of Aquasky (Dj Set )

AQUASKY... THE HISTORY

Aquasky are from Bournemouth, UK. They started their career in 1995 when they were signed to Moving Shadow Records for a 3 record deal on the back of their massively successful 'Dezires/Images' single which was remixed by DJ Krust.

But before then they individually had success under their individual projects. Dave Wallace was known for his early jungle tunes as Rave Doctor/Fugative on Underdog Recordings. Keiron Bailey for his Artinis/New Vision work also on drum and bass label Underdog and Brent Newitt for his hip hop releases as Jaziac Sunflowers on Bob Jones' Black on Black label.

In 1996 Aquasky signed to Polydor/Polygram where they recorded the Orange Dust LP. This contained the singles 'Raw Skillz (Featuring Big Kwam and the first ever Scratch Perverts adventure onto vinyl) and the drum and bass track Opaque which made an appearance in the UK national charts. Also on the LP was the hip hop track 'Rough' featuring Big Shug from the Gangstarr Foundation

Whilst signed to Polydor the trio also released on Reinforced Records (Concrete Boom EP) and R&S (Dave Wallace under his own name with the 'Future Realties' single and Keiron and Brent worked as Skin Divers where 2 singles were released) and Dave put out the Soul Motive EP on Nuphonic Records.

In 1999 Aquasky returned to their drum and bass birthplace Moving Shadow where they recorded 2 LP's 'Bodyshock' and 'Aftershock'. Bodyshock contained drum and bass tracks such as 'Sonix' and 'Battlestar' and a funky breakbeat number titled 'Blue Thunder' that was made world famous when it was featured on the first Tony Hawk game. The Aftershock album was the first time that Aquasky ventured into breakbeat back in 2000. This was a remix LP containing mixes by London Electricity, Adam Freeland (his first ever venture onto vinyl) and Aquasky themselves.

A series of 12"s also came out on Moving Shadow during the years 1999-2002. These included tracks such as 'The Stalker', 'Bulletproof' (which was remixed by Higher Sense out of the RAM crew), 'Spectre', 'Subdivison' and 'Nightvision'.

Aquasky are also all accomplished DJ's and have travelled the world many times exciting clubs and festivals with their broad approach to music and a good ear for a bit of bass. This has assisted them in establishing their own labels 777 and Passenger for the heavy bass breaks.
Releasing their own tunes and also some of the best breaks producers like Backdraft, Baitercell and Schmacher, Breakfastaz, Freestylers, BLIM and Oris Jay to name a few. Sonix and Incident are the two drum and bass labels run by Aquasky again with a long and varied catalogue. Incident focuses on the more liquid musical style (Calibre, Aquasky, Mathematics) whilst Sonix is all out club smash up material (Simon Bassline Smith, Technical Itch and Aquasky).
