And.id is the capable moniker of Andreas Dimitriadis, one of Mobilee's fresh and exciting roster members. His tracks are comprised of clean, interesting, lush and engaging techno, with a blend of futuristic percussion and floaty pads. He is a relative newcomer to the scene but has already released several promising eps and remixes on Thinner, Ware, Noodles recording and of course, Mobilee. Andreas was nice enough to record a recent, completely original, live exclusive performance for FWD.dj.

Tuomas Salmela, aka, Phonogenic is generally regarded as one of Finland's finer electronic dance music producers.  His tracks, a professional medley of unconventional synthesizers and unique, well edited drum samples, have received plays and prestigious acknowledgments from some of the finest international DJs. (Including Dubfire, Sven Vath, John Digweed, etc)

Fine Cut Bodies is the moniker of one Attila Fodor, or as he's known to his friends: Kevin. Kevin's diverse track record covers a wide range of EDM from minimal techno, to tech house, to broken beat to breaks. In 2004 he won the title of "Best Hungarian Breaks DJ" for the massively popular Hungarian magazine: Impulsecreator. The good sir also co founded the high quality label, Chi Recordings which he uses to showcase his own eclectic and well developed sound. The label's latest release by Myroslaw Bytz (w/ the FCB remix on the flip) has received support from Mylo, Tom Baker, Murray Richardson, Nils Noa, Audio Soul Project, Laurent Garnier, Hybrid, Luke Solomon, Habersham, Riva Star, Dark Globe, Phonogenic and your truly at Fwd.dj. While still somewhat of a fresh face to the international scene, Kevin is in high demand as a laptop artist and spends much of his time touring Europe. This is, of course, when he's not providing exclusive mixes and interviews for certain obscure EDM websites…

As a DJ, his style has been described as "intelligent and optimistic", and he places special emphasis on mixing up older tracks with more recent records.

Known for his quirky and groove laden tech house sound, Mnookin's mixes are regarded as a special, all-business/no fluff treat for many.

Adultnapper is the moniker of one Francis Harris, a veteran to the dance music scene and the production artist behind enough records to sink a naval destroyer.
