King Roc

King Roc (a.k.a Martin Dawson) exploded onto the electro
house scene in 2002, and has since built an impressive accolade of high
profile remixes and solo productions, continually delivering to leading
labels such as Kingsize, Azuli, Bugged Out and London Records.

In the past twelve months alone, highlights have included
collaborations with Marc Almond (Soft Cell), a remix of New Order’s
legendary ‘True Faith’, as well as embarking on a series of worldwide
King Roc DJ tours.

Martin’s musical roots have been firmly established over the past
ten years since his introduction to underground electronic music by
friends Nick Fryer (aka Nick Sentience) and Tom Neville. Martin and Tom
joined Nick to form dance act ‘Sentience’. Signed by Media UK Records
all three moved to London where they toured the infamous underground
warehouse party circuit and made several festival appearances across
the South of England.

Following the Sentience split, Martin produced his first solo
electro production, signed under the name ‘Tomahawk’. His new found
studio time spawned the pseudonym King Roc and the first King Roc track
‘Feed on Me’ was signed by Backyard Recordings, going on to garner
plaudits and Radio 1 airplay.

Since then, King Roc has focused heavily on writing new and original material plus remixing selected tracks.

Original productions such as ‘Pressure/How Big Is It’ and remixes
such as Dylan Rhymes’ ‘Salty’ received critical acclaim from leading
DJs and dance music publications alike whilst the King Roc remixes of
Atlantis’s ‘Atlantis’, Holderman’s ‘Left/Right/Switch’ and his
unofficial remix of ‘S Express’ have gone on to become underground
electro classics.

Cass & Mangan

After making an initial splash with their much feted remix of JL
Henney – Me & My Moog (FINE) in Spring 2005, Cass & Mangan got
to work. Their unique take on electronic music has resulted in their
remixes and original productions worming their way into the boxes &
charts of DJ’s including… Laurent Garnier, Erol Alkan, Sasha, Kiki,
Mike Monday, Jo Jo de Freq, Paul Woolford, Tiefschwarz, Rob Da Bank,
Annie Mac (Radio 1), Fergie (Radio 1), Lee Burridge, John Digweed, Tim
Sheridan, Geddes and simply too many others to mention…

Cass & Mangan are Cass Cutbush and Tom Mangan. The pair met
through the grapevine in 2003 and started cobbling together electronic
inventions to play around and about. IKnowUKnow (WALL OF SOUND) was
their first release in 2004 – a glorious piece of early morning vocal
wizardry described as ‘…beautiful…’ by Ali Tiefschwarz.

The sound that escapes from this pair is a fusing of two minds; a
grungy fizzing mixture of old and new technologies, embracing as much
the analogue sounds of yesteryear as the current flavour for digital
distortion.

Since their explosive start, the duo have gone from strength to
strength, remixing Tiefschwarz (FINE), Daisy Daisy (SUNDAY BEST) &
Royksopp (WALL OF SOUND). With the excellent Caper on PLAYTIME and
their well lubricated version of I Didn’t Mean To Turn You On for SAW
in the US, they’ve rapidly built a reputation as producers of the
highest quality. All this and they have still found time to DJ all over
the world.

They have already taken their tweaked production sound out to
various places of good standing, including: Issst @ The Key,
NastyDirtySexMusic @ Ministry of Sound, Fabric, Turnmills, Herbal,
Product @ Stealth, NightFlight @ On The Rocks, Club Klatka (Warsaw),
Sound Bar (Chicago), Yatzi (Oslo) and Weekend (Berlin). It’s busy times
ahead for the dynamic dysfunctional duo as they take up their
residencies at Tim Sheridan’s weekly VeryVeryVeryWrongIndeed
after-party at Turnmills, and bi-monthly at Product at Stealth
(Nottingham) as well as touring to support their production releases.
