Artst: DJ Bustin

Bustin first got involved in the rave scene in about 95. A regular attendee of numerous acid trance clubs around the capital, he was enamored by the scene but not by the music. Bustin's hardcore roots were formed in late 95. At the back of an English class Bustin used to sit with another boy who was really into his happy hardcore. The boy leant over one day headphones in hand "Jus bruv! Listen to this" Bustin took the headphones and was introduced to hardcore at that moment. The track playing was rushing on Pink champagne, such was the impact of this tune that Bustin hurried down to remix records in Camden and bought himself a ticket to Moondance at Bagleys.

A year later a real DJ'ing fad spread around Bustin's college, everyone was learning how to mix and Bustin joined in, selling his drum kit for a pair of KAM direct drive decks. He then went down to Remix records again and purchased some of his first tunes including 99red balloons, six days, hardcore fever and the trick of technology. Later that year Bustin played his first gig at a private party at Dingwalls in Camden. Bustin's set went down a storm despite not really being any good. The next few years were a heady mix of raving all over the country and playing at numerous private parties around the capital.

The next few years was full of highs and lows the biggest low was the perceived death of the music that Bustin loved, Hardcore as he knew it died with the turn of the millennium. This didn't stop Bustin from going back to the old skool and having moved up north making a name around Liverpool as the only old skool DJ in a town dominated by house. In this time Bustin played all over Liverpool as well as playing in different cities including Leeds, Brighton and Manchester. Bustin was short-listed for a red bull national DJ competition. Among the judging panel was drum and bass star DJ Futurebound. Bustin smashed it and won the admiration of all the judges. The problem was that Mr. Futurebound was caught having sex in the ladies toilets and was ejected from the competition before he had the opportunity to judge everyone so his previous scores were removed from everyone that he had seen. This meant that the competition finished a draw between Bustin and a hip hop DJ. The rep from Red bull pulled Bustin to the side and explained the situation to him that he had won prior to Futurbound's marks being stricken and that despite it being a draw the other DJ's style of music was more suitable to the crowd that red bull would be aiming for.

Bustin moved back to London in 2001 and earned himself a spot on south London based pirate radio station Hyper FM. While the station had some good DJs and good listener ship it wasn't long before the station ceased broadcasting and Bustin was determined to follow the likes of Phantom D, Jonah, Infinity and Delight by making the jump to London Pirate veterans Eruption FM. That opportunity came a few months later when through good references from Phantom D and Lukozade Bustin earned himself a slot on Saturday mornings. Bustin moved around several set times over the next year or so until he was moved to a Sunday and this would be a key moment in defining Bustin's style of music. It was these Sundays on Eruption Fm that he met and became friends with Lucky Breaks boss (and fellow Endor records artist) DJ Wizbit. At this time Wizbit was playing Hardcore that sounded like the heyday of Hardcore. Uplifting piano's, rolling bass lines, old skool stabs and most importantly break beats. Up to this point Bustin had been playing old skool for a while and occasionally dipping into his vast collection of Happy hardcore. However here was a new sound that was literally music to Bustin's ears and a sound that Bustin could see himself adopting.

Around the same time Bustin started listening to more and more of what DJ Luna-c was doing and felt inspired by this to step into production. Through Wizbit, Bustin had heard about DJ Ponder and having listened to his engineering work (especially on the Lucky breaks material) Bustin booked a session. The result was ok, the truth was Bustin's inexperience in the studio had left Ponder with a lot of work to do and not much inspiration, the resulting track was "I guess I need you" which was a Britney spears rip that would later be signed by breaks label Sonic Fortress.

The second visit to Ponders was something entirely different. Loaded with ideas and samples Bustin and Ponder managed to thrash out "Truffle Shuffle" an adrenalin fuelled ragga jungle romp that looked likely to tear up the dance floor. The track was signed to Lucky breaks within days of its completion and while it unfortunately never did come out on Lucky Breaks it was late picked up by Kniteforce and eventually released as part of the seminal "Jungley pea" as well as being included in Luna-C's supaset 5 and being played all over the world.

"Truffle Shuffle" changed things for Bustin more so than anything he had done before. While not becoming a household name he was starting to be recognized, even if it was for being "that guy what done that tune off the Jungley pea". Nevertheless more gigs came his way as a result of this and to date Bustin has played alongside some of the biggest names across the dance music spectrum including Pendulum, Sway, Fabio, Grooverider, Slipmatt, Brisk, Luna-c, Foreign Beggars, Scott brown, Adam F, Sharkey, Kev Energy and many many more.

