KUZAM&EVILBASS - Silent Storm / System Fuse
Kuzam & Evilbass start their musical career since teenagers, when the first one was involved in Altered Beats crew, while Evilbass was a part of the Aenimal Collective.
2004 was the year of inception for the duo: a shared project focused on Drum'n'Bass takes life and they starts making shows as Dj's in the biggest gigs and clubs around Italy like Level57 and Link (Bologna), Forte Prenestino (Rome), Pergola (Milan), ExMud (Florence) , The Target (Bari), Dresscode (Pisa) just to name a few.
The duo's next step is a complete dedication for developing their own beats, making sense when labels like Soundkraft(DnB), Modulate-Data(DnB),
Dirty Drop(Breaks), No sense of Place(Breaks) and Transistor Technology(DnB) sign up some of their works.
Kuzam & Evilbass are currently involved in a crew of Dj/Producers called Sochopatix, developing the Sochopatix Recordings label; they're also a part of the "Drumassociated" association, whose purpose is to become a booking agency and a promoters meeting point.

SEWASIDE COLLECTIVE - The Legendary Battle / Istanbul Star
Pasquale "Code2" Belvito and Jack "Plastix" Cucchi are the promoting partners of Sewaside Collective, a group of djs and producers who came from a deep research in the black music field, starting from early 90s.
Now, ranging from hiphop music to the sounds of new millennium, the "sewasiders" are rinsing old school breaks, movie samples and growling basslines into tracks that let your imagination wonder through stories and alternative worlds.
Istanbul Star and The Legendary Battle are the two sides of the same coin. One is a dreamy journey to a heavenly place, the other is the tragedy of a destroyed world.
"Sewaside is the sewer side of our city as well as the meaning of the neighbourhood name where we grew up" Sewaside C. / Code2 &Plastix
