Astral T |
| Genre: |
Songwriter / Vocalist |
| Country: |
UK |
Hailing from the cultural backwater of deepest Northamptonshire, Astral T’s childhood was no less than colourful. Starting innocently enough with a singing role in the Village Church Choir, this Sunday-service chore laid the foundation for her later passion in singing and song-writing.
However her path wasn’t all straightforward. Having a gay dad in the 70s was a tough call as was the seemingly endless carnival of campness that passed through their house. With hindsight she realises now what a lucky individual she was to have experienced such a colourful childhood. He taught her many things in life – women with deep voices were called ‘it’, that his male partner Steve cooking fairy cakes was a totally acceptable concept (it was the 70s) and that leather and studs go hand-in-hand and should be worn daily. However, his main influence was in teaching her to enjoy music (not to mention, robotic dancing). Early 80s electronica was the beginning but away from this hedonistic role model aka ‘dad’, Astral T developed her own fascinations with electronica…
Mesmerised by the brightly-coloured tees, smiley-faced bandanas and oversized dungarees worn by friends’ older brothers and sisters, it wasn’t too long before the rave/acid scene drew her in. Her new-found hedonism challenged the system and made her feel part of a secret society and though the outdoor raves disbanded through tighter regulations and mismanagement, this fragmentation lead her on to an expedition to the burgeoning club scene.
Interestingly, Astral T found solace in the small and more intimate room of the clubs – a more inviting nightscape for a nocturnal journey with their deeper and more soulful shades of sound. Whether it was the deep and transcendent productions synonymous with Larry Heard and original Prescription brothers Ron Trent and Chez Damier, the jacking Chicago flavours of Marshall Jefferson and Derrick Carter the pioneering Detroit Techno coming from innovators Derrick May and Inner City or the soulful New York Garage sound of Kerri Chandler, this rich melange of house, techno and garage was a direct influence and source of inspiration for her song-writing and singing.
Now Midlands-based, in just 3 years she has collaborated with a range of esteemed producers both local and international. In 2007 her collaboration with the dynamic deep house duo Rhythm Plate saw the release of ‘Inside Me’ – A deep US garage-style number in which Astral T’s infectious vocal compliments the lush key and warm bassline perfectly – on the ‘Robbin’ Hudd’ EP on Hudd Traxx Records. Garnering acclaim and charted by many DJs in House circles, the track was an instant success and was snapped up for several commercially released mix compilations by many a House veteran including Johnny Fiasco’s ‘Nectar Vol. 2’ and Harley & Muscle’s ‘Play Deep House 5th Chapter’.
Since ‘Inside Me’ she has gone on to collaborate with a range or producers – including Hudd Traxx’s Eddie Leader (with the track ‘Innersphere’ on the ‘That Was Easy’ EP on Hudd Traxx), Nottingham’s Kinky Movement (‘Don’t You Wish’ on Replay Recordings) and Argentina’s Julian Sanza. There have been a plethora of remixes too, courtesy of Julian Sanza, Inland Knights, Pete Dafeet and Hoodfellas. On all her collaborations it’s the intoxicating mix of simple hooks combining with philosophical insights that fit effortlessly into the deeper shades of house…

Ben Micklewright or BLM has been involved in the Dance music scene since his father first bought him his first set of turntables. At the age of 15, while hooked on UK Garage, he went to work for one of the UKs best independent record shops (Massive Records), which would prove to be a great introduction into the world of house music.
After four years at Massive Records Ben made the move to Nottingham to study sound engineering, it was during this time that he started to define his unique sound drawing influences from his UK Garage roots, leading to digital releases on Leftnet and Year of the Machine. As well as producing, his time in Nottingham also allowed him to DJ at the legendary Bomb and Stealth.
Five years on and with a move to London, Ben has been busy setting up and co running up and coming label Fear of Flying with long-term friend Jay Massive. The labels success has been rising with keen support from the likes of Steve Bug, Loco Dice, Craig Richards and Terry Francis. Future releases from Schatrax, Leif, Pawas and BLM will ensure the label’s success will only grow. He has also released music for one of the UK's leading dance music imprints Azuli.

