One duo that is slowly but surely making their mark on the DnB scene worldwide is known as "Saburuko". Representing Brooklyn, NY, by way of the UK, Russell Knight and Edward Parker are currently signed exclusively to the Horizons Music Group. Having spent their formative years back in their respective homes of Scotland and Wales they take over 2 decades of DJ and production experience to critical acclaim the world over. So far support has come from A-Listers such as Fabio & Grooverider, Doc Scott, DJ Lee, Marcus Intalex, LTJ Bukem, Nookie, DJ Flight, Digital, Amit, D- Bridge, Marky, Artificial Intelligence, Influx UK, Bryan Gee, JJ Frost and Outrage so it's no wonder these guys are being tipped for huge things in 2007 and beyond. With a rich and diverse musical background that is clearly evident in their productions it is claimed the ear they have for melody, mood and atmosphere is not seen in one set group. Evidence of this can be heard in their lead off release on Horizons, the Boro Park EP, featuring 4 tracks ranging in styles it is a perfect primer to the sound that is Saburuko: multi-faceted, deep, emotional and real. Saburuko have also been remixing and collaborating with such names as Insight, Bachelors of Science, Sabre, Hobzee, Soulmatic, Stunna and Amaning to name but a few. This will see releases on Horizons, Crisis and Progress Ltd. 2007 will also see the Horizons "Exclusive" artists release tracks on Future Thinkin and Integral.

Music is her life. Drum and Bass is her passion. Erica Munday, A.K.A. DJ Strife, has had a love for music for as long as she can remember. Strife is known for her Liquid DnB style infused with Braz flavor and her crowd-pleasing track selection. In 2003 Strife got linked up with all female crew Sister NYC (the NYC chapter of successful San Francisco group). Strife has performed at such events as the Detroit Electronic Music Festival, the Winter Music Conference in Miami, the NAMM show in Nashville, TN, Madison Square Garden for product demos, as well as in the UK at renowned monthlies ‘Therapy Sessions’ & ‘Metric’, alongside heavyweights such as High Contrast, Bad Company, Dylan, Loxy, & B Key, and recently in Sao Paulo and Salvador, Brazil with Patife, Dj Andy and Drumagick. Hosting and playing at events all the way from New York to Miami to Brazil to Germany to London and back again, Strife continues to push the Drum and Bass sound that she strives for everyone to hear and feel.

Dave has preformed live in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, and Puerto Rico while having the honor of playing alongside major names in DnB including Calibre, London Elektricity, High Contrast and many more. In 2006 Dave launched Driven AM, the NYC based Artist Management and promotion company which handles bookings for some of the East Coast's most respected and talented Dj’s and producers.
