Artists
 Tactus
Tactus is a bass & dubstep music producer/DJ from Edinburgh and runs ABAGA Records. His music is an eclectic blend of dub reggae, amen breaks, danceable four-to-the-floor dubstep grooves, and most of all prominent sub-basslines. With a Radio 1 session under his belt and gigs with artists including The Others, Tes La Rok, Flux Pavilion, Remarc and Andy C have firmly established Tactus as a force to be reckoned in the dance music scene. Tactus plays regularly at Edinburgh club nights such as JungleDub, Split and Nu-Fire. Since his first release in early 2009, he has put out music through Little Rascal Records, C-Front Sounds, Nerve Breaks and his own ABAGA Records and has pushed boundaries and gained great responses. |
 The Mighty Cornelius
‘Well, let’s face it, I’ve met them all, and I’ve been lucky enough to call many of them my friends: Frank Sinatra, The Mighty Cornelius, Sammy Davis Jr., Glen Campbell’ – Tom Jones Remember his name. With the splatter of gutty-wuts The Mighty Cornelius (Tom Jones) melds glitchy samples, processed beats and stuttering sub that will make you mess your keks. Fact. The Mighty Cornelius is also one of ABAGA Records’ co-founders. Influences: Infected Mushroom, CKY, Psychick TV, iTAL tEk, Dan the Automator, Mr Scruff, Dangermouse |
 Dunt
Glaswegian producer Dunt (Andrew Samson) started out producing drum’n’bass in 2005, and has progressed on to making melodic, sub-heavy dubstep. His tracks are usually comprised of two contrasting sections and incorporate unusual drum patterns (as he is also a professional drummer). His first release on ABAGA Records, ‘Here Comes The Snake’ free EP, was a titillating glimpse of things to come. |
 TeKlo
TeKlo’s music is born out of his infatuation with cool sounds, punchy beats and the occasional glitchy rhythm. Following his live BBC Introducing live session, he has been described as “One of the greatest Dubstep talents of the moment”, though his style expands beyond the Dubstep sound. With tracks ranging from Electrohouse to Drumstep, to his recent experimentations with multiple tempos, TeKlo retains his dark, technical sound. His first release “Colour:Red” was well received, with much airplay from BBC Radio 1’s Ally McCrae & Vic Galloway, and landed him official remix offers from Stylah & Smiler, and Dead Set Gemini. With a firm backing from worldwide DJs and promoters, TeKlo is on his way up. |
 SubShot
SubShot started making music in 2004 and began gaining recognition after making jungle tracks which have been described as very reminiscent of Photek and Source Direct. Now he is making Dubstep and has recently collaborated with TeKlo. The most known track of the collaboration is ‘Destroyer’ which has been dropped at nights around the world. Expect some sub heavy bass and hard hitting beats. |

 G.Davies

Stating influences as diverse as Autechre, Brian Eno & New Order with nods to current producers like 2562, Ramadanman & Martyn his productions are stark, bass driven pieces ready for the dance floor or headphone zoning out equally.
