The Checkmatez zijn 2 dj’s die de handen in elkaar geslagen hebben. (B.enn & Questpeace). Terwijl B.enn zijn roots eerder in de wereld van elektronische muziek (house, techno, breakz, mnml) liggen, heeft Questpeace vooral een hiphop, soul en funk achtergrond. Breng beide samen en je krijgt een mix van reggae, house, hiphop, dub, funk, drum’n’bass, soul, brazilian, breakz, etc etc.. Wars van alle genres, brengen ze vooral vette & funky beatz.
