STARKEY
Grime/Dubstep/Hip-Hop

PJ Geissinger aka Starkey is blessed with musical arrangement skills that would leave most composers green faced with envy. This combined with his high production ethic makes him a formidable force not only in the underground but also as a super producer of the future. Starkey is yet another example of what the streets of Philadelphia can create, his sound hits hard and is littered with bass and colourful audio frequencies. If you like grime, dubstep, hip hop and all things “street bass” then Starkey’s hard edged spaced out crunk is the sound for you.

BARE
Drum ‘n Bass/West Coast Hip-Hop/Dubstep

For Los Angeles bassline technician BARE, aka Sean Rodela, 2010 will be fondly remembered as the year his twisted face melting sickness exploded into a worldwide epidemic. Taking the dubstep scene by storm with his staggering studio output and electrifying live performances, there is no question BARE has clawed his way into the ranks of the bass music elite – and he’s not going anywhere. If you don’t know, time to get to know…

The BARE sound is a product of deep roots in rock, west coast hip-hop (as part of the Vital Mindz collective) and aggressive drum ‘n’ bass (as past alias Reborn). These influences, combined with ultra crisp drum programming, slick melodies and mind altering bass modulation, spawn face melting dubstep anthems that practically rewind themselves. “I’d have to say that the love of making something from nothing inspires me to make music,” BARE says. “There is no better feeling than when you see people go insane to something you created from scratch!”

SPANKALICIOUS
Psychedelic/Bounce/Dubstep

Spankalicious is bounce. Making his mark on the electronic music scene in the Midwest with the high energy that he brings to the stage, creating the vibe needed to get the rage started! Kevin Moore (aka: Spankalicious) is currently based out of St. Louis, Missouri. Coming from an extensive background in rudimental percussion/drumming has allowed Spank to read rhythms inside and out. Shown through scratching, drumming, as well as seamlessly blending and mixing, Spankalicious thrives on taking the crowd on a journey.

vs.

DR. AWKWARD
Columbian Dubstep Cartel

Nick Meyer aka Dr. Awkward first touched turntables about a year and a half ago, and hasn’t looked back since. The live experience has made Nick a hometown favorite, and allowed him to share the stage with some of the biggest names in electronic music today… Vaski, Siren, DZ, HD4000, Ill Gates, plus Datsik and Dieselboy in the near future, just to name a few. His passion for different types of music outside the electronic scene, be it blues guitar, underground hip-hop, or classical piano, lends a sound, flow, and emotion to his shows that is quite rare in the dubstep scene. Keep an eye out… Things could get awkward…

JEN Z
House/Drum ‘n Bass/Breaks

“With a little bit of spunk and a lot of raw talent, Jen Z tears up the dance scene all across the Midwest. Her timing techniques and immaculate track selection have earned her a spot rocking Burning Man this year and she was recently voted St. Louis’ best Breaks DJ of 2008. You might have seen her grace coveted St. Louis stages from Winter Warpdrive to Underground Sound and Booty Halloween. Strap on your sneakers and brush up your moves, Jen Z on the decks rocks a dirty sick groove!”