Bustin went on to produce a few more tunes with DJ Ponder including Raging Skank (Endor records) and the much played but never released "Entranced". At this point Bustin took an inadvertent break from music production mainly because he had gone back to college to get his teaching qualification. Upon his return to production Bustin started working with former eruption fm DJ Skampy. With both artists on the same wavelength regarding taste and style the tunes began to flow. The combination worked a charm and in the last year and a half Bustin and Skampy Have signed tracks to numerous labels including Kniteforce, Endor and Rave Stylee. Along with this production success 2009 was also a massive year for Bustin the DJ as Bustin found himself playing out alongside some of the biggest names in the industry on a regular basis and his involvement with Kidson's Nu-rave/K2 organization led to him playing alongside some of his favorite old skool artists including Slipmatt, Devious D and Ash a-tak at the K2 summer showdown.

You can still catch Bustin on Eruption 101.3 FM each and every Sunday from 2-4 and there is much more to come from Bustin and Skampy on the production front with remix and original work penned in for the coming months and weeks.

Artst: Wan Bushi

Although he played his first instrument (violin) at the age of 6, Wan Bushi's real passion for music started around his 9 years when he got his first eurodance record for christmas (modo - ein zwei polizei). Quickly all the ultra top CD's hitting the charts in the 90's were added to his collection. And like many at his age he followed musical lessons in music school as well as drum & percussion lessons.

During his teenage period he focused mostly on playing drums in reggae, metal & punk bands, and following private drum lessons. But his love for the electronic secretly remained, and when he went to college in 2004 he heard drum n bass for the first time, and from that moment his love relation with underground music would never stop. All he needed was a computer and some speakers; a new bedroom producer was born.

As he had no DJ experience at all, he worked hard to create a live set with home made tunes. In 2006 he joined I&I Relations, a belgian party crew who gave him a chance to play at his first dnb party in 2007. Meanwhile, he also discovered breakcore through the many breakcore parties taking place in Belgium (so small country but soooo many parties). Because of the creative freedom of breakcore, and the possibility to combine nearly all kind of music with it, he slowly raised his bpm, replaced the dnb breaks with fast & furious jungle influenced breakcore drums, and spiced it up with eurodance & happy hardcore mashups. In 2008 & 2009 he kept producing the same way. This were also a very good year as he got many more bookings throughout the country and got more & more known for his own sound. He also started a new musical project to satisfy his musical needs by creating Nihaya Tree, a very melodic dub & downbeat influenced music concept.

At the end of 2009 he took part in the creation of Ragga Terror Front, a belgian collective composed of Belgian but also international artists like Strog (pl) and Junglefever (nl). It was created with the ambition of promoting diversified underground music like jungle, raggacore, breakcore, hardcore, and more.

Artst: DJ Skampy

After years of listening to old rave tape packs & Kiss Fm's Hardcore shows, it was a go on Mayhems decks from which Skampy caught the bug and began to learn the ways of the turntable in early 2002. After playing a few house parties including the legendary Astradance, Skampy & Mayhem decided to try their hand at production. After hooking up with Stargazer, their first productions Beyond Control & Exterminize were signed to Relentless Vinyl. More tracks followed with Whats this%3F! Released on Bedlam Records, Perverted Science with K.Complex, (Relentless Vinyl) and Check da Sound flow remix with Eryk Orpheus for Bedlam Records.

On the back of these recent production bombs, Skampy & Mayhem found themselves on the decks up & down the country at various different events with their most notable bookings at HTID playing an 88-94 set and Engima Vs Drop the Bomb @ Egg, Kings Cross, accompanied by Storm & Whizzkid. Other raves they have played include Fruit Club, Hardcore Xpression, Total Bedlam & Freeformation.

Next came Internet Radio, playing regular shows for Harddance.net, Hardcore Regime and hosting their own Week night show 'WestSide Wednesday' on Hardcore Revolution.

For the last couple of years or so, Skampy has gone underground, playing on London's Biggest Baddest & Longest running Hardcore Pirate Station, Eruption 101.3FM. Each & every Sunday afternoon.

After a lengthy break, an upstart in production has seen collaborations with Eruption FMs DJ TC and DJ Bustin..this has seen raved up dancefloor tracks combined with soaring trance leads put together on tracks 'Finally Made it' 'Invade' and 'Chemical Suggestion' with Rave playouts from Luna C, Marc Smith & DJ Vibes, with 'Finally made it' finding its way onto 'Platinum Rave Weekender' compilation, currently on sale in shops now.

