Artists that have featured on right touch releases.........

Ill Advised

Ill Advised first found hardcore in 1992 at the tender age of 11 via the gift of pirate radio stations.. He was captured by the totally different sounding music as played on stations such as cyndicut FM. From here he made it his mission to find as much of this music as he could!

Forward to 1996 and his first set of decks are now on the scene, jungle is the order of the day and the record collection is kicking off. Until 1998 he is buying mainly jungle/drum and bass and the odd bit of happy hardcore, then his first trip to Pure Science at Atomics in Maidstone turns him into a pure D+B head and it stays that way until 2001 when he feels the music lost the feeling he so much loved.

Where to go now? Back to the old skool! In 2003 he sets himself up a very modest home studio and finds www.backtotheoldskool.com where there are producers making tracks in the old skool style that he loved so much as he was growing up. 'Hardcore Breaks' is now bigger than ever and going from strength to strength. He aims to be part of this amazing scene and to help it grow - cue 'Right Touch Records'......

Aike

Aike first got into the hardcore sound around 89/90 by listening to the Essential Selection on Radoi 1. He then heard a few tunes in this style at a local club and found himself wanting more. Next stop was Distorsionz in 91, a club in Mile End, East London, followed by various bigger raves and illeagal parties. The highlight of these times for him was 'Raindance' - ' Big Bad Head' on new years eve 91/92.

After this Aike felt the music was changing and decided to take a break from it all

He then found himself getting into Drum and Bass and Breaks for a while but found that he did'nt like the way these scenes were progressing and so decided to dig out his old skool hardcore records. Then one day he stumbles across www.backtotheoldskool.com and finds producers writing new tracks with an old skool hardcore feel to them. This made him want to do the same.  He has not looked back and so has been producing tracks in the old skool vein ever since, well his own particular take on the old skool sound anyway!

Prime Movements

Bristol based producer Prime Movements has been into dance music since 1990 and discovered hardcore in the spring of 1991. Aged 13/14 he was too young to attend any of the raves happening at the time but got more and more into the music through swapping tapes with friends at school and listening the various dance music stations of the era.

As the years passed he kept listening to hardcore as well as other genres of music such as house, progressive and trance but after 1994 lost interest slightly and began looking back nostalgically to the golden years of the music, 91 - 93.

He always thought what it would be like to try and recreate early 90's breakbeat but it wasn't until 1999 that he first dabbled in music production. One he had started there was no stopping him! He now has a fair collection of Hardcore breaks tracks that will hopefully be due for release in the near future!

1st Science

Stockholm based techno producer Henrik Helenius aka Henry Burner has been into dance music for the last decade. It started in the early 90's with inspiration form hardcore, Detroit techno and acid house. He recorded his earliest tracks with a friend in 1993 on basic equipment.

Under the guise 'Henry Burner' he has recorded techno, house and electro tracks. His music is not extremely experimental or soundwise ground breaking but deep, hard hitting and instinctive. He played live gigs and DJ sets during 1999 - 2001 in the Stockholm area, collaborated with other artists on various compilations and had air play on national radio techno and house shows.

The 1st Science project was formed in 2004 as a mere nostalgic experiment to revive the 1993 experience when he first encountered the old skool sound.

1st Science has, according to what many people have said, a typical 1991 sound which happens to be his favourite year for the music.
