Netsky – Iron Heart
Hailing from a small town in Belgium, Netsky (real name: Boris Daenen) is one of the most promising upcoming producers of the moment.

He is trying to balance the deepness and musicality of his sound with heavy beats and bass to keep the dancefloor alive. With a number of 12”s on Hype’s Liqweed Ganja and Twisted Individual’s Allsorts in the pipeline, he’s on the way to being a big name.

Ini Kamoze – World-A-Music
Ini Kamoze (born 9 October 1957 in Port Maria, St. Mary, Jamaica) is one of the few raggamuffin performers to have been successful both in roots reggae and the modern style.
By 1988, however, Kamoze had effectively disappeared from the music scene following lukewarm reactions to his intermittent releases.
In 1994, Kamoze burst back onto the scene with a harder sound and the song which would become his signature – “Here Comes The Hotstepper”. Adopting his nickname from the song title, Kamoze would become known as the “Hotstepper”, from the Patois for a man on the run from the law.

The band is known for its ethereal sound, and frontman Jónsi Birgisson’s falsetto vocals and use of bowed guitar.

Vonlenska is a non-literal language, without fixed syntax, and differs from constructed languages that can be used for communication. It focuses entirely on the sounds of language; lacking grammar, meaning, and even distinct words.
