DJ B-12 got into oldskool back on Long Island, New York (50 miles east of New York City) back in the early 90's and started DJing in the mid 90's. He started his mission of online DJing back in early 2003 on Break Pirates. He was one of the first American DJs to play oldskool hardcore and jungle online. The Stress Factor website was born shortly after that in late 2003, early 2004. He now does a regular Sunday program here on Stress Factor on Sundays called "Stressless Sunday" from 6-8pm GMT or 1-3pm EST, showcasing various oldskool styles from mainly 1991-1994.

Conduktor might be the young buck of this server, but by no means is he a new face to the EDM scene. Since the age of 12, Chris has been deeply rooted into all forms of EDM music. Growing up in New Jersey (15 minutes south of NYC) the music scene was prime for his musical development. Frequently visiting clubs in New Jersey and New York city he always looked up to the DJ's as gods of music and atmospheric control.
Being the club kid that he was, when moving to Maryland in early 2007, he met an amazing underground rave scene, with DJ's that later became like brothers to him. From that point on Chris was constantly surrounded by awesome DJs and one hell of a scene. At this point Chris was now living with DJ Gringo, a fellow NJ head who was in the area, and was constantly setting up equipment, and studying every move that his new friends made while playing.
One morning in December of 2007 after coming home from a Dieselboy show in Baltimore, Chris had his first chance to step up to the decks. With all eyes on him, and to the amazement of the entire Booty Basics crew, about 4 tunes in, He was beatmatching.. Now lets just say it wasn't anything super great... But the decks came naturally to him. With the crew leader DJ Donkey punch in approval, he gave Chris 1 month to buy wax, practice and then play his first club (Spy club in Harrisburg PA). From that day forth, Chris Leone would be known as DJ ConduKtor.
Now 23 years old, ConduKtor has played in city's all up and down the east coast, and as far west as Houston Texas. Teamed up with Booty Basics, and Cynamatik Productions, ConduKtor pressed forward constantly honing his skills, and diversifying his musical taste. Expect to see some big things from this kid, because he is only progressing, going new places, and nothing will stand in his way!
ConduKtor plays a mixture of progressive house, electro, techno and breaks. You can catch him on the air when the station's free at odd hours or catch his FOUR weekly shows:

Ste-J has been into music from a very early age, listening to his Dads LP’s from the age of four. He got his first Rave Tape in 1990 and was instantly hooked. After collecting dozens of tapes and regularly attending raves, it was after going to Dance Planet ‘The Detonator” he decided to start collecting vinyl. “That night blew me away, and I knew I had to start buying tunes after that. I got my first pair of decks in the summer of 93. A friend of mine had decks and a sick record collection so I learned from him really.”
Steve spent 1994 immersed in the scene. Attending lots of all-nighters and hitting the record shop every weekend buying his tunes from non other than Futurebound at Unity in Liverpool. “Brendan was amazing, he knew what tunes you wanted. I still bump into him now and again at Liverpool matches.” But Steve was obsessed with the more intelligent sounds of Photek and Metalheadz. “Doc Scott and Top Buzz were still top drawer that year, but the scene split with DNB, happy hardcore and ragga jungle. And from 95-96 fewer producers were making tunes that I liked, although Source Direct and Metalheadz were still doing it. The only alternative for me was the sounds coming from Good Looking, but the scene had definitely lost its rough, ravey edge to it. The parties I was playing at whilst I was at University preferred the soulful GLO and Creative Source sound, it was definitely going soft.” In 1998 Steve decided it was time to sell the decks and put the tunes in the loft. “I still loved the music but having my own place, I couldn’t afford to be down the record shop every week, something had to give.”
Queue the renaissance. In 2001, in his first marital home, things took a twist. “I was still obsessed with old school DNB, I walked my dog twice a day listening to Scotty or Top Buzz on my walkman. Then in the same week, my mum phoned me up to say she’d found a load of my (presumed lost) vinyl’s as she was having a clearout. And then my sister-in-laws fella, SF’s very own Craig Callaghan announced he was upgrading to 1210’s and do I want his old belt drives. I thought why not, just to give my lost vinyl’s an airing.” It was if Steve had never gave up and within 6 months he got a fresh pair of 1210’s and was banging out the mixtapes again, albeit on CD now!! “I’d just got a PC and got on the internet at the time. I was able to ID old classics and get them on ebay, I bought shitloads of tunes over the next 2 years, always oldschool mind you. This was before I had kids mind you, when I had some money!!!”
Soon there were appearances at Funkadelic in Liverpool, and a residency at The Barfly. “It was weird playing out again, I felt no pressure second time around. Maybe a bit more confident, being older.” But by 2006 Steve felt pigeon-holed, and was fed up of playing the same stuff over and over. He decided to get a pair of Pioneer CDJ’s. “It was unbelievable, my collection quadrupled overnight. My first mix CD on my CDJ’s was an Ibiza Club Classics mix, just wanted to play something different. They saved me in a way, and I love playing new school DNB now.”
2007 saw Steve join the Stressfactor ranks and earn a residency at the O2 Academy in Liverpool with Craig Callaghan. Two years on and Ste-J made an appearance at the SF:UK live event and is still keeping us guessing on what he’ll play each week. Hardcore, Jungle Techno, Amen or fresh deep cuts, you never know what to expect. “I love doing Stressfactor. I try and provide a bit of variety, not to play the same thing too much. This keeps the fire burning. I’ve had two years on Stressfactor now and I’ve never enjoyed it so much. I love music and to play music just to one person, and they enjoy it, makes my day.”

DJ K-SEA, comes correct with da oldskool bizness. Straight from the (518) Saratoga Springs NY USA- K-Sea joined up with StressFactor Radio in 2006 after getting adicted hearing another local 518 DJ, Milkdud doing his weekly slots on thursday's (fatherhood keeps him from continuing his shows now days), bob's your uncle. He got hooked on all the oldskool sounds coming from the interwebs and begged SF for a slot. As it turns out, K-Sea's wish was granted in January 2007 with a slot on Sundays. The Uber Jungle Show from 3p.m.-6p.m .est / 8p.m.-11pm GMT has been rocking ever since. As of late, the show has been growing with special guests every week always wanting a piece of the action, exspecially the ones like J-Logik and Joey Costa who among a litteral handfull of DJ's make up the Jungle scene Albany, NY.
K-SEA got hooked on Jungle with this mix tape he bought in NYC on a street corner, Jungle 20-A in 1995. Since then, getting into DJing and moving along through the years, has still been trying to find the light through all this old-skool flava we call jungle. You know, now that we ask him about some history, he remembers his friend Collin bringing back this Pirate Radio madness from the UK in 1992, straight bangin tunes with MC's giving out pager numbers for map points to parties that night. This is where he got his first dose of jungle/hardcore and to this day believes this the whole reason he got hooked on rave scene to begin with.
Now days, K-SEA mainly runs his business, Uber Website Solutions 9-5 with some gigs here and there along with the weekle show on StressFactor Radio. After teaming up with Sub-Bombin Records in 2007 he's been Djing for such the likes of Chorus Babblebones, Sime Gezus AKA Pete Pluto, Mr. Blackout and Oddy Gato among other 518 MC's where one can't leabe out MC GM who rocks some serious lyrics, and a new mix tape out soon from GM and Pluto - Holly Cow out soon!.
