This featured on the dmc micky finn album last year (2003) Also "afterburn" and "rockford" are getting some interest from other labels such as true players and formation. Darren hopes to get this out asap as he's been working on an album 4 mc riddla with Bob Sonic, which is up to 10 tracks. It features many styles such as hip hop, ragga, and dnb. They are also looking at some collaborations with the ragga twins, mc blade, and the likes of TC Islam. Some hip hop tunes that were produced by darren jay and special k have also been picked up by MC SKibbadee who is signed 2 relentless via Virgin. He would like to feature them on his album . Darren is also looking at putting out a jungle old school vibe track again, with riddla and Bob Sonic.

Bout TOBESTAR
In the 8oies Tobes started deejaying at the age of 14 and got infected with the "jungle-fever" in late 1990 listening to a pirate radio station during a school trip to London. "Hooligan 69" by the Ragga Twins (played by Dj Hype on air) was the track that changed his life destinctively arousing his love for the early Hardcore sound after years of listening to HipHop, Miami Bass And Electro. He was the first in Munich trying to promote this new sound to a bigger audience in and around Munich at various Raves (e.g: "Ultraworld, Ravesignal, Union Move, Sunflower, Rave on Snow, Rave on Cruise, Thaibreak, Future, ...). In 1993 he joined forces with State of Riot Promotions. This joint venture gave birth to the first Munich-breakbeat-all nighters at the Backstage Club (1993) and, in 1995, the "Presha Club". In 1996 State of Riot connected with the guys running the Delirium Record store in Munich to build up a new and even stronger platform for breakbeat music: Southern Sessions Promotions/Southern Sessions Recordings. From late 1997-99 he did the radio show "reload" on evosonic radio (big up bassface sascha!) Since that time, Tobestar has been busy deejaying all over Germany, producing tunes and remixes for various people(Glow, Kosmo music, BMG) also working as an A&R for Southern Sessions Recordings alongside his longtime fellow and label owner DJ Ryan. In 1997 he presented the new face of German DnB compiling and mixing of the "Code+49:Remarkable Drum and Bass" compilation. He also produced the score for the "Stars&Stripes"-TV&Cinema campaign for Schwan Stabilo (also showed during the MTV World Music Video Awards) After years of promoting the biggest Drum and Bass events in the south of Germanyand various residencies (such as Millenium, Am dam Des, Mandarin Lounge, Ultraschall), the new clubnight "BiG UP!" was set up at the Muffathalle Munich in 1998 (in cooperatopn with the GOMMA guys M.Modica/J.Imberry. It went till 2003. A new home was found at the FUNKY KITCHEN, followed later by THE GARDEN club. Now focusing on deejaying and producing. Tobestar is ready for the next decade to come as one of Munich's finest - the Tobe- the- Star !
