***CHARLES FEELGOOD***
Cultivating a fascination with music since childhood, Charles grew up listening to Motown, disco and funk, genres that heavily influenced his personal style as an artist. An Integral part of the Baltimore/DC scene, Charles if often credited with helping put the scene on the house music map. In 1992 he joined forces with fellow DJ Scott Henry to launch Fever, a club event that introduced the sounds of electronic music to his hometown. The first event of its kind in that region, the night exploded in popularity almost immediately, attracting upwards of 2,500 people. Featuring such top-notch, internationally renowned talent as Paul Van Dyk,Derrick Carter, and Carl Cox, the biweekly event ran through May 2001.
Maintaining a seven-year residency at Fever helped springboard Feelgood's danceable brand of bangin' hard house to widespread exposure across the East Coast. His popularity quickly bloomed thanks in part to his legendary series of mixed tapes, "Time to Get Ill." He soon developed a club-heavy touring schedule that regularly took him to famed clubs such as Avaland,Sound Factory NYC, and Cro Bar, along with numerous other venues on the West Coast, Canada, Europe, Asia and South America.
Charles has been busy in the studio this year remixing the likes of Diddy on Interscope, and has recently signed on with the mega EDM label Ultra, his first release being "Hands" Feat Russell Taylor, the first of many Ultra releases to come this 2010!Also check out releases on Beatport.com where Charles has many releases on Labels such as Dj Dan's InStereo and La based duo Coldbank's Burn the fire.

Playing gigs from as far away as Russia for the Audi Car Company to working the crowd at 2007's Cochella Festival - Charles will be busy behind the decks for the rest of the 2010 year!
Feelgood notes "I definitely try and take the listeners on a musical journey - I like to start out slow and funky and push for a harder ending, a continuous rise."
"I'm far from a purist," he adds. "I incorporate many styles into a single set. I play everything from disco-influenced house to acapella tracks and tech house, and I especially love bootlegs and electro influenced tracks".
The consummated dance floor rocker, Feelgood sums up his musical mission in one sentence: "I just want to do what the name implies, to make people have a good time and go home with a great feeling."

***T-1000***
One of Detroit's most talented and venerated techno mixers, DJ T-1000 has been instrumental in the Motor City scene as a label-head and producer as well as DJ. Born Alan Oldham, he spent time as a graphic-design specialist and comics illustrator while studying media at Detroit's Wayne State University. Hired by Derrick May to illustrate the sleeves on a few Transmat releases, Oldham became interested in Detroit's electronic scene, and gradually transformed his Fast Forward radio program on WDET from industrial and fusion into techno. During the show's run, from 1987 to 1992, Oldham introduced thousands of area listeners to Detroit techno via productions from May, Kevin Saunderson, Juan Atkins, Underground Resistance, and Carl Craig — as well as other techno figures like Joey Beltram, Moby, 808 State, and LFO. The show ended in 1992 when an offer to tour with Underground Resistance as the replacement DJ for Jeff Mills proved too difficult to resist. Also in 1992, he formed his own Generator label, the origin of seminal releases by Oldham projects like X-313 ("Interferon", "World Sonik Domination") and TXC as well as tracks by Dave Clarke and Woody McBride. In 1996, Oldham closed Generator and opened a new label, Pure Sonik Records. He also began DJing around the world, gaining a reputation as one of the best Detroit DJs among considerable competition. The DJ T-1000 mix albums Supercollider (a Generator label retrospective) and Live Sabotage: Live in Belgium displayed his mixing genius, while his debut production full-length, Progress, appeared on Tresor in 1999. Oldham also began recording another album, for Astralwerks. In addition, he has recorded for Djax-Up-Beats (also did label artwork), Matrix, and Communique, and has done remix work for Terry Lee Brown, Jr. and the Punisher.
***DJ VENOM***
Dave Schifino, aka Dj Venom has been an ambassador DJ in the New England rave scene since the mid ninety's. He made his mark as one of the hardest working DJs by releasing a new mixed tape seemingly every month. He has released over 100 mixed tapes in entirety, and 30 mixed cds. His mixes crossed over through countless genres of electronic music, while always displaying precision mixing, and nasty turntable trickery. In 1998, Dave caught a break by dazzling a poolside crowd at the official Winter Music Conference DJ battle. It was a battle for the ages, and much to the chagrin of the witnessing crowd; he placed second to the three time DMC champ Dj Craze. Even though he placed second, that WMC showcase helped launch Dave's career on an international level, and he never looked back....
***KNOWLEDGE***
Knowledge is one of the original foundation layers for the underground dance circuit in the mid-90’s for New England. His evolving sound has taken audiences of 5 to 5000+ and turned rooms inside out worldwide.

