THE GENRE SHOW | DJ Kira

The Genre Show is a result of DjKira's passion for EDM, and all it's many genre's, working on a 'if I like it, I play it' basis. The show is about variety, with guests often stepping outside the box, to bring you something that little bit different. That said, DjKira's main style leans toward the realms of Progressive House & Progressive Breaks - with 'edge'. He mixes on multiple platforms, and as you will find from listening to his sets, there is a great love of the early days of electronica, and he can't resist bringing a rare classic or two in to most of his dj mixes - much to the pleasure of his ever growing fan base. His main influence's in electronic music come from many weekends spent at Bristol's 'Lakota' nightclub. He says "They were the best nights (music & atmosphere wise) that anyone could have experienced in that period of dance club history!" DjKira hopes that you enjoy the musical journeys that he, and his guests, prepare for you!

Ben Coda

Since forming Overcast in 2006, Ben Coda has made a considerable impact on the progressive house scene. From Overcast's dubby, blissed out grooves, to his techier solo work Ben's tracks have become a regular fixture in DJ sets around the globe.

Ben's original tracks and remixes have been released on Method Recordings, Toes in the Sand, Baroque, Dark Pleasure and Polytechnic. He has recently signed to Baroque Recordings for his solo productions, one of the most influential and well respected labels in the scene.

Chris Fortier

While many people may claim to know Chris' sound, with their focus on continually labeling him one thing or another, Chris is equally as focused on his efforts to push back the musical boundaries. It is testament to the man that he continues to develop his sound and musical direction, after all, as the man says himself "I just like to play good underground music, I don't limit myself." It is artists such as Chris Fortier who are inextricably linked to the underground dance music scene that are the genuinely pushing the sound forward. Chris' determination to continue to push the envelope can be seen in all aspects of his career. Proof of this can be found on his recent triple CD compilation Balance and his recent solo production under the 40oz moniker and his stellar debut artist album As Long As The Moment Exits. The Balance CD genuinely offers something exciting and underground to the current stale compilation market. Boasting tracks from across the musical spectrum like David Gilmore Girls, Global Communication and Floppy Sounds through to Slam, Matthew Jonson, Rabbit in the Moon and Bent. It is little wonder the CD was name checked for compilation of the year by numerous international press publications. Under his 40oz production guise Chris has released the several EPs that musically could fit comfortably on labels such as Cocoon, Kompakt or Get Physical. Further remixes of Alexi Delano, Joshua Collins, Lee Burridge, Freaky Chakra and John Selway show Chris' genre defying sound at it's underground best. Taking this a step further in 2007, his debut artist album was released to countless plaudits and impeccable praise. Not satisfied with status quo, look for the boundaries to continue to be pressed and pushed with each coming musical excursion. With a DJ career spanning 15 plus years, he has continually been a crowd favourite, confirmed by his very first residency at the legendary "Aahz" in Orlando through to more recent residencies at The Cross in London and at Twilo in New York. Since a debut European tour in 1997, Chris has gone on to consistently tour the globe behind numerous singles, remixes and no less than 9 mix albums. You can catch him as easily in Tokyo as in Buenos Aires and all points in between on any given weekend. To those that know Fortier's history, they know to expect plenty more to come, for those that are just getting initiated, Welcome
