you know a producer has got something when the first note of the first track you hear makes you sit up and take notice. so it is with 19-year-old east londoner joss ryan: the instant the jabbing orchestral motif at the beginning of >melancholy dreams< – the title track of his debut ep – kicks in, it hits your emotional centres hard and lodges in your memory. as statements of intent go, its a pretty tasty one, and tells you that this is a talent who can stand out and make an impact way beyond the ins and outs of the micro-genres and endlessly reconfiguring trends of underground music.to put it simply: joss is a grime kid who expanded his horizons. his popular mix of his own material for mary anne hobbss radio show last december already shows that the three tracks on this ep are by no means a fluke, and there is a whole lot more to come besides…

dimitri kneppers (1967) music career reads like an encyclopedia. a house encyclopedia. after 23 years of spinning records you could call this dj a true veteran. known for his enormous sensitivity, true feeling and mixing skills he gives you the sense you are the voyeur of an intimate act between two lovers. the music and the man. but nobody ever felt and looked so comfortable behind the decks as dj dimitri, for he brings the crowd at ease like don juan would do with women. when ecstasy is no longer just a word, but a true magical moment as the crowd, the surroundings and the music all come together in one hypnotizing state of happiness. this man knows -or should we say feels- what he is doing, not only behind the decks but also when producing. in september 2007 dimitri said goodbye to his headphones to work on a farm with mentally handicapped people. fortunately for his fans the break wasnt premanent in the middle of last year he installed a studio in his home, then this past june he returned to the decks - now he makes his planet e debut with a stunning track already tearing up dancefloors. included is the first of two remixes by carl craig. a second ep with remixes by orlando voorn and carl craig will appear in early 2011
