Stage 1: "Mirrors" (Hosted by James Menges)


NIGEL RICHARDS(611 Records)
Philadelphia, Pa
Nigel has certainly seen the world during his career which is now approaching two decades, having started his obsession with dance music DJ'ing in 1989. Germany, Brazil, England, Greece, Dominican Republic and Bulgaria are just a sampling of the places his deck wizardry has blessed along with nearly every state in the USA. Nigel is not a pigeonholed DJ of any genre. See what 40+ records, 3 mixed cd's and a whole lot of globetrotting can do for a unique performer who is also a very personable guy. This experience shines as he rocks crowds with new sounds while still keeping the masses comfortable.Check out nigelrichards.com

JEN MAS (Vitus Productions)
New York, NY
The Queen of hardcore is coming.In action, Jen displays a unique style and passion for her music and her progressive sets always express this enthusiasm, forcing you to dance to every beat. With her quick mixing, cutting, and scratching, she keeps you on your toes and takes you through a journey of sound that has the ability to appeal to a broad range of listeners, since her sets can include many different genres of music. Her admiration and dedication to turntablism and genre-blending keeps leading her down a unique path of her art form, and she strives to continue pushing the limits of DJing as well as keeping busy in the studio working on original material. And if that's not enough, she can also be counted on to throw down a mean set of jungle/drum and bass or old skool. And of course she will continue to organize quality events in her local scene. Her vigorous journey has only begun.


DJ DEVELOPE (Beaten Path Recordings)
Little Rock, Arkansas
Develope is one of the first DJ's in Little Rock to push the Nu Skool and Electro envelope. Winner of the "DJ of the Year" scratch competitions in Orlando Fl; first by advancing through the quarter finals and then the finals in 2004. This gave him 2 competition wins to add to his already lengthy resume. Bringin the hottest Electro Breaks selection around, and some tricks of his own twisted creation, Develope is here to show you how they do in the Dirty South. Take a deep breath and get ready NY, its time to take a journey in the mind of DJ Develope.

MIKEY PARKAY (Visionary Mindz Recordings)
Syracuse, NY
A staple of the Upstate Ny scene, Parkay has been reknowned for his
crowd moving sets and energetic stage presence. Mixing together a smooth blend of House & Techno his sets have been reconized throughout the northeast and given him bookings at some of the state's largest events. Witness an Upstate favorite rock Syracuse once again!!

MJ DUKE (Upstateunderground.net, EFX Internet, Future86)
Bing-alinghamton NY
Loosely tagged as a Progressive Trance DJ, mj is known to mix different genres of techno with razor sharp precision. Duke is an old school jock with many tricks up his sleeve. He has majorly contributed to the upstate's scene with maintaining Upstateunderground.net for many, many years. The rave landscape of CNY would be totally different if it were not for Duke.

APOLLO CHRISTIAN(Partz Unknownst)



Stage 2, "Promises"

SWAN 7 VS. DJ DUCK "The Flap Attack" (Upstate Jungle & Direkt Influence)
Floyd NY/Syracuse NY
When these two d&b jocks meet, you will never hear a "fowl" record play. They work seamelessly through each mix, truly bringing an energy and sound like no other.

MANIAC VS. TWEAK (Stargate/Techmology)
Syracuse/Auburn NY
No, there wasn't a breakout at the asylum. These two never were institutionalized.. Although some may think they should be... Maniac is the founder of Stargate Productions, and is ready to cook up some tech-insanity.
The sheer energy produced by the dance floor when you witness DJ Tweak in action is uncontrolable. If you "Don't Dance" you haven't heard Tweak. And for those of you who wonder, the name says it all. You wouldn't trust this guy with a spoon but give him some turntables and he'll make you lose your mind.

EGZAIL(Direkt Influence Productions)
Frankfort, NY
One of Utica's surviving party moguls, Egzail has been working for Direkt Influence since pimpin was pimpin. Along with Swan 7 and Kogs, he has shaped and formed the crew into what they are today. Now he brings his unique style of big floor club house to Broken, his first Trexx appearance in almost 2 years.

D'JINN & THE GIVER (Direkt Influence, Visionary Mindz, Galaxy Traxx)
Taiwan/Cooperstown, NY
This is one of Djinn's first United States appearance in three years! Formerly S.O.E., he has been part of our crew since before we were called D.I. His unparalelled contributions to our crew have defined what we are today. We welcome him back to the states, and back into the Upstate Scene!
As for the Giver, well...Ask- and you shall recieve. No stranger to the DJ booth, he has an impressive resume to say the least. The Giver is one of Direkt Influence's founding members and has been rocking our parties since the very beginning. (Remember the Dragon Bar?) Also an up-&-coming producer, he is one of the brightest talents coming out of CNY. Hailing from Cooperstown NY, The Giver is about to knock one outta the park.

SNICKAZ(Techmology Productions, Birthday Set)
New Orleans, La
Not going anywhere for a while? That's fuckin right. Techmology's Snickaz sound never fails to satisfy even the most picky of junglists. Happy birthday Snickaz, hope you brought your stickaz.

LABRATORY VS. M3 (Techmology/Direkt Influence)
Syracuse/Remsen NY
One of the hottest breaks duos in NYS is in the house. Just like Tropicana OJ, Lab&M3's masterfully mixed sets are good to the last drop. This is the definition of FloorDuhFukAtion, baby. You're about to experience it first hand.

VOINS & DISKO (Direkt Influence)
Syracuse/Oswego NY
This pair of Techno fiends has recently lit up the syracuse scene with their signature sound, which can be effectively described in three words. Hard, Funky, Acid. Recently signed to Direkt Influence, Voins and Disko are about to funk you hard.
