looks like the protocol http:// was not included... sorry guys...

DJ RAP http://music.download.com/djrap
Ignoring the trends and focusing obsessively on refining her own sound, DJ Rap is unquestionably one of the most ass-kicking worldwide drum n’ bass dj’s on the circuit. Her trademark rolling beats, scatter-shot breakbeats and bellowing dub basslines with rude boy vocals brings memories of jump-up heaven. What more can you ask for? This Proper Talent is truely an inspiration for domestic scenes worldwide.

Junior Cartel http://music.download.com/juniorcartel
Tommy Knocker and DJ Jon 'love' Jon, collectively known as Junior Cartel, craft a sound that is made up soulful drum n' bass vibes and uplifting vocals that knock out a rhythm you just can’t help but move. Add a heavyweight bassline and a r&b swing and you got yourself a
melody that will flow like warm honey.

The Insiders http://music.download.com/theinsiders
Born out of a hip-hop culture, Bristol based The Insiders, (also known as Ben Payne and Joe Wills) both share the same love for funky grooves and soulful vocals. Filtering technology into a new organic reality, their hard steppin’ drum n’ bass beats mashed up with jazzy undertone flavors holds the promise of nights without end.

Psidream http://music.download.com/psidream/
Canadian producer and DJ Psidream is a lot more versatile than you might at first think. In fact, he started producing drum 'n' bass before picking up the art of spinning. Working from the less streamlined and more futuristic end of the tech-step sound, Psidream fuses digital smoothness with Breakbeat Science's prismatic angularity.

Pieter K http://music.download.com/pieterk
Hovering somewhere between Gilles Peterson and Photek, Pieter K combines jazzy rhythms with an elegant atmospheric touch, one that reaches back into timeless tracks yet also looks forward toward emerging drum 'n' bass developments. Avoiding formulaic rhythms, his emotive melodies are as capable of influencing up-and-comers as they are of creating harmony on the dance floor.

Aphrodite http://music.download.com/aphrodite
With a succession of sample-heavy, low-riding jump-up tunes that date from the beginning of the rave era to the present day, Aphrodite cuts the sort of drum 'n' bass that will make the hairs on your arms tingle. Not only does he run the successful Urban Takeover label with U.K. producer/DJ Mickey Finn, but Aphrodite has a reputation as the man who puts the bass in drum 'n' bass.
