SPIKEY TEE . Congo Natty Outernational . Dj4Norml . Sydney AUS *1st SF Appearance*
-Spikey Tee started DJ-ing in 1985, playing sound systems at house parties and warehouse gigs in and around London. This was followed by a natural progression from turntables to the studio with avant-garde band "The Sindecut", whose 14-year-old genre-defying album, "Changing The Scenery" (Virgin Records), still sounds as fresh today as it did on release in 1990. Comparisons have been made to the Fugees second album "The Score", which, although comparable, was recorded six years later.

His DJ-ing, MC-ing and singing skills have taken him around the world to Australia, Sweden, Russia, and Finland to name a few. Spikey recently performed in Australia and New Zealand on the 'Vibes on a Summer's Day' tour, DJ-ing alongside Mr. Scruff, Masters At Work, Jazzanova, Will White, Jo Mills, Ian Pooley and Xpress 2. He is now back on vocal duties, recording for Mark Rae, Potential Bad Boy, Dual Control, Marcus Intalex (for his Soul:R Imprint), Craig Dodd (recent Island Records signing), while an appearance on DJ Hype's Ganja label on a track “Hands Up” marked his first vocal drum 'n' bass outing.

All the while Spikey continued to DJ, mixing hip-hop, R&B, ragga, and drum 'n' bass. Not content to rest on his laurels, Spikey also made hit tunes for numerous producers, most notably with top-20 UK hit "Dark Heart", recorded for Bomb The Bass, and "Paper Soldier" for Mannasseh.

After a chance meeting with Dom (Blood and Fire Records/Sound System) and Mr.Scruff at a Jah Wobble concert in Manchester, Spikey Tee teamed up with the Manchester hip-hop label Grand Central for a number of collaborations. A track with Mr. Scruff, "Is It Worth It", was received extremely well, as was "Erase The Pain" for Tony D's 'Pound for Pound' album.

Spikey is now in Australia forging links with Hydrofunk/World Records with a view to helping the label achieve their goal of reaching the overseas market and collaborating with artists across many genres. He is also head of A&R for Rebel MC’s respected Drum and Bass label Congo Natty Records who will be launching their International imprint, Congo Natty Outernational to which Spikey has signed tracks from Melbourne producers The Operatives, Sydney outfit Rollers Music and New Zealand’s talented Agent Alvin, Brasil's DJ Patife & Drumagick with more signings pending.


TESTER . Trilogy Sound . Dj4Norml . Atlanta GA *1st SF Appearance*
-Tester aka the Soundbwoy Assassinator of Trilogy Sound Crew and Murdah One Sound has been on the front lines since the foundation days, and his thousand pound dub crate reflects just that. His distinctive brand of ragga-jungle murderation has been a favorite amongst DJs, producers and listeners alike. Boasting releases on labels such as Tuff Gang International, Top Ranking and Jungle Royale, as well as extensive touring across North America, this bass heavy soundbwoy-from-birth is poised to rock the masses into the dark ages.