There are many more tracks in the pipeline and also collaborations lined up with TC & MC Junior, Firefly, as well as recently getting back in the studio with Mayhem to bang out some nu style gabba, 2009 and 2010 have proven to be busy years and the only way is up!

Artst: Ruff Tactics

BITTEN BY THE MUSIC BUG: Back in early 1993, an 11yr old Garry tuned into a pirate radio station called Unity FM. Having heard all the talk, and the mystery surrounding this music that THE 'grown ups' severely frowned on he was intrigued. As he turned the dial and through the hiss and crackle heard an amen break creeping in he was hooked. He still has a recording of that first taste of what would become his passion. He still has no idea what that first track is either! Typical!

DJING IN AUSTRALIA 1998-2000: He started playing records in 1998, just learning the trade every fortnight down at Patsans record shop. He got a slot on a community radio station called ZZZ-FM 94.5. This was based in Hunter Street, Newcastle, and the station hosted all kinds of underground & commercial music from the cities various DJ'S. Here he first met Mark N from Bloody Fist Records, who at the time was doing his Nosebleed shows on the same station. This led to a number of bookings in pubs and clubs in Newcastle, and gave him a taste of playing out to a crowd.

FHP: In 2000 he made the jump into the production side of things was made after years of messing about trying. Having teamed up with friend Ryan Brown, they started to make and give away poorly made breakbeat and hardcore techno tracks. FHP were heavily influenced by what Bloody Fist and other crews who around at the time were doing. It was just a hobby for them that saw them getting a few live gigs playing the tracks they made to the poor unsuspecting Newcastle crowd at various haunts such as The Lucky Country, and the legendary Hunter on Hunter pub. It was at the time Newcastle was buzzing with underground music, good nights on every weekend.

10% RECORDS: By 2003 Garry was living in Sydney, so it was a lot harder to continue with FHP given the logistics of living in different towns. There seemed to be a growing interest in the Breakbeat Hardcore scene in the UK, so a decision was made to go down that road. People like Dave Skywalker & Luna C were making some very interesting noise in that department, and 10% wanted part of it. Garry had teamed up with fellow Essex boy James Coxell, and plans were put into place about doing a label, which kicked off fully when Garry returned to the UK late 2003. 2 CD releases came out fine, and one 'f*cked up' CD release where the stock was damaged and only about a dozen cd's were playable. 10% called it a day in style in late 2004, Dave Skywalker had booked them to play a live set in London, with the likes of Slipmatt, Vibes, Billy Bunter & Luna C on the lineup. The live PA went down a treat!

BUZZBEE: Garry returned to Australia days after the 10% gig in London, due to various things happening outside of music. It was around this time that Garry had become good friends with a german who played on the same internet station Ineffect Radio. The German enquired about 10%s future plans. Hearing there were none, the German (Soundbwoy Taz) suggested on starting up a label himself to release new 'oldskool' material. Buzzbee was born and Garry once again returned to the UK. Buzzbee led to 3 vinyl releases, and 2 trips overseas to play the label material at parties. Today Buzzbee records fetch good money on discogs. Garry recorded under the name Ruff Tactics & Dead Raver (more on that later..)

POLITICS: In 2006 scene politics started to simmer and eventually boil over. Various crews sided with each other (some switched teams at half time) and a very public slanging match ensued. People fell out, and people who were putting big money into the breakbeat hardcore/HCB scene were having all sorts of issues regarding distribution and promotion. Garry does not want to go into detail in what was said by who to who, or mention names, but when the HCB war is mentioned you can be sure Garry's name isn't far off people's lips.

ERUPTION FM: DJ Sike (fellow Buzzbee artist) told Garry, that eruption fm in east London was looking for new DJ'S for their weekend broadcasts, Garry joined the Eruption team (ironically replacing the crew he was arguing with in the HCB politics), and enjoyed a good run doing a Saturday afternoon shows. Playing on pirate radio was a lifelong dream, even more important than playing at a rave. Garry had to leave after about 6 months due to a new born baby but really valued his time on Eruption.

RENEGADE/SST: IN 2007 Garry joined new internet radio station Renegade run By Champion Puffa and his partner in crime Livvy. Through this Garry was also broadcast on Cyndicut FM. The station brought together a number of DJ'S and regulars in a tight knit family .A fellow DJ (yet another Essex boy) Jon SST decided to put together another label SST so he could release some music including Garry's Scar Wars series. (Scar Wars was born when Dead Raver died, it involved glass, pain and stitches in Poland, hence SCAR) Scar Wars Episode 2 being the more popular of Garry's tracks with it still being played out and about today.

