THE UPBEATS:
Since announcing their arrival on the drum and bass scene in 2004 – creating more of a shockwave than a mere splash – with their self-titled debut album, Wellington, New Zealand producers The Upbeats have continued to forge an impressive reputation as both masters of their craft and the future of drum and bass. In 2007, The Upbeats take a new step in their journey to the top of global dance music with the release of their sophomore album on prominent label Bad Company Presents and embarking on a world tour with BC stars Vegas and Maldini. Producing music together for seven years, Glenn and Jones have crafted a sound that ranges between frenetic and energetic liquid funk, intensely moody and claustrophobic drum and bass, and soulful indulgences of elevation. Their electric live performance has seen The Upbeats play in clubs, festivals and events across the US, Australia and Europe, taking them through Portugal, Austria, Switzerland, the UK, France, Slovenia, Estonia, Hungary and the Netherlands. Along the way The Upbeats have played alongside the cream of international drum and bass. With 2007 set to be a breakthrough year for The Upbeats, capitalising on a legacy of hard work, touring and the right connections, the wickedness this way comes.

AGENT ALVIN:
2006 was a big year for the Agent, with tunes released on labels as diverse as the legendary Full Cycle, Klutes imprint Commercial Suicide, Gain, G2 and Resin Records. His tunes were receiving high rotation on the BBCs` Radio 1 by Grooverider, Annie Mac and Ras Kwame, and 1Xtra by Bailey, L Double and Sappo. As well as high radio play, DJ`s such as High Contrast, London Electricity, Roni Size, Pendulum, DJ Craze and countless others have been playing his music all over the world cementing him as a serious player in Drum and Bass. This year will see the much anticipated “Don`t Look Back” (featuring Fiasco) released on DJ Fresh and Adam F`s label Breakbeat Kaos, Incite, Cyanide, and a remix for Random Recordings. The Agent has also showed his versatility with the Autobots having picked up two tracks for their Breakbeat label Broke. If he is not tweaking beats in his studio, Agent Alvin can be found on the DJ circuit having played support for many touring internationals, as well as headlining his own gigs and playing some of the biggest festivals in his native land. His sets run the full spectrum of Drum and Bass reflecting the diverse range of music he produces. From liquid to tech to jump up and back again, he guarantees dancefloor impact alongside musicality.

TREI:
Trei stormed onto the Wellington Drum N Bass scene in 2004 at the annual mix competition ‘Rumble in the Jungle’ and in a whirlwind two years has become a hot favourite DJ and Producer on the New Zealand dance circuit. One of New Zealand’s Finest Club DJ’s with a reputation for infectious mixing and slamming dance-floor vibes, Trei has become a regular at some of the city’s best known DnB sessions - including New Zealand’s longest running club night Bass Frontiers - and has played with the biggest names on the international scene including Pendulum, Zinc, Friction, Concord Dawn, Digital and Mampi Swift.