Media such as New York Magazine (who heralded NFC in the same breath as Outkast, Three-Six Mafia and My Morning Jacket), Big Shot Magazine, Raveline, Iheartcomix, Urbnet, Confront Magazine and others praised the album roundly. The singles peppered dozens of prominent radio shows, including Josh Wink's BBC Radio-1 Essential Mix and Dave Clarke's White Noise Radio. Shortly after the departure of Alanis, Noise Floor Crew, now comprised of Foursquare and Local Hero completed a remix for Justice ("Stress or Justice") which was re-edited by Boys Noize.

24 bit whore aka Dan Efex is well known for his ability to draw a frenzied excitement out of even the mellowest of crowds. It is not uncommon to see fans packed shoulder to shoulder, hands in the air, as he leads them through an energetic and intoxicating journey on the dance floor. There are many who consider him to be one of the founders of the Midwest’s trance scene, a scene that is still strong and growing today. He was one of the first to introduce the Midwest to the soaring build-ups and powerful explosions characteristic of some of his styles of trance. But although Dan is perhaps best known for his trance, do not be fooled -- he is as diverse as he is skilled! His repertoire of past events includes sets with progressive trance, psychedelic trance, hard techno, hard core, hard house, slow breaks, tribal and ambient. He mixes it up and keeps it interesting. His unfailing ability to read the crowd and know precisely what to plug in ensures that he leaves no stragglers behind on his musical excursions.

With Special Guests...
(LIVE Performance - LA - Brainforest Productions)
We are pleased to bring you a very special live performance from the legendary skylab2000!
From large outdoor festivals in Europe and Asia, to sweaty basements on the east coast, to massives in Los Angeles, skylab2000 has long been a part of the global dance music revolution.
Urb Magazine decribesskylab2000 live performances as "incredible" and"fantastic." Dave Dresden [Gabriel & Dresden] calls the Rollergirl single "the bomb of all bombs." In the UK, Pete Tong of BBC Radio One chose the Auburn single as an "Essential Selection".
Superstar DJs such as Sasha, John Digweed, Carl Cox, Pete Tong, Taylor, John Kelly, and Keoki play skylab20000 tracks. Many releases are on top selling CDs - on great labels such as Moonshine, Koch, Journeys by DJ, Phatt Phunk, 3am Records, Brainiak, City of Angels, Genesis Project, Metronix, Starblocks and Starshagger.
On stage, it's hardware synths, samplers, mixers, and effects. Not 'laptop band'here! The music is played LIVE, changing to the crowds needs and creating a ride to remember. The current skylab2000 sound is a blend of techno, electro, hard house, nu skool breaks, acid, trance, and a sprinkle of drum n bass.
Many people ask us how skylab2000 actually does a live set. Well... he controls it all. He doesn't just stand still on stage twiddling knobs or moving a mouse around. This is all about making music live and keeping the party going full on. No DATs or backing tapes are used at all. A old laptop running a basic DOS MIDI sequencer controls a selection of synths, sound modules, software and samplers. No parts are pre-recorded on a DAT. No audio files are used. It's all mixed and mashed 100% live. No controllers, no system exclusive messages - just the notes. The synths and sampler's audio outputs all run thru effects units and controlled live onstage. Vocals and emceeing are added as needed. A sixteen channel mixer is used to do the final mix. The whole set is varied for the feel of the party, and is never exactly the same show to show.
This is definitely a performance that you do NOT want to miss.
Since the late '80s, Omar Santana has been a leader in the American brand of psychedelic break beat acid-techno scene. He has worked tons of aliases: Hard Hop Heathen, Liquid Metal, Dark Side of the Shroom, New York Terrorists, Car Jacker, Tales from the Hardside and Wizard of Oh. Santana mixed for Debbie Harry, Dynamix II, and worked at Cutting Records.
By the '90s, Santana had crossed over to the acid house music and the rave crowd with tracks like "Mr. Dynomite" (Liquid Metal), "Slamm Jamma" (New York Terrorists) and "Boy Is Banging" (DJ Oh Oh Omar Santana). His trademark "hard hop" style of acid break beat techno became common on the West Coast, and Santana helmed several mix albums for Moonshine Music, including Tricked Out, Hardhop Tricked Out and Battle for Planet of the Breaks.
But as Omar Santana, he released Heroes Of Hardcore in '98 and Battle for the Planet of the Breaks in '99. As the creator of the "hard hop" style of music, Omar Santana has been one of the key pioneers of the rave scene. His dedication to throbbing repetitive beats that make your heart race and your mind drift has always made him a crowd-pleaser, so it is with great pride that we present a rave legend.

