Riva Starr aka Stefano Miele is the London living, Naples born dj and producer that made superstar waves just 2 years ago when he was signed to Claude Von Strokes Dirty Bird label. Making music for over 10 years under various guises, he earned prolific attention as a blogger and bootlegger- giving his passion-made music away for free online, which set the world's ears wagging. "I moved to London from Italy because the Italian scene was a bit slow for my liking and I wanted to speed up my career," he tells me over a late afternoon phone call. "London is great, although at the moment there are a lot of changes going on in the club scene, but musically it's the place to be- it's where things are happening."

After 15-plus years of definitive Big Beat mayhem, the Chems return with an album that takes a left turn into just the right territory...
Retaining signature Chemical bravura and the 'ol Up-crescendo/Down-splashfzz that keeps fans hooked and seduces casual listeners, new album 'Further' frees the digital siblings from their usual guest-draped song structures, into an autonomous galaxy where tracks aren't air-sculpted to fit the frame of selected lips, but follow the intuitive muse of 'where the sound beckons we shall go...'

Sasha came into being during the era of Manchester's iconic Hacienda days. Pioneering the Northern Soul sound and jumping head first into the Acid House movement, he transformed The DJ Life as we know it today with a relentless progressive grace and a partner-in-crime-called Digweed. One would think the man who gave Renaissance Recordings gold status and Global Underground it's 90's cool would be too big to tweet, but that's exactly where our banter kicks off, after catching wind of a live Twitter interview with one of Ibiza's well known bloggers the day before we chat.

Dino is a legendary fixture on the South African dance music circuit and far from being quiet of late he's been playing the game on a much larger stage; producing and showcasing his music project Afroteq, a culmination of his 19 years in the industry and a celebration of all things awesome about being African. "Afroteq is such an exciting project; our show is a collage of traditional and famous African songs, and original new tracks sung to an up-beat house and techno set, combined with dancing, drummers and mind blowing visuals," he explains.

10 years in any business, especially when you're an independent is a long time, but in the music biz it's an entire lifetime and generally defies the odds. Multi-racial Records though, founded in 1999, have never concerned themselves with the norm, or with weighing up the odds, opting to simply focus on what they love and do best - spreading the gospel of high quality dance music - urban, deep and soulful!
