A Word From Dan


This week in review:
Well, another terror threat, we`re all on high alert, and gas prices are through the roof. This year it`s actually cheaper to fly to miami. Snowmen are blooming on every corner, and that cold weather just creeps under your skin.
Is it time to plunge into the depths of despair??? Naaaaaaah!
This week we`ve got double the amount of shows for you, double the amount of guests and double the amount of parties. And the best part is, of course, it`s all free!
So whether you are outside shoveling the snow, filing up your tax papers, or just bumming around at home, take a minute to relax, grab a cold one (er, maybe a cup of tea then), sit back, and listen to some of today`s finest underground talents right from inside your computer.
DSR standing ovation goes to DJ Nick Matthews for his kind support and interest in our station; Nick, plane ticket`s on the way. Come and rock our decks!!!
Special thanks to Stephanie from VA (CD is on the way), Robbinsent.com, Diane Bettigole, Vicci Whitlow, Lisa Mattiocco, KillaKoala (love the name), and all our groupies from Berlin.
As always,
Keep em dancin.

Dan Bino.

Kinky Productions presents:
Rulers Of The Deep













Kinky Productions with Rulers Of The Deep.
Rulers of the Deep a.k.a. The Vibe Residents are a DJ/Production/Remix duo comprised of DJ Meri and P. Julm from Estonia.
The two met in 1998 when they were chosen to become the resident DJs for the most talked about event in Estonia "`VIBE".
The duo, became known under the moniker "THE VIBE RESIDENTS", providing a classic in the making.
When the two came together to remix KOT's "Finally" their talent soon became surprisingly noticed by the likes of Seamus Haji and Simon Dunmore (Defected), Roger Sanchez, and Josh Wink. They then remixed ATFC "Sleep Talk" that rose to no.1 on the UK charts.
Their dedication to DJ Dozia "Track One" (inspired by one of his guest spots to Vibe) was signed to Ovum recordings and lead to a remix of the new SNS Project "Get Up". After their remix of SerJaye "Mahal Kita" (Neat Music UK) they decided to collaborate with "DragonFly" the vocalist from the track. Being no stranger to Roger Sanchez, Vibe Residents already had "Make it Funky" signed but, it was to the Rulers surprise that the track they would make with DragonFly, "Temptation" (a track that was done in 3 days), would be signed within seconds of hearing it to Roger Sanchez. "Temptation" will be the first release on Roger Sanchez new record label Stealth based in the UK September 2002.

Other remixes under their belt are chart topping Shakedown "At Night", IL Padrinos feat Jocelyn Brown "That's how good your love is", & Mambana "No Reason". Also scheduled for release in October a track that will set the name Rulers of the Deep aside from your average producers "Dirty Grooves" Ovum which has caught the attention of David Alvarado who has remixed the single. The duo now intend to work on 3 new tracks with Dragonfly, full-length albums for Stealth and Defected and are negotiating an album deal with Ovum Recordings. Their sound ranges from Deep to Tribal and Dark.
Rulers of the Deep also host the official Friday night mix-show for "VIBE" called "VIBE FM". VIBE FM is a music showcase transmitted live on the National station "Raadio 2" (101.6 Mhz). The station covers Estonia, part of Russia, and part of Finland. VIBE FM reports its charts to WWW.VIBE.EE!
