Catscan

Catscan started producing music a few years ago on his Amiga with Protracker. After sending a demo to ID&T, the A&R manager advised him to buy more professional equipment. One year later Catscan returned with a new demo and ID&T decided to release his first 12" on Thunderdome records. Through ID&T Bart got in contact with DJ Promo and they worked together on a few tracks. After ID&T stopped pressing hardcore records, Catscan joined Promo at the Third Movement. With The Third Movement, Catscan had his own label called: Catscan Limited.

Tha Playah

Tha Playah, born as Jim Hermsen in 1982, has developed his own particular style from the very beginning. Few artists had a start that can be compared to the storm this man unleashed in 2002. With enormous hits on the very popular Neophyte label he has proven himself record after record. Being one of the few artists ever to be contracted from the very start of his career to a label as prestigious as Neophyte Records, this dj made it very clear he deserved that chance.
