Based in London, D-Bridge has literally helped to give birth to to the scene with a couple of seminal jungle classics. At the legendary Metalheadz sessions he learned to appreciate the best of both worlds: energy through bass.

In 2006, Utah Jazz received widespread international acclaim with his remix of Roni Sizes classic, “It’s a jazz thing”. Thanks to support from dance music heavyweights Zane Lowe, Annie Mac, Pendulum, Andy C and Grooverider, chart success soon followed, with the remix reaching number 1 in the Radio 1 charts.

Greg Packer

From Gregs Myspace: Greg began Dj-ing in 1989 at the age of 17 shortly after emigrating to Perth Western Australia from Northampton England, he had been a heavy collector of vinyl since 1982 and since he already had a collection of 1000+ he decided it was time to purchase some decks and get seriously into dj-ing. The music Greg was collecting in the 80's was mainly hip hop, electro, soul & funk and a bit of reggae/dub, when he began mixing it was strictly hip hop until late 1990 when Greg was taken to a club in Perth called Limbo's and heard a Dj 'Dave Jackson' spin some early house...