BACK DOWN UNDER: In late 2008 Garry once again got restless and took his wife and Kids back to Australia. He wasn't off air long and soon was back doing regular shows on Renegade. Within 2 weeks of landing he was playing a warehouse party! Back in Newcastle with the old mates from the FHP days eventually sparked something off in Garry and the BREAKDOWN parties came to fruition in 2010. The May event had some 250 people attend an Outdoor free hardcore party and was a huge success bringing in old faces and new. Fresh of the success of the first event Garry steamed ahead with Plans to get Mark N back at a Newcastle gig this September. With his bullish approach it happened too. Just.

CURRENT LABELS & RELEASES: aswell as joining the team at Endor, Garry is also doing tracks for Hardcore Lives & Paranoid Recordings, and of course hardcore stuff through FHP.

Artst: Electrux / Firefly

"I have been releasing music since 2006, when CLSM pushed my tracks "Equinox" and "Solstice". Soon after Nu Energy started releasing tracks, and up until 2008 they were all produced on really bad stereo + speakers I bought from a car boot sale for a fiver, ten years earlier! I managed to get tracks on Bonkers 17 and Freeformation albums, as well as the Australian Massif Hardcore. In 2009 I helped Rebuild Music launch his label by providing some of my best material at the time, and got a track on the highly sought-after Worldwide Freeform album. In the meantime, I had a large number of tracks released on Electronic Exclusive CD's. I also have had a decent amount of airplay on BBC Radio 1 courtesy of Kutski.

In 2010 I decided to concentrate heavily on hardcore breaks, and had a release on Top Drawer Digital, as well as 2 releases on Sharkfin. I have forthcoming releases on Hardcore Energy 8, Held II Ransom, Drum & Bass / Breakbeat Hardcore released on Drum Style'e, the owner of which runs the nu-rave website (www.nu-rave.com) where I have a weekly radio show 7-8pm UK time, every Tuesday. I use this to showcase my new material, and play a wide variety of styles from house, techno, dubstep, hardcore breaks/j-tek, uk hardcore, old skool hardcore, happy hardcore, freeform, dark/techy/liquid drum & bass, and anything else I like the sound of.

The styles of music I make is as versatile as the style of music I play on the radio. I have a completely free label on Harmonize Digital where you can grab 320kbps versions of my tracks.

In 2011 I am back on the faster styles of breakbeat hardcore. I also have a UKH/Freeform crossover EP forthcoming on Trackmaster Music!

Thanks to everyone who helped me, no matter how small that help was. There is a lot more music to come from me. I am sitting on a crap load of tracks that will get releases on various labels. Keep an eye on my Soundcloud sites firefly and electrux for new material, as well as the Harmonize Digital label page for new free releases."

Artst: Lee van Corsa

Lee van Corsa, also known as Lee Hughes discovered rave in 1991:

"There wasn't much to do in Livingston then, still isn't, but in 1991 this event called Awesome 101 started happening at the Livingston Forum every month. A few mates got tickets for one and we headed along, it was just mental, you could feel the bass standing in the queue outside and when we got inside the whole place was going nuts. It was some buzz, we just kept saving up for tickets every month after that, 20 quid was a lot back then..."

Nearly 20 years passed before Lee tried making his own tunes, after trying a few different styles and not being happy with the results an attempt at making an old-skool rave track prompted a change of direction.

"It was a laugh, really. We were always digging out old tapes and sets from the old days and getting all nostalgic. I had tried making tracks before but never nailed the kind of sound I wanted. My mate said I should try and make an old-skool track, and one day I decided it would be a laugh to make something new that sounded like the old days. I even got some old 90s software to use for it, and found it alot more fun making a tune that way. Within a couple of days I had a track I was happy with. I've made a few now.."

And the future?

"A live PA would be fun, proper old style, MC, dancers, dust masks haha.. all that. That's what I'm picturing when I'm making the tracks: a couple of thousand ravers going nuts to a live PA in 1991. I write tracks to fit that picture, if it fits - it's good.. that's my quality control."

