Sy & Unknown, both DJs as well as producers, formed Quosh Records in 1994 and turned it into one of the leading happy hardcore labels of the mid- to late '90s. The two first met at a Fusion event in Farnborough, Hampshire. DJ Unknown had been producing tracks for some time, and DJ Sy spun many of his records. The two decided to collaborate on some tracks, the first being 'Are You Ready' (Hectic Records, 1994). Soon after, the two were releasing records on Quosh and continued to further their respective DJ careers. In 2000, Los Angeles-based hiGHBorn Records released The World of Sy & Unknown, a collection of the duo's best tracks.


As a young Portuguese producer, Nuno Lisboa started developing his love for music since a very tender age. He started by producing hip hop but soon he found out his inner love for house music, and when he was 16 he got caught up by hard and groovy beats followed by catchy melodies, commonly known as Dutch House. Although being 17 and still having a long way to go, hard work and dedication are key words for him. Being influenced mostly by Dutch producers and oriental music, Nuno Lisboa always tries to print his ID in the music he makes, keeping it fresh but easily recognizable to listeners.

DJ Nelito  is an aspiring Dutch producer from the Netherlands. Growing up as a child in the simple town of Gorinchem  he was already captured by rhythm and music very early in his life. On the age of only 14 years old he decided to persuade his musical ambitions by the set-up of a small studio, consisting only of a keyboard and a old household computer paid with the money of his summer jobs. He started producing Reggaeton as he was intrigued by Latin America, the Dem-Bow and inspiring Puerto Rican artists. A remarkable album that he considered the guidelines for this genre was the ‘Mas Flow 2’ record. After a deep dive into technical specifics of computers and a crash course in producing he managed to take a step higher by advancing his studio set-up with a better Keyboard,  superior computer and more. The results came quick: his first small project was the sale of multiple beats to the Latin rappers. At this time he swerved in different musical styles for producing, from hip hop to rock. Looking for many diverse challenges he started taking his music more seriously and wanted to level up. He realized that the time he would be putting into music had to be divided  over his school also. As a result many hours where spent in his room with either books or Fruity Loops. A certain call was found in the direction of the ‘Dutch Dirty House’ scene where he could unleash his leipste and most ludacris melodies. At the end of his school year 2010-2011, 18 years old, he succeeded in passing his dutch VWO-diploma and also see his first record being finalized and released at fairly the same time. The track ‘Swedish Girl’ ft. Dwayne is just a simple taste from the variety DJ Nelito musically has to offer and will open doors for more musical surprises and banging sounds.


Dimitri Kechagias review: The previous Attention Seekers single Gypsy Rock was one of the pleasant surprises this summer with feel good vocals and great balkan influenced rythm to dance along. Their brand new pop dance sensation is called simply Dance Dance Dance and is tailor made for the big commercial floors and daytime radio shows. The package of mixes is extensive with variety of absorbing styles. White Noise mix is the big room electro monster track with less vocal and more beat meat. Nuno Lisboa version is deeper groovier more playful mix with big room synthy riff in the breakdown to raise the roofs. Cheeky Trax is the big hard dance style mix that hard dance parties will adore to play. Fat stomping unstopable fun.Nelito adds his dirty dutch fat stomping style with squeeky squashed and squeezed noizes ready for the big rooms. Of course the package includes instrumental versions for those who dont want Niki but this track is all about the vocals in my opinion. Definitely worth to check it out if you love feel good simple and easy to dance to anthems.
