ABOUT: DOC SCOTT A true veteran and leading tastemaker in D&B, Doc Scott has been an essential and pivotal figure in the scene since before its inception and continues to push things forward. Founding member of ‘A Bunch Of Cuts’, his DJ sets in the mid-90s became legendary, notably at the Metalheadz Blue Note sessions and ‘Speed’. Although primarily a DJ, his productions are definitive classics within the scene, such as ‘Here Comes The Drumz’ on Reinforced, the first ever Metalheadz release ‘VIP Drumz’, to the more mellow sounds of ‘Tokyo Dawn’ on Good Looking Records. His own label 31 Records, sparked by Scott’s ground-breaking ‘Shadow Boxing’, has also been a hub for new talent, pushing some of the biggest artists today in their early days. Having recently re-launched the label, Om Unit’s remix of ‘Shadow Boxing’ is the first release of 2014, with many others to follow. The New Year also marks a fresh start for Doc Scott, as he makes his long awaited return to the studio. ABOUT: LOWQUI LowQui breaks down the barrier between performer and attendee like no other. He is the quintessential DIY junglist. In the game for life, LowQui will be toasting microphones until the end of his days. A versatile live MC, LowQui has worked with a diverse range of crews and record labels including Metalheadz, Exit Records, Movement & Liquid V, Drum and Bass Arena, Non-Vogue, Bassbin Records, Widescreen Recordings, Integral, Digital Soundboy and Cyberfunk Records. Throughout 2010 and 2011, LowQui worked closely with New Zealanders ‘The Upbeats’ on their live shows and DJ performances. LowQui also hosted for the likes of Goldie, Andy C, Klute, Break, Fierce, Skream, Benga, Nu:Tone and many more as they passed through Australia and New Zealand. ...................................................................................................................
