DUBSTEP-GLITCH-BREAKS


Dr Lazarus X and MCLD [Smog/SureFire/BrainFeeder]
http://www.myspace.com/doctorlazarusx

Most recognized in L.A. & S.F. as a dubstep badman, his 1st debut in the scene was at LA’s SMOG Sessions, when Knife Dreams dropped a DLX track for the very first time, the response was a fierce call for a rewind that instantly secured him as one of the founders of the LA dubstep movement.

A longtime resident for SMOG, as well as Pure Filth, DLX’s first dubstep gig was in early 2007, where he opened for Kode 9 in L.A. He has also manned the decks for various other dubstep events, including Dubstep Nostra,Redline in SF, and Bassrush.


Austin Speed [Sublmnl/Rogue Dubs]
http://www.myspace.com/austinspeed

A seasoned veteran of the So Cal techno scene, Austin experienced his first live dubstep show in ’07 & was immediately hooked. In 2008 along with production partner CRMNL he co-founded Sublmnl Sound System, a promotion company that has been instrumental in bringing international dubstep talent to SD.

Austin’s dubstep DJ sets are notoriously high-energy and incorporate many of his own original productions. Keep a look out for his forthcoming releases on Roguedubs and Phunkfiction


Yona
http://www.myspace.com/hvc3

Yona has been DJing Southern Cali for 11 years, He moved into DUb/Glitch/Midtempo three years ago and has been tearing up festivals with blazing night sets and morning time sunrise sets ever since.

dj Collagey [SoulProvince/EarthBound Radio/ BrokenBeat]
http://www.soulprovince.com/

Influenced by artists such as DJ Shadow, Coldcut and Pieter K Collagey has been involved in SD music scene since 1998. Looped vocal phrases and thick gospel ditties laid on top of distorted beatbox-style rhythms and scratching thats elaborated by electronic meandering, characterizes just a small portion of DJ Collageys set. His release, “Hip Trip For Flip-Floppers” represents an evolution of music through multiple decades, including sounds from the eras of Motown, funk, disco, soul, jazz, blues, hip hop, and electronica.

Opening for acts such as The Black Eyed Peas,
The Movemeant, Killah Priest, Reid Speed, and Adam F, as well as having long term residencies with Thrusters, Beat Parlor, and Soul Glo, Collagey has proven that he is not only eclectic but driven for nothing but success.

* VOTED BY CITYBEAT BEST INTELLIGENT DANCE MUSIC 2008 

Best intelligent dance music

On the first Saturday of every month, inside the darkened den that is the castle-and-chess-themed Kadan Club (4696 30th St., Normal Heights), Walker Holland, Miguel Vega and Angelo Gastelum can be found reveling at the site of massive amounts of electronic gear.

“The more hardware and wires the better,” says Holland, the driving force behind BrokenBeat (www.brokenbeat.com), the name for both a club night featuring live experimental electronic music and visuals and the network of artists who create it.

For almost a decade, Holland and his collaborators have been putting on events in San Diego that spotlight the kind of electronic music you won’t find in Downtown clubs. A far cry from the repetitive beat-heavy house or trance music most people think of when they hear the words “electronic music,” BrokenBeat is all about “intelligent dance music” (IDM), specifically “glitch,” (a subgenre of experimental electronic music) and the live mixing and retooling of electronic-music tracks. If done correctly, it’s the kind of music that can get even the most mainstream-minded bar-goer on the dance floor.

“Angelo here is a great example of that,” says Vega, who’s recently joined BrokenBeat as the visual jockey (VJ) and who schedules other VJs to provide the live visuals for the night at Kadan. “When Angelo plays, everyone is on the dance floor.”

The typical lineup for a BrokenBeat night is three electronic DJs, one live electronic-music artist and one or two VJs who improvise with the music and fill three screens hanging on the walls of Kadan with graphics, live video feeds, animation and more.

“I’ve had nights where I’ve just stepped back and looked at it and thought, Wow, that’s cool,” Holland says. “Seeing people dancing inside those three screens, it’s like they’re dancing inside a giant television.”

“And the best part,” Gastelum adds, “is that we don’t charge. This is something we do out of love.”
