Aquanox

"I was born in 1987, in Budapest. I started music production in 2002. My favourites are mostly underground electronic music, especially the "darker", trancey styles. I started making music with FruityLoops, and though I had a small detour to Reason & Cubase, I still work with FL. Currently I'm working in the Freeform genre. I was greatly influenced by Alek Száhala and the FiNRG group (Pain on Creation, Carbon Based, Re-Form, Dj RX, Proteus) and because of that, I decided to get myself into Freeform.

I use FruityLoops & VSTi's to make my music. Apart from music I'm into dark arts, sci-fi/horror movies and photography.

My favourite music genres (electronic): Hardcore, UK Hardcore, Freeform, Industrial, EBM, DnB, BreakBeat, Hard Trance, Psytrance/Goa, Hardtek, Hard House, Acid.

Non-electronic: Gothic Rock/Metal, Industrial Metal/Rock, Ambient & classical music."

blasterNOX

He was born in 1980 in Budapest and still lives there. He made a good friendship with electronic music even back in his childhood, in the Commodore era. The first musics he got into were the time's game and demo soundtracks. His first idols who he liked in primary school were 2 Unlimited. At this time he started to get into music producing with computers. The first software he worked with was a program called "MOD-Editor", later he used FastTracker2 with his classmates. The first formation he founded was called "Obsessions of Rave". He got the name "Blaster" from his mates at this time (around 1994) by his constant bragging with his new soundcard. The group - due to the lack of success - disbanded after a short time.

In 1993, at the age of 12 he met the rave styles and the first Thunderdome compilations. At this time he started to visit the teen-disco in his neighborhood, until it was closed down. The close of the disco came together with the undergoing of the rave era, which woke a passion inside him: he wanted to have his "own" rave-disco and he wanted to organize own parties. Later only the latter became his only dream. In 1998 he started to bring it into life. In 2002 he started the Neorave party-series, and with it he feels like done what he wanted: constant happy-hardcore parties in Hungary.

Of course, he continued music production in happy hardcore style. He joined Dezigned 4 Ravers in November 2007.
DJ Flatline

He was born on the 23rd March 1986 in Budapest. He always has been interested in music, especially the electronic styles stunned him as a child. Thanks to his parents, he already got to know the works of Kraftwerk at the age of 6, and later around 1994-1996 he got his piece of the time's stomping rave-era - only in a passive way yet. He's been interested in making music from the start, and besides that he liked the way of DJing too. He took up the name Flatline in 2001, which he uses both as a producer and a DJ. His earlier styles can't be described accurately, he started with dance sounds mixed with trance and acid elements.

In 2004 he met the Neorave partyseries organized by blasterNOX, where he has been a resident since 2006. As a DJ, he represents the melodic UK Hardcore style. In 2007 he decided to found an own digital label just for an experiment, to get the hungarian hardcore scene into the european music industry. The project had success: his first digital release, Hit The Roof / Are You Ready? was released in April, 2007. At the time, he founded the new label, titled Dezigned 4 Ravers. Encouraged by the small success, he started gathering talented producers in Hungary, to get their music on worldwide sale.
Futurewave

Futurewave was born in 1984 in Budapest. Besides music he's a qualified electronics engineer.
He's been interested in electronics and music, including their technics since his early childhood. This lead to the fact that he was already into electronic/synthpop music at the age of 3, listening to bands like Alphaville, Tangerine Dream or Kraftwerk.

In 1996 he came across the first hardcore track in his life: 'Crank It Up' by Scooter. Then he decided to follow the path of hardcore music. He started making tracks with the well-known PC software "Fasttracker II". During the first four years of music production he was greatly inspired by the happy rave artists of the mid-90s, e.g. Westbam, Marusha or Ultra-Sonic. This made him produce more melodical tracks and happier atmospheres.

In 1998 he founded the band Hardwavez with his friend Dr. Soma, which lasted until 2004. During those years they made rave tunes mixed with hardcore grooves and drum-n-bass breaks. Later he wrote two albums, 'My Rave Wave' and 'Electric Dreamz'.

He came across the Neorave party series in 2006, and became friends with the organizers very quickly. In the following two years, he graved his name deeply into the hungarian raver scene.

He joined Dezigned 4 Ravers in September 2008, by releasing two of his best tracks, 'Faces' and 'To All Ravers In The World'. His music is definitely a unique thing today: combining state-of-the-art hardware and modern sound techniques, he still represents the structure and atmosphere of the authentic mid-90s happy rave genres.
Protonic

Protonic was born in 1981, and his first musical memories were the hungarian bands LGT, Omega, Illés and the similar bands of the time, who he listened to on old vinyls - definitely as an influence from his parents. His first major change was rap music, which can be rather called as old pop music: Snap!, Dr Alban etc. The weird grooves got his attention quickly, so he wanted to be a drummer. Changing to techno music was quite difficult for him, since he couldn't get on with the 4/4 kickdrums at first, asking "where's the drummer?". He liked the new innovative sounds of electronic music, especially the synth and effects. In this time his favourit was U96 - Love Sees No Colour, and these years he decided to continue in electronic music. He got a 4-octave synth as a present, and started to play his actual favourites on it. After the dancefloor style there was a straight way to raves. Marusha, Westbam, Members Of Mayday, Ultra Sonic, RMB, Dune were his major favourites. The rave era of 94-95 influenced him the most, he really feels sorry about this madness went out after 2 years. When house came up, and the music slowed down, he turned towards hardcore. His style today can be described as a mixture of rave/hardcore. In 1998 he started to write happy hardcore songs with his friend Nightbomber. Their first tune was a remix of Boldog Születésnapot by Halász Judit, a hungarian singer. Since he didn't have a computer at home back then, he wrote the notesheet for his melodies on a square-pattern paper, which he played with his synth, and assigned samples to it on Nightbomber's PC.

He chose the name Protonic in 2000, his first live-act performance was at the sixth RaveLovers event in Pilisborosjeno. Here he met Folli and blasterNOX. They three started the Neorave series, where he still plays his own tracks and remixes. His production gear consists of a Yamaha PSR350 synth, DreamStation, Rb338, Sound Forge, Fruity Loops, Orion, CoolEditPro and ModplugTracker. He performs live with a MIDI-keyboard. His own works appeared on the Atomcsapás compilation vol 2 and 3. Thanks to Hegabox Recordings, his first maxi-cd was released in 2005 with 2 own songs and 3 remixes. He joined Dezigned 4 Ravers in October 2007, and his first digital release (titled Kick Da Nation) was released in December.
