MUSIC
…………………………
TOM BURBANK > Los Angeles
Planet-Mu | BrokenBeat
…………………………

http://www.myspace.com/tomburbank

Mixing left-field hip-hop with melodic electronica, producer/multi-instrumentalist Tom creates a sound somewhere between Prefuse 73, RJD2, & his labelmate Edit. The L.A. native was once a member of the Fela tribute band Afrobeat Down, and played numerous DJ sets up and down the California coast as a member of the BrokenBeat network. Burbank made his full-length debut in 2006 when Planet Mu label released Famous First Words.

…………………………
MASK > UK
Sonic Lodge
…………………………

http://www.myspace.com/maskedmusic

MASK is a member of the Cardiff UK based crew called Sonic Lodge (Monkey, Stagga, Magenta, P Dubz, Metabeats, etc..). Sonic Lodge itself started out as a local pirate radio show, but is now a label run partly by Monkey himself. The labels releases have tended towards dubstep but the third release will feature a glitch side.

Under his MASK moniker, productions tend towards housey dubstep and electronic hip hop. In addition to Sonic Lodge, MASK is a member of the Darkhouse Family, which is exclusively a future hip-hop project. This group is comprised of Don Leisure (formerly Jamal (Metalheadz, Tru Playaz, T.O.V.) , Metabeats (Associated Minds, Bigger Than Barry) and MASK. Expect an up coming E.P. release on Manchesters Fat City records (www.fatcityrecordings.com) and a feature on the Producer No. 2 compilation alongside the likes of Mike Slott, Mr. Dibiase, Dabrye.

Expect the unexpected, original UK productions fresh for BrokenBeat Platinum !

……………………….
PUPPY KICKER > San Diego
Rogue Dubs | BrokenBeat
…………………………

http://www.myspace.com/sandiegounderground

Puppy Kicker is half of one of San Diego’s best kept secrets… ARGYLE, and has been smashing sound systems all around the southwest. From the deserts to the warehouses, dropping dance floor bombs is PK’s specialty: bringing ungodly sub bass, mind bending drops as well as a wide array of unrealeased tunes and original material. PuppyKicker is about to make some international waves like a tsunami as he has releases scheduled to be out in Germany on BiggerDubz (formerly Barish) and the UKs DubFrequency Records.

…………………………
DR NICKEL > San Diego
TidePool Music
…………………………

http://www.myspace.com/drnickel

One of our favorite local producers, Dr Nickel emerges from his Ocean Beach laboratories to deliver some dirty, grimy, glitchy dubstep.

…………………………
MELOTRONIX > Arizona
Tempe
…………………………

http://www.melotronix.com

Ms Melotronix brings her own twist to the “art of noise”. Armed with her turntables, mixer, effects box and microphone, she blends heavy chunky funky bass lines with etheric ovetones (of flutes, harps, sitar, and more), while singing over her creation.
She has been dj-ing and producing her own music since 1999, so she comes to the stage with an arsenal of tracks that you will not hear anywhere else. Combining old-school classics and original tracks with the latest sounds selected by the mixtress, you will be taken on a sonic adventure that you will not soon forget.

VJ MR COCOON > Los Angeles
THE POLYAMOROUS AFFAIR
…………………………

http://www.innerspaceouterspace.com/

In an emerging world of live video artists, few have background and skill as impressive as David Cabrera AKA mr.cocoon.
With the performative approach of a live musician, his adaptable style has been described as psychedelic narrative, often referencing Nam June
Paik and late 60′s light shows. Using a combination of self-produced footage, found video and live-synthesized video sources, mr.cocoon has created a technique
of his own. His visual shows have been featured with DJs and bands and at clubs, underground parties, galleries and corporate events since
1995. As one of the most in-demand video artists, mr. cocoon performs in excess of 100 shows a year, spanning the globe.

His career as a live visualist began in San Francisco in 1995, where he performed interactive slide shows of his original photography. Often he used
upwards of seven overlapping projectors to create new textures and visual compositions. This setup has evolved into a custom
VJ Rig running both analog/digital and optical components.

David has mastered the art of live video mixing, generating live footage and also utilizing digital and optical feedback. His
particular collection of self-produced footage and rare visual art provides him with a one of a kind pallet in which he creates
captivating narratives that host a multitude of conceptual outcomes.

David is the live visualist for one of LA’s hottest emerging bands: The Polyamorous Affair.

LIVE ART

………………………..
GRIFFIN ONE
…………………………

http://www.griffinone.com/

Griffin has built a career for himself as a urban aerosol muralist, illustrator & logo designer. He continues to balance his focus between his own canvas work, as well as hand
full of underground T-shirt lines, independent record labels & live artistry locally & world-wide.

His graffiti-influenced style can be found on everything from skateboard trucks, sand rails, life-size fiberglass cows, iPhone games, night-club interior murals,
to walls in Greece and Switzerland. This inability to settle on any one medium or style is reflective of his approach to life in general. Staying true to his travel bug, Griffin’s journeys include a 3 week long European Hip-Hop music Tour with Awol-One and The Insects in February ’08, breaking the ice in overseas live artistry in 2008.

