John B - UK - DnB
Beta Recordings, beta-recordings.co.uk, john-b.com

If you haven't come across John B in one of his many musical guises over the past decade, where have you been? Classically trained at a young age, this British super producer has gone on to become one of the most eclectic and unique individuals working within electronic music today. Although the keystone to John's artistry before the end of the millennium was obviously creativity and intuition, he was still on a path of self-discovery. This fact, coupled with his penchant for cult, 80's synthesizer-style, Electro soundscapes, would eventually lead him to the driver's seat of his soon-to-be signature style; one that would sell him thousands of records. John's genre-defying catalogue spans the worlds of Electro, Trance and Drum & Bass, and a few other spaces across the bpm spectrum. Undoubtedly with no limits John B is a name synonymous with originality and is far ahead of his time on a world wide tip.

System Recordings, Zone Records, Tree, Essential Mix, Pam DJs, djicey.com
*Love of the Beat CD Release Tour*

Rising to worldwide prominence out of the fertile orlando florida electronic music scene, which has spawned the likes of AK 1200,Kimball Collins, Jimmy Van M, Chris Fortier, and Baby Anne, Icey is by far one of the most respected and loved breakbeat producers in the nation. Playing 100 + gigs per year, Icey is a touring maniac, but that doesnt keep him out of the studio during the week working on new tracks for his indie labels zone and tree records. With over 200 12" singles under his production belt, the "king of breaks" has sound scanned over 300,00 units in north america alone.

Always turn'in it out this is yet another performance not to be missed.

DJ SWAMP - LA - Diseased Turntablism
Decadent Records, djswamp.com

Taking the title of USA DMC CHAMPION in 1996, his very first year involved with the contest, Swamp became known for his turntablist antics (including breakbeats, scratching, juggling, and destroying LPs and vinyl without ever losing the beat). Able to turn a a simple dj show into something more than words can describe, Swamp has been known to cut himself with shards of shattered vinyl records, scratch a diamond-tipped phonograph needle across his tongue and blow fire, occasionally with calamitous results. Appearing on the pages of; Rolling Stone, Spin, Subculture, Raygun, Mean, DJ Times, Keyboard, Rap Sheet, Mixer, Rap Pages, The LA Times, and Urb as well as musical appearances with the likes of beck, bloodhound gang, bt, chrystal method, weird al yankovic and many more, plus numerous tv appearances on abc in concert, american music awards, conan o'brien, david letterman, espn and more not to mention his movie appearances in clockstoppers and scratch, swamp has become an american Icon. Onstage, huddled between a pair of turntables, his unkempt long hair, black polished fingernails and aggressive antics make Swamp look more like a death metal dude than a DJ, and with his wild eyes, perpetual scowl and scraggly beard and moustache, he could easily take home a Severed Head trophy in a Charles Manson look alike contest. Witnessing Swamp torture the 1200's is like watching a magic show, prepare.

I understand its not a small amount, but this lineup doesn't come cheap. If you can afford to spend the $25 its worth it! This party and these promoters are worth it. The scene needs real events like this.
