The Hutt features Disprove, and is as massive as Jabba. Beginning life as a military-style march, the beats soon start bouncing around on this one, teaming up with some electro-style top end and crunching bass notes. Creeping synths are added in to complete the picture, resulting in one hell of a piece of music.

Disprove, Inward, Hanzo & Randie - The Hutt

OPTIV is a name firmly embedded in both the forefront and deep memory of any true fan of drum & bass. He emerged into the scene with the seminal Cause4Concern sound, which made an enduring mark that influenced many of today’s great artists, including Noisia, and helped to mould the tech aesthetic that we –know today. The Optiv moniker erupted into existence a few years after the establishment of Cause4Concern, with the founding of his own label Red Light Records in 2002, an imprint that continues to be influential in both launching the careers of promising artists such as Inward, Hanzo & Randie, Impak as well as putting out high quality audio from established artists such as Tobax, Telekinesis, The Upbeats and Black Sun Empire. This is in addition to running the pioneering C4C Recordings imprint, that’s been committed to pushing forward-thinking tech for close to two decades now.
Over the course of Optiv’s prolific and long-running solo career, he’s released on a significant range of labels, including leading taste-makers such as Virus, Playaz, Blackout, Subtitles, Eatbrain, Hospital, Shogun Audio, Invisible and Dispatch to name just a few. His commitment to a pure analogue sound, inspired by his techno and electro roots, in combination with a stripped aesthetic that requires audio purity, has ensured that his sound remains both timeless and ahead of the pack. With years of experience behind him to apply to the dance, as well as his immaculate sense for freshness, Optiv is a tried and tested artist who continues to make a significant impact on the drum & bass sphere.

//---=== Korrode ===---//
/*  Korrode (Alex) is from the San Francisco Bay Area. and is currently residing in Orange County. He was the lead singer for the Newark based punk/ska band The InBetweens during his high school years(class of '04). It was during that time that he discovered The Prodigy's 1995 album "Music for the Jilted Generation".
However months before, a DJ exposed him him to artists in other genres of electronic music such as those of jungle/drum n' bass, techno, trance, and IDM. The latter of which being especially mind-blowing. These were all beats and noises he had never heard before, and drove him to explore, and at one point be driven to madness by, the potentiality of sound. 

He was also greatly inspired by the sound and message of punk rock. That in politics it always seemed to be that Government (which he later found out was money) came before Country, instead of the other way around. 

Fortunately for Alex in 2001, a friend hands him a bootleg copy of FL Studio 5, which got installed that night. Not being of a formal musical background, He didn't think to much of the sounds he could make on his computer. That is until 2005 drummer friend, who was attending Berklee school of music, nonchalantly mentioned the idea. After that he grabbed his first 61 key EMU-61 MIDI controller. "To sound like Prodigy" was the first mantra. 

 In 2006 he moved to Burbank to study at Musician's Institute (Recording Artist Program) in Hollywood. He then moved and attended California Institute of the Arts in Valencia,CA. between 2009-2010 (Music Technology, but could only afford one year).

He is currently in the Santa Ana area where he is pursuing a degree in computer science at Santiago Canyon College. He works at Starbucks. */
