Noone combines oldschool musical taste and technique with newschool production like A.Skillz. Making his first SF appearance in more than TWO YEARS, Adam Mills music has not been absent, with A.Skillz cuts and remixes in heavy rotation in the sets of every major American midtempo Dj, including huge play of both his Strawberry Fields and Come Together Beatles remixes by Bassnectar. A staple of Fingerlickin and Bombstrikes, his blend of hip hop, big beat, and breakbeat basslines have made him THE STANDARD by which all other bangermakers are judged.

There are few electronic producers who have had more success in the past few years than the UK duo known as Slyde. In the past few years, Slyde's releases have moved them ahead of the pack and into rare territory. Recent releases like Kiss Kiss Bang Bang Move Ya Body Russian Girls are Dangerous have kept them near or at the top of many a breakbeat and electro chart.
