I don't like to file music into genres and sub genres as classifications are virtually always opinionated. However, Bedrock has to be one of the best record labels ever.

Miss XS is now back behind the decks after taking time out to work on her productions and remixes. Having a Top seller on Influential Trax under her alias Dirt:E Funkin Djs, a Vinyl release due out in Australia under her Miss XS name and remixing for some of the best digital labels around, she has been hard at work making all styles of Electro House and House. With her remix of "Prodigy - Charly " rocking clubs from Gatecrasher in Ibiza to Pacha in Spain, radios in Australia and clubs in the UK, she is showing people just why she is tipped to be the next big thing.
Her tracks are now selling on the best digital sites on the internet and being played by some of the best djs in the scene.

Miss XS is fast impressing promoters world wide being asked back again and again after getting the crowds packed into events and even being asked to play extra time over in the USA when promoters and clubbers noticed a particular talent. Her name is fast spreading on Both scenes in the UK as well with many promoters booking her as far in advance as September. With an Australia / Asia tour being sorted out at the moment.
Miss XS has been playing Hard Dance music for almost 5 years now taking in a wide variety of clubs around the world in areas such as Greece, Dubai and UK. Just over 2 years ago she started seriously producing and after months of hard work in the studio has now got 10 Hard Dance tracks signed and released both on digital and vinyl. Her tracks are being played at events around the world and are causing a stir.
Two years ago Miss XS also branched out to play House music which has become a success for her. After her first UK gig just a month after starting house music she was asked out to China and things have picked up from there with gigs in Ibiza, Norway, Miami, Washington Dc and many more including a gig at the world famous WMC last year, as well as Space and Nikki beach in Miami.
From bedroom to professional engagements in a few short months, Miss XS's Career really took off when she moved from her native Wolverhampton to Derby a couple of years ago for university and has continued to flourish since the move to Stoke on Trent. Now playing House music aswell as Hard Dance Miss XS has established herself worldwide. Much has been achieved since starting out with national bookings playing hardstyle and hard dance in clubs, bars and on national and international radio stations, with performances archived and weekly on the web.

Rhythm Rebels
After meeting each other through a student radio station during the late 90's, Alex and Owain could sense that they had an instant empathy for the way each other lived for music. Both were already emerging talents on the Midlands underground music scene and the obvious next move was to collaborate.
Honing their skills and thirst for musical knowledge through endless club appearances, sound system performances and free parties (sunrise in the wood's set's........cant beat them!!!), meant it wasn’t long before Rhythm Rebels had an acute understanding of what it takes to achieve their shared goal; to rock people to their foundations!!
This pair don’t just play records they put on shows. Their natural ability to work as a team is best seen in their live DJ performances. Whether it is one hour or several days they consistently rock crowds with a unique 'cut and scratched' blend of their own productions, along with those of other artists who fit their distinctive and original sound. This delivers what people need to forget their daily grind and loose themselves to the music. Their live performances encapsulate all that is important to the twosome; music and the people and machines that love it.
With ongoing remixes, original productions and more live appearances, Rhythm Rebels continue to build their reputation as one of the 'not to be missed' electronic music acts making their way up through the ranks.

Don't get that much time to be a couch potatoe, but when I do, I like anything from the news through to football and cricket.
How to DJ properly - The title itself can really intimidate a lot of dj's. However, it is a book full of really good tips and tricks that I would say are essential in todays highly competitive environment.
I think that by my age we have all grown out of the hero worshiping culture, and that does not imply that I am an old fart. So be warned!!!
