Afrojack
Nick van de Wall, now know as Afrojack, started playing with music at age 11. He began by using the program Fruity Loops, which he continues to use to this day. After working hard to become known by some of he top people in music like David Guetta, his talent has skyrocketed him to the top of music charts with hits like “Take Over Control”. This Dutch House champion has certainly made his way in music and become a top heavy hitter in the music and producing scene.

Caspa
One of the top names in Dubstep, Caspa is one busy man. Running three labels, producing huge hits, running a bi-monthly night at Fabric, and still finding the time to tour the world, we can certainly call him a magician of music. Hailing from London his label Dub Police is the platform that spread Dubstep to the world.

Ellie Goulding
This guitar-playing chick began writing songs at the age of fourteen. Growing up in a small town, she is now ways away from the low-key life she led before music fame. Her just released “Your Song” single is topping the music charts and causing major hype for her upcoming album “Bright Lights”. She was just recently nominated for Best Breakthrough Act at the Brit Awards.

Plan B
Mixing soul and hip-hop Ben Drew has created a music genre all his own. He grew up in London loving Motown and R&B, singing love songs, and playing guitar. He then became interested in rap and tried his hand at that. His bad boy lyrics got him major exposure on his first album  ‘Who Needs Action When You Got Words’. His most recent album ‘The Defamation of Strickland Banks’ is Motown mixed up, taking heart wrenching love songs and giving them an East London grim spin.

Paul Van Dyk
PVD grew up in East Berlin, Germany. A top name in electronic music, he has been nominated for Grammys and won four IDMAs. He is best known for his album, ‘Reflections’ and his work on major artists songs like Justin Timberlake’s “What Goes Around” and Britney Spears’ “Gimme More”.

The Felice Brothers
made up of three brothers and their two friends, this country band comes to us from the Catskill Mountains. Their album ‘Yonder From the Clock’ is set to release April 7th.

Tame Impala
They are a group of Australian rockers who create music to move your body to. Termed “hypno-groove melodic” rock, their music delivers sounds like that of The Beatles. Their releases include ‘Inner Speaker’, ‘Solitude is Blidd’, ‘Tame Impala EP’, and H.I.T.S. Vinyl.

Warpaint
Warpaint is four girls from Los Angeles. Emily Kokal, Theresa Wayman, Jenny Lee Lindberg, and Stella Mozgawa who use guitars, vocals, and punk sounds to create hits like ‘Exquisite Corpse’. Their full debut album is due out later this year.

Thunderball

ESL record label gives us these three drum and bass artists. Rob Myers, Steve Raskin, Sid Barcelona are from Washington, D.C. Their latest album, 12 Mile High was released November of 2010.

Trentemoller
Anders Trentemoller is a Danish producer and instrumentalist of electronic music. Based in Copenhagen, he is best known for his album The Last Resort, The Trentemoller Chronicles, and most recently The Great Wide Yonder, which carries a more indie rock sound. He is well known for his live performances, which feature unique visual effects.
