It's 15 years ago today since Kemistry, one half of pioneering drum & bass partnership Kemistry & Storm, was killed in a freak motor accident.
The pair played an important part in the emergence of drum & bass in the mid-90s — they were the ones who first took Goldie raving, introducing him to the scene and soon becoming DJs themselves.
To readers of a certain age, and those who know their UK rave history, the name Dreamscape will evoke memories of a transitional period between free parties and organised raves. As one of the leading ’90s promoters, Dreamscape put on events across the UK, most notably at the spiritual home of the UK rave scene - The Sanctuary in Milton Keynes.
Since its founding in 1992, RAM Records has rapidly grown to be one of the industry's leading drum & bass labels. Cutting through dance music’s ever-changing fads and flavours with their demonstrative DnB message, they have achieved a rock-solid standing as one of the most important drum & bass labels out there. With over a thousand parties happening throughout MMW – from VIP pool parties to the epic multi-arena beast Ultra – the RAM crew returns to Miami to celebrate the launch of this year's edition of RAMiami.
