Diverted
Stephen Baxter and Lee Richardson are Diverted. They’ve been making their mark on the Breaks scene for the last couple of years and have developed a reputation for producing some rockin’ breakbeat and mixing it up at several of the scene’s most popular events.

Diverted Music
Responsible for last year's TCR summer anthem "Tholid" and a string of well-received releases on DJ Vlad’s Sokolov Sounds, Diverted have found their grounding in the breaks scene. The latest release on Sokolov, "Plain and Simple" is receiving excellent reactions and marks nearly 2 years of releasing records together. The positive feedback has also spurred the guys on to creating their album which is being put together hand-in-hand with an exciting live show involving vocalists, live instruments from the guys themselves and contributions from other Djs and artists around them. Keep an eye on www.diverted.org.uk for news/video and audio updates.

Submergence into all things Breaks has seen them appear on two commercial mix albums for TCR (TCR100) and AIR Recordings (AIR Breaks) as well as unleashing a series of remixes for labels such as ibreaks, MOFO, Even Flow and their own imprint Diverted Traffic. They exclusively did a single for Londonbreakz and have one more forthcoming release this year on Ali B’s AIR label. Next they plan to settle down the release schedule, put together the previously mentioned album for early 2007 and concentrate on collaborative projects with B.L.I.M, Jhz, !mposter and Australia’s award winning Dopamine.

Diverted Gigs
The last year has taken them up and down the UK Djing their sound to the masses. Particularly memorable nights have been at the infamous HUM and this year’s Drop Beats Not Bombs indoor festival in Birmingham at the Custard Factory. The forthcoming year should see them expand to a worldwide capacity.

Diverted Shows
Currently they are co-hosting the Sokolov Sounds radio show with Vlad every Sunday on www.ibreaks.co.uk with guests such as B.L.I.M., Chris Carter, Jhz, Ed !mposter, The Breaks Alliance, Rob Focuz, Clive Tagsta, The Groovediggers, Future Funk Squad, Ellis Dee, 10sui, Ardisson, the list goes on.

Diverted Traffic
Their label DIVERTED TRAFFIC (on its third release already) is selling well in a short space of time. It has been an outlet to introduce new artists into the scene “No Hands” and “Tom Tonic” who have gone on to have excursions for other labels and get deserved exposure on national radio.