Artst: Coriolis

Coriolis, also known as the man with the best 'real' name in rave music - Eamonn Meadows (think about it) - joins Endor with a bit of jungle techno ruffness in the form of 'Gateways'. We decided to interview him as if he was applying for a job with Endor, so here's what we asked him:

When did you start making music?
"I started getting into music production back in 2000, getting a copy of cubase and recycle a couple of years later! Got a bit more serious with the oldskool revival around 2002, particularly the rebirth of Kniteforce records. By 2004 I was regularly getting production tuition from Hattrixx and decided that I should probably start a record label whilst vinyl sales were dropping off a cliff. Coriolis Effect records only ran for a couple of releases but I have continued to make music."

Why have you applied to us?
"I have applied to Endor records because of your track record in releasing high quality rave music. My productions have been heavily influenced by jungle tekno, particularly early Basement Records, as well as techno (of the non-minimal variety) and I believe that they represent significant added-value to you."

How do you cope under pressure?
"With a ready supply of prescription painkillers."

Where do you see yourself in five years time?
"I see myself in an office, at a computer. In five years and four hours time I see myself eating dinner. In five years and 12 hours time I see myself wrapped up in bed asleep. I also predict that I will have to devote more of my spare time to trimming nasal hair and I will be wearing different clothes."

What characteristics will you bring to the role?
"I will bring an intense passion for breakbeats, heavy kickdrums, an enthusiastic use of sampling and a ready supply of poor haircuts and inappropriate doodling."

Thank you for your time, we will be in touch.

Artst: TripleXL

"I'm TripleXL, a DJ from Barton upon Humber (North Lincolnshire) in the United Kingdom.

I got into Hardcore/Gabber back in '95, when I was 11 years old. I'd heard nothing like Hardcore ever before. The speed of it, the sounds used, the MC's and the whole DJ culture appealed to me. I wanted to be part of this 'scene'. As far back as I can remember I always wanted to DJ. Musical instruments didn't interest me, but DJ's...Fuck yeah! As the years passed at school my hunger for the music became unbearable, I needed to do it. So, with my weekend and summer jobs, I saved up enough money to by myself some turntables. Granted, they were shit, hahaha. Eventually I got, my beloved, Technics 1200's. From that day on I spent almost every spare minute I could getting to grips with them, as well as collecting vinyl. I started out playing Hardcore, Gabber and Speedcore which I still like very much.

Unfortunately the music started really 'evolving' into something I didn't perceive as Hardcore therefore it didn't appeal to me as much as it once did. I needed something new! After spending a night in York with the afore mention Verzatile, he'd introduced me to the sound of Makina... energetic, melodic and completely different to any music I had grown up with... I was hooked then and I still am now.

It's March 2003 to be precise, at Barrow upon Humber Village Hall. Matty D, a friend of my sister, asked me to play for his new event 'Renegade'. On the line up was Matty, Paul (Verzatile) and me. A small line up for something that was, originally, just something to do. It went great. The place was packed and everybody had a good time. From that event onwards I went into 'partnership' with Matty and helped to run Renegade, which became a huge success all over Lincolnshire and further afield. At the same time I was co-promoting Renegade, Martin (Psyrus) and I were running a pirate radio station, Area51Radio, which became outstandingly popular with a lot of the locals. Such amazing times were had doing both! Through running events, playing on Area51Radio, dishing out CD's and attending other events in the area, the bookings for events were becoming very frequent. The rest, as they say, is history...oh actually, no, there's more!

In late 2006 I started dabbling in the world of music production, it seemed like the natural progression to just mixing music. I wanted to re-create the old hardcore (Bouncy Techno) sound as that was my first love (well...after cherry bakewells anyway) and of course make Makina. It took me a good few attempts to get the hang of Cubase, and the monitor received all of my temper tantrums (RIP Chunky Monitor), but I eventually got to grips with it. I churned out a few tunes, my first full track being 'Stab Ya Hoover' the 'My Arse is Hungry for Love' which both received plays by Paul-O @ Uprising, get in! Then, as I got a little more into Cubase, I managed to whip up my first, proper, Makina production 'Bad Boy Bass' which got signed to the infamous Force 10 Records, Newcastle.

So, how did Dreamscape on Endor #5 come about? Spent some time listening to one of my very first tape packs, Dreamscape X. Each and every tape rammed with awesome music. Felt like giving an Old Skool Happy Hardcore track a go. Little bit of darkness amongst lashings of piano's and rave stabs. Ooo!"

