Dynamo Productions is Andy Smith and Scott Hendy, whose first LP 'Analogue' came out on Illicit Records (UK), Unique Records (Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Austria), and Invada Records (Australia). Scott and Andy's shared love of funk and hip-hop is what first brought them together and saw Andy DJing at Scott's club night Home Cooking.
Growing up in Portishead, Andy met Geoff Barrow who was later to head the band that put the place on the map. Andy became Portishead's Tour DJ where his eclectic style was perfectly showcased on the band's 1995 and 1998 world tours and he's been in constant demand in clubs across the globe ever since.
Andy's much talked about radio appearances on the BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix and Boston radio station WFNX, secured him a deal to release his own DJ mix album in 1998 called The Document (Go Beat/London). It mirrored Andy's club sets, blending hip-hop, soundtracks and funky rock and sold more than 100,000 copies. Volume II of The Document is out on Illicit Records next April.
While Andy's career went from strength to strength, Scott too had been busy touring with Bristol band Purple Penguin, DJing with John Stapleton (Dope on Plastic), producing much talked about mix CDs on Cup of Tea Records, as well as tracks on Hombre Records and Superslick Stereo Sounds as Boca 45.
Scott went on to support Andy on tours around the world, securing their DJ partnership as Dynamo Productions. On its release, Dynamo Production's debut EP Showtime Volume I flew to number 4 of DJ Magazine's respected Breaks and Beats charts, gaining critical acclaim and generating a worldwide tour.
Their success resulted in tracks being licensed to Deadly Avenger's Fabric Live CD, The Battle of The Year LP (DefJam Europe), Unique Club Culture LP (Unique) and Freddy Fresh's label Howlin' Records.
They went on to release an LP of remixes, 'Get It together' in 2004.
They plan to get together soon to work on new tracks.

Kurzgesagt: Das beste, was es DJ-mässig in Sachen Breakbeat so gibt !!!
Die Story klingt unglaublich, ist aber tatsächlich wahr: Zum ersten mal überhaupt an den Decks stand Krafty im zarten Alter von 16 Jahren bei einem DJ Contest. Eigentlich als Scherz, aber aus Spaß wurde schnell Ernst als er es auf Anhieb bis ins Finale schaffte - a born DJ !!! Kurz darauf wurde er von keinem geringeren als FATBOY SLIM entdeckt, der ihn noch heute ehrfürchtig als seinen absoluten Lieblings DJ bezeichnet. Bereits seine ersten Produktionen schlugen gleich so mächtig ein, dass sie heute zu den wenigen Klassikern gehören die wirklich jeder Breakbeat DJ in seinem Regal stehen hat. Naja, und der Rest ich Geschichte... Seine Sets sind jedes mal eine Offenbarung, das perfekte Mittel aus Elektro, Breaks, HipHop & DrumŽnŽBass und das absolute Maximum was an technischer Perfektion machbar ist !!! So steht er nun schon seit mehreren Dekaden an der Spitze einer weltweiten Bewegung... THE KING OF BREAKS!
