Noisia comprise Dutch producers Thijs, Nik and Martijn. Largely regarded as one of the most distinctive, powerful acts to emerge in bass music, their production techniques are referenced and praised across the entire electronic music scene. Their extensive body of work also includes the game Devil May Cry and the Foreign Beggars collaboration I Am Legion.

Well my friends came up with Buzzy Dan when I was like 19 and has been with me the whole time since. I grew up around raves and parties most of my life from a wee fella till now. I have worked in the music industry for a very long time. I am a qualified audio engineer and have worked in all aspects of the audio environment since 2006. Ive been a live sound tech for many years and worked with the worlds best DJ's, MC's and bands. I have done sound teching for alot of random things as well. I have been producing my own music since 2008 but rarely get the time in now so I focus alot more on DJ and Tech roles. I was a studio supervisor for MAINZ for 4 years and a tutor as well. I have a PA system that stored away in New Zealand for when I return which I like to jam out on but it is very loud and needs the time and place. I enjoy all kinds of music but I mainly enjoy the high energy dance music like DnB and Electro. I also like to mix up other music as well if the crowd engages it. I like to make people anticipate what I will play next and like to just freestyle away and try out different things. I now live in Perth and am currently starting from the bottom again in a new environment. Either here and there I will always be Buzzy Dan so you'll just have to keep and ear out for me as I like to get around the place doing what I do best. I love music and everything about it it is my release from everyday life that gets so boring. I'll go to anything I get asked to play at unless already booked elsewhere. Critters is my electro alias as I like to make people critter. But Buzzy D / Dan is the name if ya dan know. Love Buzz.

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.
