HYPE
DJ Hype is rated no. 1 for the globally renowned 1 extra radio show on BBC Radio. Essentially, Hype is to drum and bass as Afrika Bambaata was to the development of hip-hop. Hype's early love for hip hop and reggae was just the start of a long and prosperous musical journey, his early deckwork wizardry dazzled audiences and culmulated in him winning the UK DMC Championships in 1989!
In years to come, DJ Hype and like-minded cohorts DJ Zinc and Pascal ushered in a new label to the jungle world from the ashes of the now- defunct Ganja imprint. The now-infamous True Playaz crew/label began its life with Hype's dancefloor 12-inch smasher "Peace, Love and Unity", which went on to sell in excess of 15,000 copies. After his last trip down under with MC Rage 5 years ago, this year he's spreading his wings to further preach the word of Drum N Bas to the masses....Do believe the Hype

STATE OF MIND
State Of Mind, a duo consisting of Patrick Hawkins and Stu Maxwell formed in 2002. In late 2004, Q Project and Spinback, better known as Total Science, were introduced to the State Of Mind sound. Blown away by the strength of the music they heard, the Oxford legends instantly sought to work with the talented duo, signing them for a series of 12’s.
Notoriously prolific producers, the State of Mind lads have gone on to release through a broad spectrum of labels since that chance encounter in 2004. Material can be found on the shelves via Total Science's CIA Recordings, Teebee's Subtitles Records, Friction's Shogun Audio, Futurebound’s Viper label, Doc Scott’s 31 Records, Concord Dawn’s Uprising imprint, Bad Company, Obsessions, and more. Yet even this impressive list has not satisfied State of Mind’s creative appetite. Their own label SOM Music is soon to be launched, featuring the talents of Chris Su, Black Sun Empire, Switzerland’s Axiom and others.
Moreover the debut full length album Take Control is now available with in NZ and Australia through Uprising Records.
Their success both abroad and in NZ has been recognized recently, where the State of Mind lads were awarded the title of B-Net Breakthrough Artists 2006. After the 2 massive shows earlier this year SOM lads are back for some cup eve rinseout!
