Alican Yuksel & Soner Ince, from Istanbul/Turkey, got into the electronic dance since 2000, producing drum and bass and breaks tunes from their basement. Some of their early influences were legendary Essex group The Prodigy, Sasha, Nick Warren & Dave Seaman, among others. In 2003 they had a chance to meet Murat Uncuoglu, arguably Turkey's strongest dj and producer. They gave him some of their music, he thoroughly enjoyed it, citing them as among some of the strongest new talents around the Turkish electronica scene, and eventually they got to work together in the studio, helping them hone in and develop their sound.

They signed their first records in 2004 to the likes of Dub Coast, Blue-Room Records, & Toes In The Sand Recordings. Furthermore, they have remixed 2 tracks for Murat Uncuoglu on his EP for Blue-Room Records, which saw enormous support from John Digweed on his Kiss FM radio show, Hernan Cattaneo at Creamfields, Sasha, Nick Warren, and countless others. As well they recently did collaborative work with Murat Uncuoglu on a track titled, "Murat Uncu meets Alican & Soner - Beyond Dreams". This wound up on MV's label, Tao Recordings, and was licensed to G-Pal & Anna Maria X's compilation, "Back 2 Back Sessions" from Swift Records. A more recent remix they have done for Spleen Records, by Jay West called, "The Way You Walk" gained large support from the likes of all the progressive badboys, including Hernan Cattaneo, Nick Warren, Anthony Pappa, etc.

(A guy who purchased my cdj and heard his sample mix. The mix was groovin' so I asked him to make a mix for the show. Hope you guys enjoy his sound. - DJ IM)

From the sun-drenched beaches of Miami, Charlie Rich's musical career started from admirably humble beginnings, playing upbeat trance at small house parties throughout the city.

After moving to Italy in 2003, Charlie Rich was heavily influenced by the new sounds coming from the underground clubs of Europe. Unhappy with the stagnation of trance, he underwent a drastic musical metamorphosis, re-shaping his style to the cutting edge of the scene. His current sound is an exotic blend of acid, tech, and minimal house which combines dark bass and sexy beats along with mesmerizing synths and furious breakdowns.

Charlie has a knack for finding the biggest tunes before they break. His passion for the scene, love of the music, and flawless DJing skills have earned him a small but dedicated following which continues to expand year after year. Now, Charlie brings his Miami/Euro vibe and energy to Honolulu and continues his rise. In addition to DJing, Charlie is producing and working on opening his own record label in the near future. He records a fresh demo disc every month packed with storming new tunes.
