About Urban Links:

Urban Links is a team with an aptitude for dnb music. It was founded in 2000 by 4 friends: Mahmut Salama (Dj Max), Manthos Sardis (Dj Texture), Manolis Afolanio (Mc Yinka) and Michalis Afolanio (Mc Dash).

After the breakdown of Subsonic in 1998 (in which Dj Max was a member) and some years of internal activity, development and musical wandering, the four friends decided to join their forces and aim at bringing dnb in the limelight. The energy and intensity coming from their live appearances through their music, as well as the non stop rhythm of their Mcs' flow, mesmerize people and make their events unique and full of energy.

Influences: my influences are not necessarily portrayed in my music but they were something like phaces in my life that led me to what i am now. hmm!! let me see: the ill flows of busta rhymes,the improvisational style of john coltrane and miles davis,the revolutionary bass playing of paul jackson of the headhunters,the music of parliament funkadelic because its all about the concept!!,the laid back grooves of the soulquarians(d'angelo,the roots,common,j dilla,erykah badu etc)the whole stones throw family, the dark tunes of the metalheadz, the sweet voice of luciano, the fire of capleton,the grooving massages of fela kuti . EVERYTHING IS EVERYTHING AND MUSIC IS ONE
