SERUM:
A combination of hard graft and over 10 years of experience in music production has seen Serum rise from relative obscurity into being one of the most prolific of the new breed of dnb producers. His mix of vintage jungle and futuristic modern jumpup has shown widespread appeal, with tracks being picked up by many of the scene's longest standing brands, such as Dread, Creative Source, Grid and Timeless, as well as many of the scene's freshest up and coming labels.
Serum's career in dnb began after being spotted in 2004 by veteran producer Ray Keith, and signed exclusively to the legendary Dread imprint. The 4 years that followed saw him releasing a string of singles and EPs, and remixing classic tracks like "Sing Time" and "Girls Dem Want it". Working with Ray Keith allowed Serum to learn what what the crowd wanted, giving him the knowledge and skills to create tracks that smash the dancefloor. His biggest release on the label, "Dub Dread" came in 2005, which was played by Andy C, and became the title track for a series of mix albums on Dread.
In early 2008, Serum made the decision to branch out into working with other labels. Since then he has gone from strength to strength, with a string of releases and remixes that have been championed by Fabio, Randall, Andy C, Friction, Dillinja, Marky, Bryan G, Ray Keith, Twisted Individual and many more. Early 2009 saw the release of "Snake Fist" co produced with Bladerunner, and his remix of DJ Stretch's "Papa Lover" both of which broke into the Radio 1 dnb charts. It also saw Serum being chosen as 1xtra DJ Bailey's hot pick for 2009. Serum shows no sign of slowing down, and continues to build up his success with projects in the pipeline coming out on Grid, Zombie, Liquid V, Dread, Critical, Nam and Muzik Hertz, plus remixes in the pipeline for Twisted Individual, Total Science, Liondub, Topcat, DJ Stretch and many more.

ZEN:
Zen St George, a skilled producer and DJ from Fulham, London, began listening to hardcore at school at the tender age of 13 years old and began buying records at the age of 15. Soon after, he started saving up and got hold of his first pair of Technics along with a mixer. From here on, he taught himself to mix, becoming confident enough to start recording his own mix tapes. He continued to spend his entire wages from his part time job on records, finding himself out of cash at the end of every week, but this was to pay off in the long run.
In 1995, Zen met Lee Greenaway AKA Twisted Individual on local radio show Shadow FM. Lee was producing at home on his PC back then and inspired Zen to create his own music. While at University, in between studying Print and spending many nights under the influence, Zen decided to put his student loan money to good use and bought himself a PC. He got hold of all the hardware required and was finally in business and ready to start making tunes.
By now Lee had started Grid Recordings, and took on most of Zen’s early work including Illusions, Tentacle, Jazz Drive, Cyclone, Mindframe and Turnstyle (most recently re-worked by Baron) tunes that were going to shape his future productions.
Tracks such as Flying Cups, Monster Munch, T-Rex and Rhubarb and Custard together with various releases on other imprints have earned him respect throughout the scene. All this activity earnt Zen a nomination for Best Newcomer Producer at the Accelerated Culture Awards 2004, a sure sign of a rising star. Somewhat the celebrity these days, with nominations, appearances in Knowledge Magazine and on BBC Radio 1 and BBC Radio 1Xtra it seems that no-one can hold this man down! Now the future holds various releases on Grid, Zombie, under a mixture of aliases as well as his own signature, and remixes for the likes of Twisted Individual, Generation Dub, TOV and Hazard. His forthcoming tunes are being championed by the likes of Grooverider, SS, Mickey Finn, Shy FX, Nick Blackmarket, Twisted Individual, Hazard & L Double to name but a few. These days Zen is a regular at nights around the country and with further releases in the pipeline and remix offers on the way in, we have been told by Zen the best is yet to come…
