JOKER
Aged just 20, Joker is an immensely precocious talent, he burst onto the Dubstep and Grime scenes in 2008 with the vibrant ‘Grimey Princess’ and ‘Gully Brook Lane’ which were released on Earwax and Plastician’s Terrorhythm imprint respectively. His productions possess a rare duality of intense and nonchalant energy, the soundtrack to a pimp on an interstellar journey. Joker has remixed Roni Size, Simian Mobile Disco and Lil Boots, his productions are battered by DJs including Skream, Rustie, Harmonic 313 and Plastician. Pitchfork named Joker, 2008 Producer Of The Year a huge accolade for a producer who’s not only just out of his teens but also just out of the starting blocks.Born to Grime and adopted by Dubstep, Joker is reluctant to be classified, but his soul drenched productions have been described as Jehri Curl Boogie and Wiley stuck in an elevator with Cameo.
PLASTICIAN
Chris Reed, also known as Plastician (formerly Plasticman), is a grime and also dubstep DJ and producer from Thornton Heath in the London borough of Croydon. Plastician has played a role in the popularity of the genre thanks to his participation in the Rephlex Grime compilations, his primetime pirate radio shows and his recent BBC Radio 1 Residency slot. In addition to his worldwide DJ schedule, Plastician has released records on labels such as Rephlex Records, Soulja, ROAD, Slimzos, A.R.M.Y. and Southside Dubstars. His musical style connects east London grime to the south London dubstep scenes. Plastician also runs his own label; Terrorythm Recordings. He has a passionate love of chicken and can often be found in south London eateries, Morley's and Mazzi.
ROSKA
Roska (born Wayne Goodlitt 13th January 1983), started as a UK Garage MC under the name Mentor around 1998. As scene and sounds change, Mentor slowly changed to Mentor Roska to Roska and slowly moved from MC to Producer/ DJ. Alienated by the Bad man chat endemic to grime, Roska's work moved towards the more house and broken beat oriented style. Roska’s first releases are already underground classics: the massive ‘Feeline’, notable for its Perlon-alike B-side ‘Boxed In’, the Climate Change EP and 'Elevated Levels'. In 2009, alonside Jamie George, he released the album wonderful days on his own label, 'Roska Kicks and Snares' and 2010 saw the much anticipated release of 'Roska - Roska', his album for Rinse recordings, which has cemented him as one of the most exciting up and coming producers.

Jamie George is a musician on a rapid rise to the front line of the ever growing U.K music scene. More recently recognised as the voice of Roska's underground hits "Wonderful Day" and "Love 2nite" and also DJ Zinc's "Love to Feel this Way". Heavily supported by Rinse FM and alot of the U.K's elite DJs, Jamie's talents are being more recognised. Recently signed by Rinse Recordings [Katy B, Skream & Benga, Roska], Jamie has worked hard to develop and grow as not only as an artist but also as a song writer and producer. Jamie George has worked with some amazing artists and producers over the last decade which has inevitably helped him to become one of the U.K's future brightest stars
