Split Second

When two of the tallest figures in dnb: Prolix and Crystal Clear put their heads together, the result was always going to be interesting. With Prolix known for his dark techy sound and Crystal Clear leaning towards the straight up dancefloor end of the market, it came as a bit of a surprise when the first fruits of their labour turned out to be liquid!

"Feel You" & "Tequila Sunset" by Split Second are out now on Liqweed Ganja.

Techy dnb maestro Prolix has enjoyed widespread success in his chosen arena with tunes such as "Twisted Angel" and "Sonorous".

Crystal Clear & Xample

After signing one of Xample's early tunes to Hardleaders, it wasn't long before Crystal and Xample decided to combine their talents and see what could be created. The results didn't disappoint! From the tearout "Brother" and the bass-heavy "Spanish Harlem" on Frontline, to the anthemic "Sister" released on Ram's sister label Frequency, this was obviously a pairing that worked.

The pair's biggest hit to date however came in the form of the critically acclaimed "Heaven & Hell", part of the Dimensions EP on Ram. Featuring huge beats and bass, not to mention a sample by Crystal Clear himself, this was kaned by the likes of Andy C, DJ Hype and Dillinja to name but a few.

Crystal & Xample plan to get back in the studio to work on some more smashers...you've been warned!

Crystal Clear & Cabbie

If you haven't heard jump up barnstormers "Cold Blooded" and "Streethawk" by Crystal Clear & Cabbie over the last 6 months then where have you been?!

Crystal and Cabbie first met years ago through mutual friend Ashatack. It wasn't, however, until early 2008 that the two decided to share their studio knowledge and get some collabo's running. And so it was that "Cold Blooded" and "Streethawk" took shape, instantly getting support from the likes of Hype, Grooverider and Hazard.

Keep em peeled on the News section for info on new killer dubs from these two.

Cabbie has had previous success with "Mr Jah" alongside DJ Probe released on Chronic.

Crystal Clear & Netsky

As Stuart Hall once said on It's A Knock Out..."and here comes the Belgians!"

Following a chance meeting on aim Crystal Clear was immediately impressed by Netsky's attitude and production skills. Knowing talent when he sees it Crystal soon called the "Belgian Bomber" in on an idea he'd been working on. This turned into soulful liquid roller "King Of The Stars" released on Liqweed Ganja.

Having recently signed to Hospital Records, Netsky is set for big things in the future.

Crystal Clear & Zen

Crystal and Zen's paths have crossed a few times since they first met many moons ago. From an initial meeting in the studio of pirate station Shadow FM in the late 90's they then went on to be label mates at Formation.

Sharing a mutual admiration for each others tunes and with Crystal having remixed a couple of Zen's killer dubs for Grid, they finally made time to get in the studio towards the end of 2008. The first such result was the bass heavy "Man With No Name" featured on the Strength In Numbers EP!

Zen has had previous success with "Full Effect" on his own label Flip Audio as well as the monster "Hovercraft" on Grid.
