Vanadis is the duo of Kristin Nielsen (DJ Woosh) and Tim Webb (Webb), both members of the Dunedin's Subz'n'Breakz' Kru (SBK). Having formed just under 2 years ago, Vanadis are quickly establishing themselves in the New Zealand drum n bass scene with their signature deep & musical sound.
Tune in to hear Vanadis every Wednesday between 9pm - 11pm on Radio One. For more information check www.sbk.co.nz or www.myspace.com/vanadisnz.
After being introduced to Drum n Bass in 99, Drop let go of his rock and grunge musical roots and quickly grabbed hold of the new sounds coming out of the UK. Moving to Dunedin in 2002, in late 2003 he began a monthly slot at Arc cafe, promoting under the name Cashmere Drumz. Much the same time he began a two and a half year fortnightly residency at Toast cocktail bar.
Now he is resident at the pure liquid drum n bass night Fluid at Bath St, as well as his own Here Come The Drumz nights.
Rhyas, known in a former life as DJ Caustic, has just re-joined us back in the deep south.
Having been a DJ and record collector since 1999, Rhyas is known for his incredible versatility behind the decks, and has supported range of massive international artists, including DJ Bailey, Matrix, Fierce, Mickey Finn and Cause 4 Concern.
Be sure to keep an eye out for this man and his inimitable style - from chilled out liquid to techy hardstep, you will always know when it is Rhyas playing.
Steve has been part of the drum n bass scene in Ireland since the early '90s co-running 'the Chamber' radio show for 7 years dedicated to old skool, jungle and dnb on RADIO FRIENDLY.
After moving to Ireland from NZ in 2003 and hooking up with Steve and DJ Torque (big respect), Mason spun on RADIO FRIENDLY and at 'The LOOKOUT' gigs.
Since returning to New Zealand, MERCURY RISE have concentrated on production thorughout 2006 and armed with an arsenal of new material, are preparing to increase their dj profile in 2007.
After rattling around and playing constant gigs since 2002, Dunedin drum n bass stalwart Lophonix teamed up with DJs Stonya, Kraft, Premise and Mune to form Future Sound of Dunedin (FSOD) early on in 2006.
Since this recent inception, the FSOD boys have supported all major acts within New Zealand, including Shapeshifter, Concord Dawn, State of Mind, The Upbeats, Trei, Urban Notion and Vanadis.
Playing a solid stream of dancefloor smashers and party tunes, FSOD know how to get things moving.
Phil O is a force to be reckoned with behind the decks.
At the age of 16 he joined huge black / death metal band Dawn of Azazel in 1999 as their drummer - the accuracy essential for this calibre of drumming definitely shows in his DJing.
He originally got hooked on Drum and Bass in 2002 at pre-eminent Auckland club Fu Bar.
Since then Phil O has DJ'd at Bath St, The Vatican, 12 Below, Toast, Backstage, Safari Lounge and Foci.
Watch out for this man - his tight skills and full spectrum style means that he is definitely one to keep an eye on.
Billy T is a badman behind the decks, mixing up styles and flows yet always keeping it locked down.
Billy has been reppin the Wednesday night sessions at Bath St for a while now let alone getting regular slots on Friday / Saturday nights. He has also played at outdoor events such as Intonations, and the infamous Winter Soulstice amongst others.
Shragon was slowly introduced to drum n bass when he made the move to Dunedin in 2005, but it wasn’t until he bought his first record in mid ‘06 that it pretty much took him over completely.
Since then he has risen quickly, having had the opportunities to support State of Mind, Urban Notion, Organikismness, and Black Planet, as well as playing several local nights around Dunners.
After being chucked in the deep end at a house party 20 months ago by JMC and Cypher MC, 0dc has been mashing tunes together ever since.
With a metal / hardcore / hiphop base he's only just show-cased his talents locally at Bath St in the latest months, and most memorable night of Busty Beats alongside Dunedins own Urban Terror Unit and Vanadis.
After being introduced to the sound of Drum & bass over 3 years ago, things have moved pretty quickly for DVS (aka Andrew Tuaine).
After at first being content with just listening to the brightest and best DJ's/ producers round DVS decided to step up to the plate and invest in his own turntables and get behind the decks. After only a year this man has become one to reckon with laying down some of the freshest and tightest sets round.
Not content with just simply becoming a turntablist, DVS has now set his sights on producing his own beats.
