>>>THE LINEUP


JASON JOLLINS – NYC
///Acute Recordings, Pacha Resident New York City
Since the late 1990's, Jason Jollins has been on the forefront of the progressive house movement in New York City, considered throughout the industry as New York City's top Progressive House Dj. Due to a high demand for Jason's live sets world-wide, Jason left his full time career in Online Advertising in March of 2006 and began to tour extensively around the world. Consistently selling out each venue he has played, he is being looked at by many as "the 2007 break through dj" and has become one of the most In-Demand dj's on the global touring circuit. While Jason is enjoying the fruits of his success, his journey has been long and many sacrifices have been made to achieve the status that he has today.

He has had the privilege of playing alongside world renowned DJs such as Sasha, Carl Cox, Paul Van Dyk, Steve Lawler, Lee Burridge, Chris Fortier, Hybrid, ATB, Juan Atkins, Armin Van Buuren, Marcus Schulz, Hernan Cattaneo, Above & Beyond, Seb Fontaine, Nu Nrg, Oscar G, Guy Ornadel, Gabriel & Dresden, Anthony Pappa, Tini Tun, Deep Mariano, Darren Emerson, Ferry Corsten, Max Graham, and many others. Aside from holding down a former Godskitchen residency in NYC, Jason has continuously held high profile residencies at NYC's top venues such as Avalon (NYC), Centro-Fly, Filter 14, the Roxy, Webster Hall, Spirit (formerly Twilo), Crobar New York, Love NYC, and currently plays regularly for Made Event @ Pacha New York.

While appearing on many of the top internet radio stations, Jason has held a monthly radio show on Proton Radio for over 5 years being one of the first dj's to host a live Proton Radio dj show. Jason continues to host his show on Proton Radio as well as a monthly show (Acute Sessions with Jason Jollins) on Di.Fm (Digitally Imported Radio), DLA Radio (Dance Latino America Radio), ETN.FM, Stream.fm, and the top internet radio station in Greece DanceRadio.Gr.

Jason's record label, Acute Recordings, is considered to be one of the top
progressive house labels coming out of the United States. Launched in 2002, Acute releases have graced the charts of many of the worlds top talent including #1 charted releases on the prestigious balance record pool, #1 best selling tracks on beatport.com, and with releases creating buzz in several magazines and online media sources.



SKYNET – Seattle, Wa.
“Sentient” Album Release Party
///Skynet, Discrete, Underfire & Audio Blueprint Recordings.
Resurfacing in the DNB world after working on major Hip Hop & Pop projects for the last three years, Skynet is set to reshape DnB - again. Skynet has put his head down in the studio for almost 9 straight months of 105+ hour weeks, and has emerged with his 16-track debut solo album entitled "Sentient". Working alongside some of the greats for this project, Nathan Vinall aka Skynet teamed up with: "Chuck Treece" (Bad Brains, The Roots, Scott Storch), "Aarron Fishbein" (Beyonce, Christine Aguilera, Scott Storch), "Ben Peeler" (Shakira, Wallflowers, Lisa Loeb) and Kam Houff (number one songwriter for Mario's "Let me Love You" and Scott Storch's engineer) to complete and aid to his vision on this masterpiece. This release - and the huge amount of super talent along side Skynet on his album - is not to be missed. This promises to make the DnB history books.
Skynet on tour promoting "Sentient" promises to be a night you will never forget.