Lee Pennington |
| Genre: |
House |
| Country: |
UK |
Middlesbrough in the North East of England may not sound like the epicentre of the dance music universe, however in October 2003, with the inception of underground house club night *riffraff, Lee Pennington (Section 75) put his two feet firmly on the first rung of the DJing ladder.
Launched initially as a one-off promotional event to help promote his debut release on Source of Gravity Recordings, it quickly developed into an event that would cater for those people who appreciate forward thinking and thoughtful house music.
Since the mid 2000’s Lee has been a highly respected producer of underground house music under his own name alongside his Section 75 and riffraff aliases. He has tracks available on several independent labels that are supported by the likes of Hernan Catteneo, Nick Warren, Steve Lawler, John Digweed, Scott Bradford, Paul Van Dyk and many more A-list Djs.
As well as his resident DJ duties at *riffraff, Lee can often be found DJing across Europe playing his own brand of progressive / tech house to the masses. He has also toured America with the Source of Gravity label. By being part of *riffraff he has played with majority of the UKs top respected underground artists.
*riffraff has visited the world famous Back2Basics club, Shindig, Sankeys, Area 51 and the one and only Ministry Of Sound. *riffraff is also present over the summer months in Ibiza at the hugely popular Zoo project where Lee plays week in week out to thousands of people.
He has been a busy man with radio broadcast appearances on Energy FM, Red & Blues Shake show, Digiprana Sounds, Downshift Radio, LRCN's shows The Bidness & Four4 (formerly 4x4 101) on DI.FM & AfterhoursDJs.org respectively, and now his own show hosted on Proton alongside Source Of gravity boy Tim Mills.
With DJ gigs coming thick and fast across the UK and Europe, running *riffraff, remix and production duties, Lee is a busy man and shows no sign of stopping!

Danny Stott |
| Genre: |
House |
| Country: |
UK |
Danny Stott describes his sound as “warm house with plenty of energy…I think there’s usually a slight classic house influence to my tracks”.
As for his route into dance music, Danny doesn’t have the usual tale of hanging round local nights waiting for his big moment: “Burnley doesn’t have a thriving house scene so my DJ background isn’t brilliant, I’ve run a few nights on and off around Burnley in the past, but they were small nights, which was all good fun but doesn’t look good on paper!!”
Equally, his future plans don’t include worldwide stardom, but merely “to get myself a laptop…my wife usually complains that I don’t spend enough time with her so doing some of my work in the living room would make my life easier in many ways! Basically just to keep enjoying making house music and any DJing work that comes in as a result would be a massive bonus."
Danny Stott has released his unique blend of deep/tech house music for Lost My Dog Records, 3am, New Era, Ambiosphere, Grouper Recordings and Dutchie.

Nick Dare’s music productions have been winning support from both the underground and overground over the last few years, plus with over 15 years DJ experience Nicks sets encompass a sublime mix of underground house and tech grooves not to be missed.
Like many DJ’s Nick started out collecting Electro, Hip Hop and Rare Groove records before succumbing to the charms of Acid House and beyond. Nick first hit the decks in the early 90’s playing underground parties and club nights before becoming a regular at one of London’s post Acid House clubs, Juicy Fruit at Ormonds. Cutting his DJing teeth along side the likes of Rocky & Diesel (X-Press 2), Terry Farley & Nancy Noise, Nick soon went on to appear as a regular guest and resident at some of UK’s best clubs including Club UK, The Leisure Lounge, The End, Sex Love & Motion @ The Soundshaft, Heaven and Escape (Brighton). In 2001 Nick launched his own club night Therapy London which featured regularly at Freedom @ Bagley’s Warehouse (later renamed Canvas), Kings Cross. This led to Nick being invited to DJ at Prologue in 2002, a monthly Saturday night held at The Cross renowned for pushing musical boundaries where Nick secured a DJ residency that ran for three years or so at both The Cross and more recently the EGG.
In 2001 Nick launched Reform Recordings, a label renowned for pushing quality underground house, achieving worldwide sales in vinyl and digital format and regularly featuring in the review pages of DJ, IDJ, DMC, Update, M8, TTR, Resident Advisor and 365 Mag. Reform has also received Club and Radio support from DJ’s and producers such as X-Press 2, Tom Stephan, John Digweed, Rui Da Silva, Paul Woolford, Terry Francis, Kenny Hawkes, Stuart Patterson and Meat Katie. The label has mainly featured Nick’s own productions recording under the names of Nick Dare, Overdrive and Liquid Dreams.
