-Quality Mark (AKA) Class-A

Having been a huge fan of dance music since the age of 16, it wasn’t long before Mark O’Grady’s (a.k.a. DJ Class-A) collection of nearly 200 mixtapes of DJ’s of all styles of dance music had inspired him into getting decks of his own at the age of 18 in 1993.
Within a few years of moving from Derry to Manchester to go to University, DJ Class-A had played at most of the main clubs in Manchester such as The Music Box (Champion Sounds), Phoenix, Paradise Factory (Storm Fm Launch Party), Joshua Brooks, Generation X/Club Code (Relish), Time (The Brain) / Jam (Homegrown Talent), The Park, The Shed and others. During this time he was also invited to play guest slots on Frontline Fm, a well-known Manchester Pirate Station. He was also involved in the launch of Storm FM - Manchester Student Radio.
In 1997 he was beaten by one point by Si "S-man" Smith, the winner, in the 1997 DJ Culture UK Mixing Championships - held at the G-MEX in Manchester.
He was then awarded the position of Manager of The Bassment Nightclub in Manchester in 1999, where he was also resident DJ, for a year, playing alongside some the finest DJing & MCing talent from Manchester and the UK.
DJ Class-A’s main assets are his ability to read crowd and his versatility as a DJ. Whilst specialising in Drum and Bass & Jungle, he has also been known for playing sets of old skool hardcore and classic house, trance & techno. His passion for drum and bass music especially however, is clearly evident in his energydriven dancefloor orientated sets, in which he likes to incorporate all styles from Liquid to Neurofunk.
DJ Class A has played alongside many top artists in the scene including, Noisia (Vision, Subtitles), Jumpin Jack Frost (Movement), Apex (Lifted etc), Drumsound (Technique rec's), Futurebound (Viper, Metro), Marcus Intalex (Soul R), Calibre (Signature), DJ Flight (1xtra, Play:music), Sappo (1xtra, Advisory Rec's), Muffler (Urban Takeover, Levitated, Sighco Rec's), Zero Tolerance (V Rec's, Bassbin), Beta 2 (Metalheadz, Bassbin), Rohan (Bassbin), [genetix] (Basic Rec's, Secure Rec's) and MC Tonn Piper (Daywalkers, Metropolis) to name a few.
After moving to Dublin, in 2002 DJ Class-A came Runner-Up in a Smirnoff DJ Competition at Solas in Dublin, which was judged by Johnny Moy (Spirit, Spin 1038), DJ Krime (2002 ITF European Scratch Champion, Poland), and Ireland’s own 3 times DMC Champion & World Finalist DJ Tu-ki.
After having played in several Dublin venues, in April 2004 DJ Class-A was given his own weekly Radio Show every Wednesday live from 10.30pm-12.00midnight on Dublin’s Raidio Na Life 106.4FM and worldwide on the internet. On E.S.P. every week you will hear the most upfront drum and bass, with some dubplates, unreleased material and classic old skool thrown in. With updates on gigs going on around the country, and featured guest mixes this is one of Irelands longest running & best FM & Internet Drum and Bass shows. On this show he has showcased guest mixes from some of the finest Irish, UK & International DJ’s, such as DJ Shortee (Playboy’s official tour DJ, USA), HedCase (USA), Mark S (Elevation, Grimetime, Deadly Fusion), Arveene (Nylon, Dublin), Syringe (Resonance, Dublin), Chill (Step DnB, Belfast), Hago (Global Virus, Derry), DJ BPM (Amorphous, London), Bane (Eastern Bloc, Manchester), Xample & Sol (Ram Rec's, L plates, Flex, Metropolis), Affray (L Plates, Gutterfunk, Manchester) and many more.
In 2005 he started his own drum'n'bass event in Dublin, "Resonance", where he is also resident dj playing alongside some of the finest DJ's from Ireland, the U.K & beyond.
In Ireland he has also played and headlined at events from Belfast to Cork, for promoters such as Frequency(Remedy, Dublin), DNB Impact(Cork), Reach (Dublin), Remedy(Soul Food World Beats, Dublin), Going Underground (Killarney), Vertigo(Dublin), Mantua Festival 2007 & 2009(Roscommon), Urban Central(Dublin), Bassick/Sound Koalition(Belfast), Life Festival 2008 & 2009, United Drumz(Dublin), Ignition(Cork), Rebirth(Cork), and Syndrome(Dublin) to name a few. In recent years he has also been booked to play at clubs in the UK & London (The Jamm, Brixton), Spain (Al Final & El Divino) and Canada (Intense NYE, Quebec 2007/08).

-Alien Hand
Dublin-based producer Adam Power has been making electronic bleeps and bloops under the name Alien Hand since he began tinkering with a cracked version of Fruity Loops on a hand-me-down 486 desktop in 1999. His music has been described as “delightfully twisted”, jumping between electro, techno, breakbeat, IDM, drum & bass, breakcore, gabba, noise and ambient, drizzled liberally with acid synths and peppered with absurd samples.
Since 2005, he has appeared on a number of Digital Vomit releases, including their flagship Can Buy Me Love compilations. In 2009 he released Better Late Than Never, a full-length album of his own very Irish take on the breakcore sound. He has produced remixes for ROBOstud, Automatic Tasty, DJ Cattle Hammer and the Shankfist Wreckage Technique, and shared stages and DJ booths with ****mat, C64, the Teknoist, Toecutter, Hardoff and Solypsis.
He is currently sitting on a new album, which he hopes will hatch very soon.
