Damian Lazarus

Record label owner, producer, & DJ. Damian is driven by an almost childlike curiosity, a vivid imagination and a wicked sense of humour. He used his role as a DJ, label owner and now musician to nurture and share the most exciting and experimental music on the planet. Drawn to the darkness, but buoyed by the light, ever ready to embrace new ideas and different perspectives on music and the dance floor. Lazarus is always ahead of the curve, with a wry smile on his face and neat trick up his sleeve. How many DJ's do you know who've played 'Reviewing The Situation' (from the 'Oliver' soundtrack, no less) half speed to a jubliant crowd at DC 10 in Ibiza. How many DJ's do you know who received a sitting ovation on the dance floor? We welcome Damian back to Leeds

Clive Henry

Clive is one of the UK’s longest standing flag-wavers for underground house music having been an original member of the West London house mafia, one half of the genre-defining tech house outfit Peace Division and resident at the world’s most musically influential nightclub DC10.

Now part of the Crosstown rebels family 2010 promises to be an eventful one for Clive with his solo production path beginning to take shape and collaborations in the pipeline with good friends Jamie Jones and Dyed Soundorom. In addition, his new Rebel Rave mix compilation for Crosstown Rebels will be hitting the stores this August.

It's been five years since Damian played alongside Clive Henry in Leeds. We expect nothing less than magic from this forthcoming Circoloco event!

Simon Baker

Simon Baker stands apart from his peers, a U.K artist that knows his own style and generates his own musical footprint. Pioneering labels clamber for his tracks, each creating a fresh storm and the world of his dextrous musical style has spread to the far reaches of the globe as he tours the continents relentlessly. Not one but two of Baker's productions made it into i Tunes best Of Year charts in 2009 and 2010. Leads up to the release of his debut artist album, expected for release this year on his home label 20 20 Vision.

An avid vinyl collector himself, Adam has recently launched One Records alongside Subb_an, friend and rsident of adam's own night, Below. The label aims to encapsulate the energy and dexterity of artists and crowds that the party has connected with most, and doing exactly that their first release 'The Musik EP' brought two deep and off-kilter acid tracks, with praise from DJ Mag, radio 1 and Germany's DE:Bug magazine, amongst others.

Now a firm favourite at Basics he has been a guest at almost every credible club throughout the world and has established himself as a key player on the scene. These days Buckley’s experience, versatility and skills shine consistently and although he has an expansive knowledge of many styles his focus, when DJing, producing or remixing is on quality house music.

Andy Whittaker

He has been a resident DJ for Asylum from day one, playing alongside some of his heros whilst gaining their respect at the same time.

His mum's love of reggae and soul music, combined with his dad's extensive record library meant Dan was absorbing quality sounds from an early age.
