BREAKS / ELECTRO / HOUSE
The New Guard | TrashMenagerie.com

Local Hero's enthusiasm for electronic music emerged in high school, as drum and bass crept into Chicago's urban landscape, but his musical influences began at birth. Growing up in an artistic family surrounded by electronic music, his parents kept him up all night dancing and listening to the likes of Talking Heads and Jean Luc Ponty. In middle school the sounds of Cajmere's "The Percolator" echoed off hall lockers, grabbing the young hand of soon-to-be Local Hero. It wasn't, however, until the breakbeat, in the form of Big beat and early jump up jungle, crossed his path that he knew that music was not only his past but his future. He has a bachelors degree in Acoustics, which applies heavily to his control of the dance floor and his understanding of club DJing. In his spare time he designs sound systems and acoustic environments for clubs, performance halls, studios and other entertainment venues. Local Hero's performances are composed artistic layering, be it old school or new school, tech or disco, to create a poetry of sound and texture interspersed with quick cuts and deviceful mixing. Local Hero's improvisational mixing is tempered by a scientific approach to structuring the sound and stoked by his intuitive connection with the crowd.

Hailing from the resplendent city of Chicago, Local Heros DJing career has been an uphill battle. Pushing through a sea of house music, his unique style of all things fun and eclectic, be it breaks, jungle, house, electro, and many other esoteric subgenres, has earned him a regular place in the Chicago music scene. As one of the founders (along with Tolgar) of Base 10 Breaks, he has regularly thrown the only regular breaks parties in Chicago. Their brainchild, Algorhythm at the recently revived Lava Lounge, brought some of the best breaks DJs from around the world as well as highlighting some of the talented locals that grace the small but loyal Chicago breaks scene. It is this affinity for breaks that sets him apart from your typical “electro” DJ. Local Hero is able to apply the turntablism associated with spinning breaks and incorporate into his strongly electro based sets while maintaining the high-energy of that genre!

His most recent venture, The New Guard at Tini Martini, had become a bastion for all the disillusioned Chicago heads that crave something beyond the same old party. Currently, besides regularly DJing all over the country, Local Hero devotes his energy to Trash Menagerie, a highly regarded music blog that focuses on finding and displaying the most innovative, new music artists and DJs that the world has to offer. He also holds down a weekly radio show, The Mathlab Sessions, every Friday from 7-9 CST on the world’s largest, most popular breaks website in the world, nuskoolbreaks.co.uk.



HARD HOUSE
Hardkore Records | Distorted Trauma | Infared

Elekid got his start as 'DJ Statico' back in late '97, playing Chicago Hard House for drunken high school kids. In '99 he started spinning Happy Hardcore and Gabber to compliment the Hard House that he played. In '01, Elekid finally started playing for people at raves and small clubs around Chicago. It wasn't until '02 when he finally started breaking out of his local scene and start playing across the country in cities such as Minneapolis, Charlotte, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Milwaukee, Columbus (OH), and many more. This was also around the time when he started playing Freeform and Trancecore alongside his other styles of Electronic Dance Music. Today you will find Elekid pouring his heart out into all of his sets that he plays all across the country. Expect the unexpected from this unique individual. You can never be sure what kind of Hardcore he'll play or if he'll play US Hard House. You can be sure though, that he will bring nothing but quality and emotion to the decks every time.

BREAKBEAT / ACID TECHNO LIVE PA
Seismic Bass Productions | Intergruv Networks

Contemporary Breakbeat/Acid Techno Live PA DJing Hybrid! Ready to experiment with technology and music? Here we go! Using Ableton Live, I'm DJing Breakbeat tracks + Custom effect modules. Rewired into another track is Rebirth, with 2 303"s, an 808, and a 909. All effects and parameters are highly performable, mapped to an Akai MPD24. The result at times sounds like contemporary Breakbeat, but other times, the Breaks get chopped and remixed, while the 303's rock out and the 808 beats you with it's bass drum. Other times everything is happening at once! It's highly experimental and unpredictable, and is recommended listening for those looking for fresh sounds, and fans of Breaks and Acid techno. Software enthusiasts should also enjoy the Ableton/Rebirth interplay and precision controlled performance! All women will leave the dance floor pregnant. I guarantee it.