Artst: Sams Myth (Amen-Tal)

Sam's Myth is a member of a label in the UK called AMEN-TAL - a collective of producers who all enjoy hearing the amen break more frequently than your doctor would normally recommend. The beats range from ambient drones to full on filth riddled breakcore, with the main focus being on various strains of Jungle music.

Sam started making tracks around 2004 using a variety of programs like Ableton, Logic and Reason. He joined Amen-Tal back in 2007 when at music college with Ali(Dr..Um) and Ciarian(Badman Moriarty) and since then has been playing at both their own nights based in Norwich and other gigs around the UK meeting some wicked crews along the way.

"Hope this inspires you to get into the studio & make some music of your own.

The Killerwhale remix?... We did it because we could & for no other reason."

Artst: Electric Tribe

Where did it all begin? Back in early 2001. Long live the revival of oldskool... Unfortunately it was ten years too early and went in completely the wrong direction and failed miserably to generate any homegrown interest.

Electric Tribe were behind Ectopic Beats, and there were two releases on this label, which sold mainly in Japan and Germany.

This got championed by Rob Da Bank on his Radio 1 leftfield show & subsequently almost got them signed to Virgin records and Carl Cox's label. Despite this they still have a few hundred copies floating about of Ectopicbeats Vol2 - their favourite of the two releases with the offical acidic Electric Tribe remix of DJ Skywalkers legendary Killerwhale track. Ave it!

As for Ectopic Beats? It's not dead.....Just having a rest.

Artst: Instigator

Instigator used to be into indie and rock music such as Oasis and Led Zeplin - he used to play the guitar, and played it for about 6/7 years but lost interest.

He started to spin the techno vinyl back in 2004 and was well into the Adam Bayer, Ben Sims, Mark EG etc, and soon enough in 2005 started to discover the hard side of techno.

He started to play tracks of Boris-S, Sven Wittekind, Matt M, Maddox, Greg Notill, and all the banging stuff he could get his hands on.

Then the tunes coming out got better and better, harder and harder, and then he discovered even more banging producers such as Svetec, Albert kraner, Lexis, Alex TB, Buchecha etc

He realized that he wanted to produce the hardtechno/schranz and quickly began to do so in 2006, and now has lots of releases on a lot of different labels.

He is a big part of the very sucsessfull uk run schranz label Kaos Extreme bring out the power of the industry and is now a part of the world famous Trivial Bookings.

"I have played at some great parties in UK and Europe such as Critical Damage (Bulgaria), Histeria (Spain), Darkness (Slovakia), Liberty White (Belgium), Svetec And Friends (Hungary), and many more to follow. Here are a few of the labels I have released on - KAOS EXTREME, GNot (France Greg Notill), Digmay, Young Blood, Tlgk Rec Hard As Hell, and many more.

HARD AS FUCK CONSTANTLY"

Artst: Luna-C

Luna-C (born Christopher Howell on May 1, 1973) is a British DJ and record producer, known for his work in breakbeat hardcore music. He made up a third of the rave group Smart E's in 1992, which had a number 2 hit in the UK with a remix of the Sesame Street theme song ("Sesame's Treet").

Luna-C founded the Kniteforce Records label in 1992, which has continued to have a cult following throughout hardcore music's changes in popularity. Kniteforce sprouted subsidiaries and Luna-C produced hundreds of tracks and remixes, under the name Luna-C and other aliases. Luna-C sold Kniteforce Records in 1997, and the label stopped releasing records, but Luna-C resurrected the label as Kniteforce Again (KFA) in 2001, bringing back Kniteforce Records and all its subsidiaries. An internet forum and online store propelled KFA back into the spotlight. The label has maintained niche market popularity in the hardcore scene among dedicated followers and breakbeat hardcore fans.

DJing at raves and clubs worldwide, Luna-C has become well respected in his native United Kingdom and many other countries, including Germany, Australia, New Zealand, the United States, Canada, Japan, and Poland. His name has become synonymous with a versatile and varied style of mixing, incorporating breakbeat hardcore, freeform, happy hardcore, old skool hardcore and drum and bass into his sets. His use of unreleased dubplates and DJ tools, which he produces for the purpose of playing live, is considered unique. These planned but innovative sets have been released free online, in a series called the "Supasets". Many of his releases on Kniteforce Records and sister label Remix Records have received wide airplay among hardcore DJs. Some, such as "Piano Progression" or "Take Me Away" and "Six Days" (as Cru-L-T with fellow producer Jimmy J), have been considered classics of this style. KFA tracks such as "My Angel" have received critical acclaim from the UK music press.
