X-Press 2 were one of the principal house acts in the early '90s, rocking the floors with cuts like post-hardcore progressive house cut 'Muzik Xpress' — with its memorable “Music, music, music” refrain — and the cowbell-tastic 'London Xpress'.

Manchester duo Rae & Christian spearheaded the soul/funk-hop scene of the late '90s. Their Grand Central label released great music by Aim (including chill-out classic ‘Cold Water Music’), Riton, Boca 45 and more, not to mention their own superb two albums. 
‘Northern Sulphuric Soul’ — their fantastic debut opus of sunshine soul grooves and dope beats, which was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize — and follow-up ‘Sleepwalking’ in 2002 featured guests such as Bobby Womack, Jeru the Damaja, The Pharcyde and the Jungle Brothers.

Native Instruments make cool DJ gear, simple as that. Their Traktor software has been one of the industry standards for an age. Their X1 controller was a game changer, followed up by the S4, S2, and F1 controllers — all great products that were intended to make performing and the DJ's life so much easier. They put performance back into the market place when the scene was on the verge of digital DJing boredom.
