More infoDirrrty B
Dirrrty B, real name Michal Ratveisky, started to compose music in the early 90-ties, when he was 14 years old. Hardcore and gabber was popular in his homeland Slovakia (actually it wasn't possible to get a lot of electronic music at that time and it was better than nothing), so his first pieces were in this style. His first 'solo project' at the time was called 'Speed Freak'. There are no albums or singles from this time. (thanx god:)

Both renowned DJs in their home country, the pair who hail from Ostrava, Czech Republic made their names as part of a local crew called Dvoika.Troika.

Philip TBC
Philip T.B.C. is regarded as one of the most gifted DJs coming from the Czech Republic. He is a veteran dance music DJ and he never follows single music genre, but instead his live-act is always a unique blend of drum and bass, dubstep, breaks and downtempo with all kinds of hip-hop techniques such as scratching, beatjuggling or beatcutting. His DJing skills and reputation are indisputable, but his own music production is widely unknown, because there are just few releases under his belt. Philip has been recently back in the studio with fellow Czechs No Money, working on fresh dubstep and dnb material, and some of this new music has been signed to Esprit Records.
