A SOLD OUT WEDNESDAY NIGHT SHOW AT CLUB FIVE :
STEEZ PROMO AND UPFRONT INDUSTRIES PRESENT
ANDY C & MC GQ [ Ram
Records ] - UK **WORLD'S #1 DNB DJ**
The man mysteriously known to most as Andy C. undoubtedly is one of
the most important figures in drum'n'bass' evolution. He was there at
the dawn of the '90s when drum'n'bass was still hardcore techno,
honing his talents as a DJ. Then, in 1992, just as drum'n'bass was
beginning to blossom, he formed Ram Records with Ant Miles. The label
quickly became one of drum'n'bass' driving forces, releasing a
plethora of 12" EPs featuring many of the genre's leading producers.
As part of the duo Origin Unknown with Miles, Andy C. produced one of
Ram's many landmark tracks, "Valley of the Shadows." Released in
1993, the track quickly became not only an anthem but also a classic,
being remixed and re-released repeatedly. Later in the '90s came more
Origin Unknown tracks; in addition, Andy C. joined forces with Shimon
and Miles to form the much-celebrated supergroup Ram Trilogy.
Throughout all his success, the man known to only a select few as
Andy Clarke managed to remain for the most part anonymous and, as a
result, considerably mythical -- an iconic figure within the insular
and manic U.K. drum'n'bass scene -- known to even his fans as only
Andy C.
DJ DARA [ Planet of the
Drums | BBS ] - PHI
A member of the infamous Planet of the Drums crew alongside fellow
drum n bass pioneers AK1200, Dieselboy, & J Messinian , this Irish
transplant has been a dominant figure in the U.S. drum ën bass scene
since his arrival here in 1994. His discography includes 2 critically
acclaimed full length artist albums, 8 DJ mix CDs, as well as
numerous singles and remixes for artists such as Freq Nasty, Afrika
Bambaata and Keoki. Dara co-founded the nation's first & largest drum
ën bass record store, Breakbeat Science , in NYC which doubles as his
own imprint, Breakbeat Science Recordings. He has been featured in
countless magazine articles and interviews both in the US and
worldwide. He previously hosted one of the internet's most popular
drum ën bass broadcasts, Velocity, where he regularly interviewed
leading drum ën bass artists such as Jonny L, Kemistry & Storm,
Trace, Ed Rush, Optical, Hype, Andy C, Zinc, and many others. Dara's
long standing relationships with the world's drum ën bass elite gives
him access to an astounding amount of new and unreleased material.
His brilliant recording endeavors along with his incessant touring
markey by consistently awe-inspiring DJ sets have made him one of the
most recognized and well respected DJs in the country.
LYNX [ Soul:R | Creative
Source ] - UK **DEBUT USA TOUR**
Soul:R, Creative Source, Bingo Beats, Digital SoundboyÖjust some of
the labels which will be releasing a Steve Nobes (aka Lynx) track
this summer. When you add this to increasingly frequent airplay and
an impressive set of DJ bookings starting in spring, 2007 seems set
to be the start of an exciting career for Lynx.
An exciting career but an electrifying new trend in drum and bass
sound. D&B has been waiting a long time for a producer who could
combine musical diversity with crowd pleasing success, and Lynx has
been worth the wait! You will see no better proof than the super
clubs of London, where dance floors are ripped up on a weekly basis
by Mariachi, Uno, Shaku, B Box Roller, Global Enemies or one of the
many other tracks in Lynx's current repertoire.
Marcus Intalex has been so impressed with Lynx's productions that he
is releasing a single and an EP on the groundbreaking Soul:R
recordings. Not only that 2007 will see Lynx integrated into the
Soul:R camp as an official Soul:R artist alongside legends such as
Calibre, Marcus Intalex and ST Files.
INFILTRATA [ Tek Dubz |
Renegade Hardware ] - LA
So who is Infiltrata? He's doing big things, signed to Photek
Productions / Metalheadz / Renegade Hardware / Tech Itch Recs. /
Outbreak / Tek Dubz / Cartel / Uprising / TOV / Imperial / Version.
His motto, "Eat, Sleep, and shit Drum & Bass," suits John well.
However, his strength as a DJ/Producer have since overshadowed his
talents on the mic taking him to various parts of Europe and just
about every city stateside worthy enough to host quality drum & bass
events. John's ability to control minds behind the decks is
comparable to his skills on the mic, because his energy is highly
contagious. He is one of only a few DJ's that can gracefully fuse hip
hop and drum and bass.
