XAMPLE
Having grown up in Bristol Xample has always been surrounded by the sounds of drum and bass and the love of this music lead to him buying his first set of turntables. After relocating to Liverpool, he teamed up with the local dj/producers Sol and Futurebound and became a regular at nights around the North West, playing at some of the best nights in Manchester, Liverpool and Leeds. Around this time, Xample decided he wanted to try his hand at producing and before to long had notched up releases on labels such as Hard leaders, Penny Black and L plates.
In 2005 Xample moved back to Bristol and continued to work hard on shaping his sound, soon attracting interest from Andy C and the rest of the Ram camp, which lead to Xample signing to Frequency for a couple of 12s, before giving Ram his first track, Heaven And Hell, for the well received Dimensions EP, and also on Andy Cs nightlife 3mix CD.
Following the signings of Subfocus and Chase & Status, Ram saw the massive potential of Xample and signed him. His first single for label, Lowdown/The Latter was released in May 2007 to heavy dancefloor exposure and great reviews. Get Out Clause/Infamous - out in December 2008 conforted his status , and the recently released Contra/Keep Their Heads Ringin shows how Xample has blossomed into a first class producer, with his own, unique sound, and will shortly follow his labelmates Chase & Status and Subfocus with working on his debut album.
LOMAX
Hailing from Amersham in Bucks, Nick Hill AKA Lomax has always had a very musical background. A piano player from a young age, and with a degree in music behind him, he was first introduced to drum & bass by the sounds of LTJ Bukem and John B back in 1997, and from then on he began producing in 2000.
As the original member of cult drum and bass collective HoldTight, Nick had several releases on such labels as Industry, Renegade and React to name just a few, Nick has been extremely busy on the production front since 2003, when HoldTights first two tunes, Dirty Habits and 925 were championed by Andy C and licensed for the Nightlife compilation and J Majiks Fabric mix CD. HoldTight were also responsible for the much talked about official D&B remix of Candi Statons dance classic Youve Got The Love, remixing the UK hip hop anthem UK Bubblers by Skitz, Rodney P and Skeme, and also remixing for Hospital Records covering Cyantifics Output. Following HoldTights album release, Lomax spread his wings and went solo, pursuing a more minimal sound.
Having released on Critical, Bingo, Integral and Ram Records (with Xample), and produced one of the tunes of 2007, Artisan on Bounce records, Lomax signed exclusively to Ram Records in 2008 and has since gone to number 1 in the dnb chart with both his releases, including the huge Faith Massive EP. With support and interest from many of the big players in Drum & Bass and Radio 1 DJs, big things are lined up in 2009 with several forthcoming releases and including an album project with Xample.
