Mory Kante
Real Name: Mory Kanté
Profile: Mory Kanté (born February 24, 1950 in Kissidougou, Guinea) is an acclaimed vocalist and player of the kora harp. He was born into one of Guinea's best known families of griot (hereditary) musicians. After being brought in the Mandinka griot tradition in Guinea, he was sent to Mali at the age of seven years -- where he learned to play the kora, as well as important voice traditions, some of which are necessary to become a griot.
In 1971 Kanté became a member of the Rail Band, in which Salif Keïta was a singer. Keïta left the band in 1973, leaving Kanté as the singer.
Mory Kanté is best known internationally for his 1987 hit song "Yéké Yéké", which was also one of Africa's best-ever selling hits.

Hardfloor
Real Name: Oliver Bondzio & Ramon Zenker
Profile: Hardfloor is a German techno duo, consisting of Oliver Bondzio and Ramon Zenker. Their most famous track is "Acperience 1" (titled simply "Acperience" on many compilations).
Their distinctive acid house sound is credited to their virtuoso skill at manipulating Roland TB-303 bass synthesisers, they reputedly use up to six of these machines at once, some of which are highly modified. The group were criticised for their formulaic but commercially successful remixes, but their own releases consistently explore new territory.
