Timo Garcia - The final waves of Timo's set lapping against the
effortlessly cool crowd at Leeds' Mission mark another chapter in his
ascension from unknown anybody to underground somebody. He's just
finished recording DJ Mag's December cover mount CD, mixing funk
infested b-lines, progressive, filtered synth lines and wigged-out,
stripped back percussion with a nonchalant disregard for any
restrictive pigeonholes.It is this restlessness, married with a
fulfilled appearance diary which is on a par with that of the rudest
globe-trotting narco' (encompassing Brazil, Denmark, Russia, Latvia
and, obviously, Ibiza, as it does) that inherently sketch the
blueprint for his sets and the make up of his musical DNA. House music
to get sun burnt to; gritty little numbers that resonate in the
deepest, darkest minimal discos, and metronomic beats manufactured
unashamedly for the dancefloor are all musical tools used by Timo to
construct bespoke sets tailored to the buggin' crowds of wherever he
be at.When at work in the studio the scope of his electronic output is
no more limited: Decidedly minimalistic and deliciously simple bass is
punctuated with weirded-out samples when working on 'Zombies Revenge.'
Glitches and guitars pepper the tech-house of his collaboration with
Ricky Stone .. the Universe' and the analogue pressings and bouncy
beats of recent release 'Uncle Fly,' all highlight the point that
Timo's output is a dynamic one. Every set is a transient snapshot of
the best electronica has to offer; some carefully picked works by
other artists, and some from his, and Berwick Street's own, audio
arsenals.What better endorsement is there than having records signed
by voguish labels like Toolroom, Cr2, OM Records and Ninja Tune? Well,
how about big-ups from the likes of Steve Lawler, Claude von Stroke,
Tom Middleton, Louis Vega and Layo and Bushwacka? Or having one effort
tagged by Radio 1's dance Dons as an Essential Tune? You get the
picture. Timo is one of the boys: welcomed with open arms by our
culture's elite and now a regular at haunts like London's mighty
Ministry of Sound.

Raymundo Rodriguez - Raymond Isaacs aka Raymundo Rodriguez has been
making serious waves since he burst onto London's underground house
music scene at the end of the 90s. He 1st started drawing attention
after gaining residency at one of south London's only pure House music
venues, The Buddha lounge. It was here that he began to hone his
craft, often playing extended sets 2 or 3 times a week. It wasn't long
before he started receiving invitations to spin at the more major
clubs in London, the Ministry of Sound, Hanover Grande and The Cross.
In no time at all he was snapped up by Italian party promoters
Vertigo, where he held a 2 year residency, other residents included
Dave Picioni, Claudio Basile and Dj Cosmo. Whilst at Vertigo he held
his own alongside many industry giants including Ted Patterson,
Satoshi Tomie, Rocky, DJ Ralf, Ricky Montinari, Alex Neri and Smokin
Jo. Danny Rampling would often be seen hanging out there and quickly
became a fan, even going as far as to name Ray as one of the future
heroes of house, which was printed in the 2002 DJ Mag top 100 poll,
and Ray is mentioned again in 2003 top 100 by world famous DJ producer
Tim Deluxe who claimed Ray was one of the best undiscovered dj's in
the scene.At Present Ray is one of the most prolific Dj's working
today, with a relentless djing schedule that has earnt him the
reputation as 'The DJ who never sleeps'.Ray is among the few dj's in
the world that can boast a healthy domestic and international dj
career without having released a a single track, something that is
near enough impossible to achieve in this dj/producer dominated
business. His devotion to everything house means he has a passion for
it in all it's forms, from deep lush grooves, right through to jackin
beats and techno.
