Spookane’s, love for music started off with an initiation into the hardcore scene, feeling especially moved by the more dusky sound of Darkcore. The harsh industrial sounds drew him in but he soon tired of the four to the floor beats and started mixing Hip-hop.
Structurally compelling though he found it, he longed for the speed and darkness that he had found in Darkcore, before finally discovering Drum and Bass. He fell in love with it, as it combined break beats with up-tempo electronic music, and submerged himself in the genre completely. Soon enough he’d gotten hold of some Darkstep and realized that this had been the reason for his musical quest.
Tunes by prolific producers such as Current Value and Counterstrike inspired him to form a collective of like-minded artists, joining forces to develop and disperse the sound. This paved the way for the birth of his brainchild, Future Sickness records. RDS and Zubcore work with him in managing the label as well as organizing events and filling a weekly slot on leetradio and dnbtv (each first and 3rd thursday of the month), to promote their work. Spookane’s dedication and technical proficiency, which stems from his qualification as a sound engineer, soon turned some heads within local and global scenes. Veterans and young talent from around the globe were signed to the imprint, and the future holds only superlatives for this foursome.
The kick off for the World label tour is due in January 2007. Starting off in Italy, they will be playing sets around the continent, briefly setting foot in places such as Austria, France, Germany, Croatia, Romania to name but a few.

This saturday the crew of youth club KRAK (Avelgem - BE) comes up with another groovy edition of 'TheBrothersGonnaWorkItOut'. Let's groove on Soda'n'Suds, Grapes! ft. Flip Kowlier LIVE, DJ ROM1 aka Mr Explicit and many more!
This wicked party is taking place at the community center of Avelgem (Belgium), on the border of East- and West-Flanders and Hainaut.
i did'nt hear the remix (actually i did'nt even know it existed) but i will sure check it out! most people around here are mostly interested in the happier sido of dnb, with bossa-nova influences and so... i am glad i found yours and other more harsher sounding labels.
