Breaking through on Ram's sister label Frequency in 2003, Nick Douwma has proceeded to blaze a trial through drum & bass and beyond. Every inch a live showman as much as he is a DJ and creative producer, his performances are a technical feat comprising many bespoke instruments that no other artist has.

Award-winning duo from the UK and Norway, Calyx & TeeBee both carved their own distinct sounds as solo artists before joining forces in 2004. Two albums, many singles and one exclusive deal with Ram Records late and they're regarded as one of the best partnerships in drum & bass. Their early work inspired Noisia to produce and their six-deck-two-mixer shows are the stuff of scene legend. Serious D&B soldiers.

Masters of the 130 bass sound, Bristol-based duo Tommy and Jammo peddle an instantly distinctive dark groove that resonates with all corners. Launching on Mindstep Records in 2011, they've gone on to demonstrate their skills on labels such as Ram, 877 and, most recently, Black Butter who've signed them exclusively.
