The DJs behind the sound.
Scotty Boy
Scotty Boy (Scott Schroer) is a Los Angeles-based house DJ/producer with over 25 years in the scene, a longtime Las Vegas resident DJ since the early 2000s. He scored three #1 Billboard Dance hits — 'Shiny Disco Balls' (2014), 'You're Not Alone' (2017) and 'Shine Your Love' (2018) — and from 2016 shifted toward Deep/Jackin' House and Nu Disco/Future House remakes. He also runs LA's 'Deep House Brunch DTLA' party and started DJing at age 14. (Note: this appears to be a US house DJ rather than a UK rave-scene artist.)
Seduction
DJ Seduction (John Kalkan), started 1989 at The Dungeons/Crowland Road and on pirate station Sunrise FM; UK charting hit 'Hardcore Heaven' (1991, ffrr); founded Impact Records and co-created the Hardcore Heaven and United Dance events.
Sharkey
DJ Sharkey (Jonathan Kneath, b. 25 July 1974, Plymouth), started as an MC at 1993 hardcore raves; with Hixxy released 'Toytown' (1995) and launched React's Bonkers compilation series; later coined and pioneered the 'freeform' hardcore genre with Kevin Energy.
Shocka
DJ Shocka started DJing at 15 in a friend's bedroom before playing across the South West UK, known for playing especially heavy tracks. He has held a weekly slot on ukbassradio.com with The HardHittaz Crew, appeared regularly on Impulse Radio, and is affiliated with Neutronic Beats, Dubplate Mafia Recordings, LayLow Recordings and Suspect Militia. (Note: distinct from the unrelated London grime/hip-hop artist and mental health advocate also known as Shocka, Kenneth Erhahon.)
Shy Fx
Shy FX (Andre Williams) is a London jungle and drum & bass pioneer. His 1994 anthem 'Original Nuttah' with UK Apachi became one of jungle's defining records, and he later had chart success with T Power on 'Shake Ur Body' (2002) and founded the Digital Soundboy label. His sets include Pure Science (2000), United Dance 'Y2K' (2000), Kool FM's 6th Birthday (2001), Flashback's 6th Birthday (2002) and Heat's 8th Birthday (2004).
Si Thompson
Si Thompson is a multi-genre UK producer and studio engineer specialising in happy hardcore, jungle and old-skool styles, active with releases on Bandcamp through the 2020s. He launched his own label, Kool Katz Digital, on 17 May 2019.
Simon Bassline Smith
Simon 'Bassline' Smith is a Leicester drum & bass DJ and producer and one half of Drumsound & Bassline Smith. He has been active since the early-90s rave era, including Entropy and Mythology (1992). He went on to play Flashback's 6th Birthday (2002) and Innovation vs Formation's 'South Meets North' (2003), often going back-to-back with Friction.
Simz
Drum & bass DJ who played the D&B rooms at Dizstruxshon's 'Industry' (2003) and 13th Birthday Party (2005), alongside Vorny.
SL2
SL2 were the rave act formed by Slipmatt and Lime, whose 1992 hit 'On A Ragga Tip' reached the UK top three and became one of the definitive breakbeat hardcore anthems, alongside 'DJs Take Control'. Their sets and live PAs in the mix list run from Hit The Decks (1992) to Flashback (2001) and Raindance's 22nd Birthday and Flashback's Farewell Party (2011).
Slam
Slam is the Scottish DJ/production duo Stuart McMillan (born 1966, Glasgow) and Orde Meikle (born 1964, Oxford), childhood friends who began DJing together in the late 1980s, first residency at Glasgow's Fury Murrys ('Black Market' night). They took their name from Phuture's acid house track 'Slam', released their debut 'Eterna' in 1991, and broke through with 1993's 'Positive Education' on Soma Quality Recordings the label they co-founded that same year with Dave Clarke and Glenn Gibbons. Straddling house and techno, they remain key figures in post-rave European dance music, marking 35 years together with a sold-out Glasgow show.
