Drum & Bass is a culture with one eye fixated on the future. To achieve longevity within the scene a DJ must stay two steps ahead of the general public. The arsenal needed to achieve this task comes in the form of exclusive tunes and an acute ear for "the next sound". Since 1991 DJ Fury has not only met, but surpassed all these criteria.

Steve Blakley began the metamorphosis into his moniker of DJ Fury while snow boarding professionally in the early nineties. It was during this time that Blakley attended his first few raves and was introduced to DJ culture. Reluctant to assume the role of spectator Blakley soon purchased turntables and unknowingly took the first step of his new career. By 1992 Blakley had begun to play the sound of hardcore U.K. breakbeats at events around the Denver area under the guise of DJ Fury. By the next year this sound had began to transform into an early prototype of what would be known as Jungle. Fury shifted with the new sound seamlessly.

From this point forth the Denver Jungle scene snowballed along with Fury's DJ career. The year of 1995 saw the birth of the notorious Rewind series by Lowerworld which catered purely to up front Jungle. These events began to receive attention nationwide thus providing a huge stepping stone in Fury's career. Slowly but surely his reputation of providing the best tunes with flawless mixing began to spread from city to city. From there, Fury continued to expand his growing fan base by maintaining a rigorous DJ schedule rinsing out cities such as Los Angeles, Washington DC, Seattle, San Francisco, and many others. Despite this intense travel itinerary Fury still manages to hold it down in Denver by throwing Reload events and co-hosting Denver's premier bass driven night "Gravity Fridays" at Beta Nightclub.

Currently Fury designs for and runs the internationally acclaimed graphic design company, The Firm Graphics, in between his DJing and event promotions. He is a resident for Bassrush, Insomniac's bass division, and the Reload events are still running strong. You can catch Fury at many of the nation's largest festivals like Electric Daisy Carnival & USC Events in Seattle, as well as some of the top nightclubs. One thing is for sure - you can always count on some 180 BPM dance floor smashing drum and bass whenever he hits the stage.

Two years later, along with a few like-minded individuals, he set to creating the soundtrack to Seattle's underground. Running 11 years, Onset became an internationally renowned weekly and a required US stop for international DNB talent. It was also the home base from which Grym showcased his signature darkside sound. Rinsing everything from dance floor pleasers to heady unreleased dubs, Grym has become one of Seattle's most sought after dnb jocks. Forging strong alliances and playing host to some of the most talented producers in the world, Grym felt the need to create an outlet for the influx of unreleased music at his disposal. Onset Audio was born and has developed into a successful digital label, featuring the best in dark bass music. With the label in full swing, a slew of projects slated for release, and an arsenal of the latest dubs in his hands, Grym has cemented his spot as one of the underground's most distinguished players. Relocating to Denver CO in 2013, Grym joined the ranks of the city's premier DNB crew, Recon, and holds a residency at Beatport's Beta Nightculb, Rolling Stone's #1 club of 2013.

Sureshot was a cocky Corellian with a wry wit, a reckless disposition, and technological savvy, who began his career as a smuggler. Sureshot went through several employers, had a short military career, met and befriended Chewbacca, and upset enough sentients to have several bounties placed on his head before becoming swept up into the Galactic Civil War against his own wishes. Never intending to stay, Sureshot left the Rebel Alliance after receiving pay for the rescue of Princess Leia Organa, but returned soon afterward to play a part in the Battle of Yavin. Sureshot later became a general in the Alliance, leading a Rebel strike team in the Battle of Endor, and eventually married Leia Organa, who became the mother of his three children, Jaina, Jacen and Anakin.
