    David Rodigan - www.rodigan.com
    DJ David Rodigan may look like a stockbroker or an insurance salesman but he's a reggae superstar, both in his homeland of England and in Jamaica. For over 30 years David Rodigan has been the top dog in the ganja-scented, bass heavy-atmosphere of Britain’s reggae dance-halls. The key to his success has been an unsinkable passion for reggae music, which first took a hold of him as a schoolboy when he heard ska music in the early ’60s.

    He developed an obsession with the music of Jamaica that generated an encyclopaedic knowledge of the island’s every artist, every song and every rhythm track.

    His earliest experience of dee jaying was during lunch breaks once a week in the gym at Gosford Hill School in Kidlington, Oxford. On leaving school he landed a place at the Rose Bruford College of Speech and Drama in 1971, where he spent three years studying to become an actor. He worked extensively in repertory theatre and appeared in a number of television productions such as ‘Doctor Who’ (BBC) and ‘Shackleton’ (BBC); he also performed his one-man show ‘Zima Junction’ at literature festivals and theatres in the 1970s; a dramatisation of the poem by the Russian writer Yevtushenko.

    Rodigan began his reggae broadcasting career in 1978 on BBC Radio London. He moved to Capital Radio in 1979 and remained there for eleven years broadcasting his legendary ‘Roots Rockers’ show every Saturday night. His credibility was ensured when he began clashing with Jamaica’s champion DJ, Barry G on JBC Radio in Jamaica. He then went on to clash with all the top Jamaican sound systems in the West Indies, the USA and England.

    In 1984 he joined BFBS [British Forces Broadcasting Corp] where broadcast his weekly reggae show for 25 years until 2009.

    In 1990 he joined the newly legalised Kiss 100 where he presented a variety of daytime shows for 10 years. He is still with Kiss 100 and his Reggae show can be heard every Sunday night at 11pm.

    In 2006 he was inducted into the Sony Radio Academy Hall Of Fame. He also won the Sony Radio Academy Gold Award for ‘Best Specialist Music Programme’ in 2009 for his Sunday night Kiss Show ‘Rodigan’s Reggae’.

    He plays his unique collection of customised dub plates and classic recordings extensively across Europe, especially in Italy and Germany, and in North America and the West Indies, to loyal reggae fans worldwide.

    Vocal samples of Rodigan can be found on the dubstep track 'Together' by Breakage, on the introductory track of Caspa's 2009 Album Everybody's Talking, Nobody's Listening, and on the intro to Alborosie's debut album 'Soul Pirate', and the main vocal of Sukh Knight's 'Ganja', plus countless other jungle/drum & bass tracks. Ad-Rock mentions Rodigan by name on the 2011 Beastie Boys track 'Say It'. He is also the DJ for RamJam FM in Grand Theft Auto: Episodes From Liberty City...

    Todd Terje - www.myspace.com/toddterje
    Born and raised in the Norwegian village of Mjondalen Todd Terje belongs to the royal dynasty of contemporary disco. Since his teenage years he has bustled disco research together with his close friends Prins Thomas and Hans-Peter Lindstrøm. What followed were a vast number of tracks and remixes on labels like Full Pupp, Bear Funk, Mule or Eskimo Recordings. Another fixed axle of his work mark his edits of favoured tracks in pop history, partially released (under monikers like Tango Terje) partially just made to be played in his eclectic DJ sets, that have brought him a loyal following over the whole planet. A young guy with the knowledge of the past disclosing the way into the future.