Griffin is a resident artist at the world famous Blunt Club – the premier Live Hip-Hop weekly event in the southwest US – & continues to do live art on-stage since his start in 2001 in San Diego.

We are very excited to have are old friend Griffin back in SD with his BrokenBeat fam

DUBSTEP-GLITCH-BREAKS

DJ Steady [Smog] LA
http://www.myspace.com/steadydnb

A welcome face to dance floors all over California, Steady is a solid contributor to West Coast dubstep whose productions and performances passionately promote the sound. After playing drum and bass for almost a decade, Steady caught the dubstep contagion and was soon inducted into the SMOG family with the rest of the beat freaks. Along with fellow DJ and producer Kelly Dean, Steady now hosts a radio show “PLATFORM” on DubstepFM every second Saturday of the month from 1-3PM, where he showcases exclusive new material by artists both local and from around the world. The two have also just released “The Prophet” on Shift Recordings and you can find Steady’s work on Alterkation Records as well as on the recent and wildly popular “Dubstep LA” mix by Plastician. Looking forward to future collaborations with fellow SMOG members and other local dubstep heads, Steady continues to propel the sound forward in the studio and at filthy parties all up and down the West Coast.

Puppy Kicker [BrokenBeat/ Rogue Dubs]

If you haven’t heard puppy before you haven’t heard shit. Be sure to check out  his latest releases coming out in November on Rogue Dubs:
“Everyones Happy” & “The Smoothover” (RD013)

EshOne [Rogue Dubs/ SD Dubstep.com]
http://www.sddubstep.com

EshOne is a rising star of the American dubstep scene. He produces a very unique sound that can be only vaguely be described as  minimal, dark, and cinematic. Being extremely picky in his selection of dubs, and in the way they are presented, EshOne creates a pure experience for the audience, an experience you do not expect and will not forget for quite some time. Even though he has played alongside many famous deejays, EshOne is not to be compared to any of them as he blazes through new territories of dub and dnb.

PNutz [EarthBound Radio/ San Diego Turntabe Institute]
http://www.myspace.com/pnutz

Opening for names like DEL the Funky Homosapien, Haiku D ‘ Etat feat.Aceyalone, Young M.C., Ab Rude & Mikah 9, Zion I, CMA, Typical Cats, The Grouch, and numerous others, dj P Nutz has been makin her mark on the scene. She currently has residencies with The Downbeat, Soul Glo, and Earthbound Radio. We are honored to have Pnutz make her bb night debut

A quick Q&A with Puppy:

It’s been a while, how are you?

I’m good. Just been makin tunes, tryin to get the name out there a bit. Got a couple tunes comin out on Rogue Dubs next month. And a vinyl release on Rogue Plates comin out in a couple months. So good. Really good.

How would you say the dubstep scene in SD has grown and developed in the last year?

Well… it’s def been making some serious strides. We’ve had a couple really big names come through town, which has been great. The people down here are def starting to catch on to the sound and really seeming to appreciate what we’re offering. Which is a small but VERY strong and diverse talent pool. I’d say we’ve developed from a baby in a crib to a baby that’s learning to crawl around and get into stuff… it’s not gonna be too long now before we are jumping ramps on our bmx bikes in the street. We’re growing so fast.

Who should we be lookin out for?

SD in general… Austin Speed, EshOne, MSK, Dr. Nickels, Tapir, Myself. We’re takin over!

How did the name Beaverhausen come about?

hahahahahahaha….

I met a beautiful young woman at a day party here in San Diego. She told me her name was Anastasia Beaverhausen. I was inspired by her, so I named a tune after her.

Any upcoming collabs or projects we should know about?

Um… yeah! I’ve been collabing with Esh under the name “Argyle”. We’ve been making some really cool tunes. I def have been enjoying working with him… the tunes just some out so naturally. I’ve also been working with Tapir. We don’t really have a name yet but I think we may call ourselves “The Z List”. Also, my boy Austin Speed has been making some CRAZY mash ups w/ Calulon & Whizard.

What’s your favorite after-the-bar taco shop, and why?

Ohhh… that’s a hard one… the first answer is… The one that’s still open! But if a had a choice it would either be Santana’s on Rosecrans because they are consistantly good, have great sauce and don’t seem like they will spit in my burrito. The other would be Lucha Libre’s… They’ve got these gourmet burritos that are fuckin INSANE good, not to mention that the whole place is decked out in Luchador masks and champion belts and stuff… Oh! and they’ve got a tv that premanently has Ron Burgendy on the screen.. Now THAT’S some good San Diego lovin right thr’!

Shouts:

Well everyone I’ve mentioned already… Austin Speed, EshOne, Tapir, MSK, Dr. Nixs, um… LL Beaverhausen, ROGUE DUBS, Big Up Magazine, Broken Beat fam, everyone who comes out and shows love and support.. (I feel like I’m doin my thank you speech after the Emmy’s or some shit) MY GRAMA!!! fo sho! sddubstep.com
