Jon the Baptist - http://highfish.dancehost.net
Since school he hasn't held down a job for more than a matter of weeks, infact nothing can motivate this lazy son of a... , except Trance. "The only thing which gets me out of bed each morning" explains Jon... Music has always been a major interest in Jon's life since his school days when he listened to hardcore. After finding (now a lifelong) friend Dave Spinout out of fate, the pair continued to laze around spending all hours learning how to produce music using technology.
In time Jon gathered together his own equipment and made his studio in his mothers house, his mother being as much of a fan of trance as Jon. This enabled Jon to not even have to go out of the house anymore, secluded in his studio of flashing lights and orgasmic trance, Jon was complete.
Furiously on a quest for trance knowledge, Jon's have got better and better with each track. His first release was on UK label 2XS Recordings, a sub label of Alien Trax, which eventually led to him being signed for producing on Italian Based label Future Sound Ccorporation. Also co-writing and mastering the projects 'THE ELITE' and 'PRO-T.O.N.', Jon's first release was 'Neutron' and 'Insomnia' which he remixed with DJ Iain Cross for release. Since Jons signing to FSC he has featured on 8 of their last 14 releases, including various remix requests and alias's. All of Jons FSC work has recieved an extreme amount of airtime, across the globe, and has featured on many leading Hard Trance compilations.
Whilst workin on the harder edge of trance with Future Sound Corp, Jon began working on the 'JTB' project, fusing energetic pumping ryhthms with euphoric riffs and breakdowns. His first track 'Transenergy' was quickly snapped up by Alphamagic for release on Sectioned Recordings, a label which has featured artists such as Uberdruck, Alphazone and The Organ Doners to name a few. The Release came bundled with a remix from Swiss trancemasters Spoke and Vespa and has recieved a lot of airtime, and featured on some leading CD compilations such as ID+T's Trance series.
Through Jons productions he has created an oppurtunity to gain many plays at well respected clubs and events around europe. He gained a residency at the infamous Country Club in 2002, and since then has not looked back.

Madam Zu - http://www.sparkleproductions.freeserve.co.uk/
Head of NILE RECORDS, Madam Zu (Julia), can look forward to another great year of amazing DJ performances, production and vinyl releases to consolidate her profile as purveyor of one of the most exciting sounds around.
Must have releases on MOHAWK, NILE & AZTEC (who can forget scorchers "The Red Pill" and "Spinback") that remix of ANDY FARLEYS "The Warning" and a string of other consistantly played hard house faves have pushed Julia to the forefront of popularity during the last 18 months, resulting in extensive club tours of the US and Canada and taken her from top UK nights such as PENDRAGON, RIPSNORTER & CHEEKY LITTLE MONKEY to the bizarre experiences of Japanese clubland in TOKYO and OSAKA.
