Russell (dair)- Next Level Records

Located in the heart of Perth city, Next Level Records was founded in 2005 and has since become Perth's premier retail record store and events ticket outlet. Next Level has played an important part in the explosion of Drum & Bass culture created in Perth over the past years. Supplying more Drum & Bass than any other store Australia wide on a weekly basis. Next Level has a highly respected positive image with in the dance music scene and is run by respected local DJ's that have been around for over a decade. I live in Perth WA. I produce music, dj and run the shop for a living. I left school after year 11 and went to music collage. I then went to the UK and USA on a mission to write music with many different producers. I started dj-ing in Perth in 1998 – playing hardcore at local club Gravity (RIP) and worked my way to 3 tours of the UK & USA, playing for the UK's #1 hardcore promoter "HTID" also rave legends "Raindance", received bookings across the west coast of America at several massive festivals and events including the massive Fransisco's NYE event "Coolworld" and a mad event in on Hollywood BLVD - Hollywood California, played New Zealand and regularly playing Australia's premier events "Utopia" Sydney. On top of that Dair is currently signed with 8 of hardcore's biggest record labels including Next Generation- UK(Brisk + Ham) , KFA Kniteforce- UK (Luna-C), Hecttech- UK, Thin N Crispy -UK (Robbie Long), Switched On Records UK, Uprising records UK and SSU Subsonic Underground USA I kind of feel I've achieved enough in the world of hardcore to be happy and could never of dreamed of being in some of the situations that I was in, so I'm looking to expanding my output of music into Drum n Bass as of 2007..... I've always been into breakbeat orientated hardcore and breakbeat in general and signing to Kniteforce gave me the inspiration and chance that enabled me to release the sort of sounds that I was really into back then. I've now been busy as fuk in the Next Level studio making Drum n Bass & we've got a load of smashers about to drop.
