The DJs behind the sound.
Stompy
Happy hardcore and UK hardcore DJ heard at Slammin Vinyl (1997) and United Dance (1999), and on United Dance's 'End Of An Era' pack (2003).
Storm
Storm (Jayne Conneely) grew up in Kettering, East Midlands, and met Kemistry (Valerie 'Kemi' Olusanya) in college; Kemistry introduced her to pirate radio and rave, and the pair moved to London together, becoming fixtures on the dancefloor at Rage. They bought their first decks together in October 1991 and, with Goldie, founded Metalheadz in 1994 as the duo Kemistry & Storm — among the first women DJs to have a widely distributed mix album (DJ-Kicks: Kemistry & Storm, 1999). After Kemistry's death in a car accident in April 1999, Storm continued solo, drawing on their shared record collection, and in 2004 helped launch the monthly Feline night at London's Herbal club. She remains a hugely influential drum & bass DJ known for tight mixing and an exclusive selection.
