EBE Company is the Germany-based hardcore record label and live performance founded and run by DJ Sparky aka Stephan Ringmaier.

Stephan spins records since 1993 and became known to a broader audience since he played at the Love Parade in 1995, in clubs like Tunnel in Hamburg, Bunker and Tresor in Berlin and several appearances at the „Techno Club“ events in the legendary Dorian Gray airport club.

Around 1995 he realized that DJing is not everything and so, together with a musician friend, launched the producer duo and live performance act „Anal Cunt“. After a few releases on Strike Records and releases for the Terrordrome compilation series, they invested in the future and set up their first analogue studio.

In 1997 ANAL CUNT split up in good relations and the label EBE COMPANY Records as well as the live act EBE Company came into life. Since then, EBE COMPANY has been performing on large European events like Airbeat One, Shadowlands Rave , Hellraiser, Army Of Hardcore, Nature One, Mayday to name just a few.

EBE Company is known for its energetic creative sets and sophisticated darkcore productions. This led to cooperations with producers such as Catscan, Drokz, Stormtrooper or Lowroller who released several tracks and remixes on the EBE Company label.

Releases on other labels: Acardipane Records | Crossbones | EDEL Records | Hard Plastic Records | ID & T | Masters of Hardcore | Phuture Rave Records | Rotterdam Records | Sound Base Music | Strike Records | The Third Movement | V-Wax Inc. | WAR

DJ Intersect brings 30 or so years of musical expression to his bi-weekly radio show on Jungletrain. As a South London native, direct access to early 90's formative raves such as Innersense at Laserdrome and then on to World Dance at Lydd Airport and places like The Rocket,  The Roller Express and the quintessential club experiences of The Paradise Club and Orange enabled Intersect to navigate the curious sounds of emerging breakbeat culture first-hand as it developed. Finding his musical interests aligned with the darker, no-fluff vibes of Laserdrome, Intersect along with his brother, DJ Prestige, opened the record shop White Label Records on Camberwell Road in 1995 to promote the culture. 

Influences throughout the years include Fabio, Randall, LTJ Bukem, Doc Scott, DJ Ratty, Kemistry & Storm, Equinox, Grooverider, DJ Lee, DJ Trace, Ed Rush, Bizzy B and more. 

When Intersect isn't chopping it up on Jungletrain, you can find him supporting the London-based Diggin in the Crates collective.

I do music, inspired by my environment especially beautiful places and artworks.

THE ACID QUEEN
Saskia Slegers, better known as Miss Djax, or as many say 'The Acid Queen', is living proof that age doesn't necessarily always brings peace. For more then 35 years now, she has stomped on the face of techno and acid with hard punishing beats and radioactive sounds. The ferocious releases on her Djax-Up-Beats label helped Chicago and Detroit sounds gain foothold in Europe, as Djax Records was one of the first European labels to put out techno in the early nineties.

Miss Djax started her DJ career at the age of sixteen. Her musical roots can be traced back to disco, funk and new wave. At the age of eighteen she formed the band 'B-System', a new wave band in which she played the bass guitar. 
Having worked in record shops for many years, Saskia met a large number of promising artists whose music never got released because, according to the Dutch record-companies, it was "not commercial" enough. That triggered her to start her own label and in 1989 Djax Records was founded. 

Miss Djax had her international breakthrough when she played at the notorious MayDay rave in Berlin 1992. One year later Germany's leading dance magazine Frontpage declared her 'DJ of the year'. In the following years her name was always in the international top 10 rankings. 
In that same year (1992) Saskia went on a 2 week trip to Chicago and Detroit to meet her favourite producers in person and to see with her own eyes were it all had started. 

Four years in a row, from 1995 to 1998 she took part in one of the major techno happenings: The Love Parade in Berlin. In 1998 Djax even had the privilege to start at pole position! Many people will remember the 20-metres long red/silver Djax-Up-Beats rocket with 20.000 watt of acidtechno terror on board! Miss Djax also played two times, in 1996 and 1998, at the Love Parade end manifestation at the Victory Tower in front of millions of people. 

Besides the worldwide respected releases on Djax-Up-Beats, Djax Records is also known for being the first company to release Dutch spoken rap-music, later called Nederhop. In 1991 Saskia discovered The Osdorp Posse that soon became the most popular rap-band of the Netherlands! In 1995 they won the Dutch Popprijs for being the most innovative Dutch band! Also ABN and Spookrijders were two of Djax’s successful nederhop bands. 

Not only the music but also the looks of Djax Records have always been important to Saskia. Since 1991 she is working with Alan Oldham, the famous illustrator from Detroit. Till today Alan made hundreds of beautiful illustrations and five Miss Djax comics for Djax-Up-Beats. Saskia also worked with  Zender and the famous American illustrator Ed Repka, who is well known for his Megadeth album covers.
