Zion Train are Dub/Dance pioneers and have been undisputed leaders in the genre for more than 15 years. The band have been heavily involved in alternative and DIY underground culture since the 90s as well as being purveyors of the finest Roots Reggae music throughout this period. They are one of the finest live dub acts in the world and promoted the practice of dynamic onstage dub mixing which they perform alongside acoustic instruments and the best live vocalists.

Zion Train was founded by Perch (live dub mixing/production), in 1990 and he was later joined by Cod (melodica/production), Tench (production), Molara (voice), Hake (trumpet), and Forkbeard (trombone). Between 2001 and 2005 Dubdadda added extra live vocals and Bigga replaced Forkbeard on trombone in 2001. The live line-up has always been very flexible, varying from Perch and a vocalist for sound-system gigs, to the full lineup for larger events. From 2006 Molara concentrated on her solo projects and Zion Train live features a variety of renowned vocalists including Dubdadda and Earl 16 alongside Marlene Johnoson, and YT.

Zion Train have been one of the planet’s most prolific groups, along with a mammoth recorded output and innumerable production credits, remixes and song writing collaborations they have produced magazines, CD-ROMs, Internet sites and built sound systems. Their early releases were on their own Universal Egg label, until in 1995 they signed to China Records. They released the world’s first promotional dub music video for the ‘Get Ready’ single and caused a furore with the publicity campaign for their ‘Homegrown Fantasy’ album.

Back on their own Universal Egg label since 1999, they have continued to release quality dub, electronica and world dance music. Their work from the past decade and a half still sounds fresh to today’s discerning ears.

2005 saw the reissue of the bands seminal and long unavailable first and second albums; ‘A Passage To Indica’ and ‘Natural Wonders Of The World In Dub’ remastered and redesigned. 2006 saw the re-release of the third album ‘Siren’, which was thought by many to herald the birth of the dub-dance vibe that swept the globe in the 1990s. A new album entitled ‘Live As One’ was released in September 2007 to great critical acclaim and was showcased in a 20 nation world tour. A ‘Live As One’ remix album is the next project that the train are embarking upon – watch this space.

Sharps began making music as a child by experimenting with cheap keyboards, casette tape and broken machines. Today his music has evolved into a hitech bass music for size large sound systems. His productions are driven by the need for massive tracks that rock dance floors and push the boundaries of genre and style.

Having cut his teeth early on listening to the adventurous music of Aphex Twin and Autechre, Sharps learned the value of doing things differently, yet recognizes the excitement and energy that comes when people gather together to wash their souls in bass. Sharps draws his influences from many facets, but counts the glitch sound, dubstep, miami bass, breakbeat and random dance music among his top sources of inspiration.

Although he is at the beginning of his journey through dance music, his productions have already caught the attention from top artists and DJs from both sides of the pond including Si Begg, Mat the Alien and Bassnectar. Other accolades include a national Canadian award for composition in 2002, and top reviews for his tracks on www.nuskoolbreaks.co.uk.

Sharps comes from Western Canada, a land of legendary sound systems and forest parties, and has been involved with the undergound music culture in the area since 1995. Co-owner and manager of Saedos Records, Sharps continues to develop the label, bringing outstanding tracks to the world.

Martello is a 26 year old Estonian writer and music producer with 8 years experience. He is an electrical engineer by trade, music producing and music itself is his hobby and love.

He began by messing with tracker type programs like ModPlug tracker and similar. 2 years ago he discovered sequencer type programs and currently uses Cubase 4. His music is 100 % software and samples. He loves playing with soft-synths’ different features and feels like crazy scientist in another era!

He sums up his style with 3 simple words – electronic dance music. He most loves deep house, dubstep, old school jungle and also modern dance/club music sounds. All these styles influence his music. When he was 6 years old he found his father’s old broken tape-recorder, got it fixed, and found some old tapes by Whitney Houston. This was Martello gone – the music captured him.

Martello says signing with Mai Plues is his first official milestone. His music has also been broadcast several times on Estonian radio station Radio 2.

High Rankin has always been a man to set a scene with his music. Fond of cinematic intros, often recording himself for dramatic effect, not afraid to work against the grain.

His tracks are full of character; he aims to make records that stand out from the current crop of formulaic beat and bass rendering.

Based in Brighton, High Rankin started ‘Molten Vinyl Recordings’ in 2004 as a platform to release locally produced Drum’n’Bass. In 2006 he started ‘Suicide Watch’ to push a much harder Drum’n’Bass sound. 2008 saw the birth of ‘Suicide Dub’ as a sister label to Suicide Watch – a digital label for the biggest and baddest dubstepz around.

All labels are going strong and released tracks by artists from around the world.
Publishing for all labels is handled by Mai Plues.
