Aquasky started working on music together back in 1995 releasing their music via seminal drum and bass label Moving Shadow. This resulted in further releases on the Reinforced and R&S labels before they were snatched up by Polydor where they released their first album 'Orange Dust' in 1996 which featured Big Shug from the Gangstarr Foundation and the Scratch Perverts.
In 2000 an EP was released on Botchit and Scarper titled 'Sureshot' which was quickly followed by the '777' EP. This release was the first breaks record to have fused drum and bass, old school rave and breakbeat into one mould and subsequently kick-started the 'Bassline Breaks' genre.
In 2004 a sister label to Aquasky’s breaks label Passenger was created to ease the excessive output and tracks being offered to Aquasky. The label was named after one of the scene's biggest and most notorious tracks '777' and has released many acts and tracks over the past few years from acts like Tayo, The Breakfastaz, Baobinga, The Ragga Twins, JDS, Aquasky themselves and Control Z. With close ties and similarities to the Passenger label, 777 tried to incorporate more variation in it's output, a way for it's artists to experiment with their sound.
In 2005 and as a celebration of 10 years of production, Aquasky collaborated with some of breakbeats biggest names to create their 7th long player 'Teamplayers' on their own Passenger label, a huge project which saw the trio collaborate with some of the scenes biggest and baddest names such as FreQ Nasty, Kool Keith, Phil Hartnol from Orbital, DJ Icey, The Autobots and Elhornet of ozzie d&b band Pendulum to name but a few.
As well as global names in dance production, Aquasky also DJ the world over touring America, China, Japan, Russia, Eastern Europe, Asia, Canada and all the countries in Europe many times over during their 12 years together and to assist promoting themselves as DJ's they also run a series of mix albums on Passenger titled 'Breakbeat Bass'.
For 2007 Aquasky plan to drop the most up front breaks LP on Passenger. Titled 'This Way Up' featuring talent from across the globe contributing exclusive tracks. So far the following are on board:
Aquasky, MC Spyda, Nick Thayer, DJ Friction, Phesta, Timmy Schumacher, Kid Blue, Dopamine, Klaus Hill, Rogue Element, Tom Real, Backdraft, Acafool and Rob Le Pitch
With already more breakbeat tracks in the market place than any other producer, Aquasky intend to continue with their mission to rule the world, to bring fun to the dancefloor and a smile to your face. The story is entering it's second chapter...
