Barbarick Pete
The DJ
Manager for Indulgence With A Twist & Twisted Indulgent Records - Barbarick Pete was introduced to the underground music scene in 1996.His elder cousin used to play Drum & Bass tape packs all the time as well as attending big events such as Helter Skelter. Barbarick would always borrow tapes off of his cousin until realising where he was able to get them from. After listening to the finest Dj's In 1997 my friend got a set of decks. Both of them together practiced night and day after school and weekends.
He got the bug to buy more and more vinyl. He put together my first demo cd's and handed them out at the free party scene.....Finally he got his first live set on a Rig - His set went down a storm and since then he hasn't looked back. He has played at many events around the UK, Live on radio and at clubs
The Music
Barbarick produces various genres of music and is proud to say that he is signed to Twisted Indulgent Records, EML, SubGeneration,WiredTogether, Project Storm & UnHinged Audi record labels.
Barbarick Pete - Inspiration
DJ’s in all genres of music including Mark EG, M-Zone, DJ Sy, Hixxy,Brisk, Force & Styles, Scott Brown and many more. He then started to develop a strong passion for electronic music as well as the urge to play it.
DJ Austin
The DJ
Austin has been around the Free party scene since the late 90’s, getting involved with some of the local groups in his area his love for the hard stuff grew into a passion and he was soon off to go buy his first set of turntables and start getting to work.
Keeping it old school, he has yet to switch to digital and only plays vinyl records and has a large collection at his disposal, constantly updating his horde of trance for the masses.
The Music
Having played across Europe the collection of music styles has always been expanding, keeping to his roots the 90/2000’s is where you will find most of his treasured records, spanning from Hard Trance to the more aggressive Darker trance genres. On occasion diving into the dusty shelves of his record collection you will also find him playing Hardcore form the 94/95 era which is his sweet spot for this genre.
The Inspiration
Bass , Bass and More Bass, if its got a good beat he will play it, Austin likes all sorts really and has never put himself into a corner on one style over the others, Seduction, Uberdruk, Arne III , are some of the guys who Austin seems to collect a lot of records from over the years, and recently discovering more and more artists that went under his radar, or forgot due to many a messy evening so for sure in a while that list will need changing.
PARo-SITE
The DJ
Paro-site has been mixing since 13, learning his craft on belt-driven homemix turntables from Argos. Originally mixing House then Garage and as the months went on his love for Drum and Bass came through on the decks. After a few years practicing and obviously getting to the age to play out, started playing local pubs and holding a few of his own nights and then playing a few free party's and other local events.
The Music
You can catch Paro-site spinning everything from Tech, Garage, Grime, House, Speed Bass, Jungle, Drum & Bass and Even some Swing & Bass! If it's Vibey he'll play it.
The Inspiration
When he first started paying attention to music the Rave scene was massive as it was the early 90's and the tune that caught my eye was "sesame's treat" which sampled sesame Street, a popular American kids TV programme. From there on in I listened to Prodigy, Ratpack, Brockie, Dj Zinc, Rossi B & Luca, Dj EZ, Andy C and then DMC competition Entrants Like Dj Craze, Dj Blakey, JFB and Jon1st.
Solaris
The DJ
Resident DJ on Bloc2Bloc Entertainment Radio, Solaris rolls out weekly live streams every Tuesday 7-8pm. Heavily inspired by Critical Music since day one, her mixes tend to be on the darker side of drum & bass, without being afraid of mixing it up with some feel good ragga jungle.
The Music
You’ll find her playing anything 174 BPM, from dark and moody drum and bass to feel good ragga jungle, with the occasional breakbeat and oldschool piano set.
Solaris - Inspiration
Many drum&bass and jungle labels have been a major inspiration, especially artists such as Mefjus and Marcus Visionary, but a lot of her music is also influenced by reggae music and the oldschool free party scene.
If you’re interested in booking her contact solarisdnb@gmail.com
DE-TRIM-ENTAL
The DJ
Dj Detrimental, is a multi genre Dj who dabbles in most genres of music just enjoys the music for what it is in most genres.
The Music
The true music that first inspired him was probably either acid house, jungle, hardcore, techno, trance & breaks. Growing up in the 90’s to keep it short and sweet his parents loved a good old rave. By 14 it started with drum and bass, but soon progressed into something where he’d be mixing just anything he could get his hands on.
The Inspiration
Detrimental now mixes: drum and bass, garage, oldskool and new trance, reggae, hip hop and of course jungle.
HEXAGON
The DJ
Co - Manager and CTO for Indulgence with a twist & Twisted Indulgent Records - 42 years old, Full Stack Web developer by trade. Kind of a nerd, as most people would call him. (Not sure if I agree with that though..)
Been messing with music for as long as I can remember. At the age of 14 I started at a local radio station as sound engineer.
The Music
At the age of 22 Hexagon got in contact with a group of DJs that organised illegal raves. For about 4 years they went all over the Netherlands, going to parties by other groups or setting up their own soundsystem. Drum n Bass has been Hexagon's first love, but other styles have been added to his repertoire. Next to DnB he loves to spin Hard Techno and Minimal/DeepTech.
Recently picked up spinning again, doing some live sets on Facebook whenever he feels like it, loving it all the way.
Hexagon78 - The Inspiration
'I can only give you one sentence... Ed Rush & Nico - the track - Technology (Boymerang Remix)' - this is the track that got Hexagon really interested in DnB
