vidzone.tv (UK).
The pre-2009 logo was designed by Watkin Tudor Jones after an amicable settlement with lawyers representing the Cape Outspan company whose own logo the previous one was just a little too similar to.