DJ Crackerjack ( Happy Hardcore - San Francisco - Corson Agency)
Representing the harder sounds in the Bay Area for over 10 years, DJ Crackerjack has been a force to be reckoned all over the United States. He has held many regular residencies in some of the biggest San Francisco hotspots and has headlined almost every major US city; his unique sound has even infected Europe. He is an accomplished producer releasing upfront tracks with artists such as No Left Turn and Reese, and he gained national and international attention with his remix of DHT’s “Listen To Your Heart” and his infamous CD entitled “Crowd Pleaser.” Crackerjack has amassed thousands of loyal fans across the US over the last ten years, and his fan base only continues to grow.
Trevor Nygaard has quickly become recognized and respected in the club scene with his seamless mixing and undeniable energy behind the decks. His music projects his impeccable taste and passion, making it heartfelt and personal for his audience. Further setting him apart is his warm persona and humble attitude that portray Trevor’s pure love for the music and desire to share that with others.
Trevor was first introduced to the electronic music scene in 1998, influenced by prominent DJs such as Tiesto, Carl Cox, and PVD. His talent was immediately recognized as he began packing the dance floors with his deep and dirty sounds. Trevor currently holds a residency on the world’s #1 online electronic radio station, Digitally Imported. This is just one of his many musical outlets where his audience continues to grow and loyally support him.
Constantly refining his style and creativity amongst numerous subgenres, Trevor’s listeners are never disappointed and always left inspired. He projects his skills across various genres such as electro, progressive, tech and deep house, so you are guaranteed to be satisfied and grooving every time.
The Digitalist ( Dirty Electro - UK - Digitally Imported Radio)
The Digitalist has spent years focusing his energy on his music. Get ready for some of the dirtiest, grimiest electro you've ever heard! As he puts it:
"I learnt to play the piano at eight (although at first didn’t take to it), then learnt the guitar at 15, and then the drums at 17. After studying Music at College I was introduced to an even wider range of music - african beats, spanish guitar, freeform jazz, swing and also electronic music such as jungle and house. It was then that electronic music really started to take hold.
I just loved the progression, the driving basslines, the journey the tunes took me on. They put visions in my head, visions of staring out of a train window at speed - even when I wasn’t on a train(!) The music fuelled my imagination and created scenarios, events and places where I could really get off on listening to it. The imagination, the possibilities. I could close my eyes and it would take me to places without me actually needing to go there. Now, years later, I hold down a residency at the worlds biggest dance music radio network Digitally Imported (di.fm).
In love with the raw analogue sounds of early synths, I now uses everything at my disposal to create a unique and up-front DJ sound. Putting it simply, I’ve got more squelch than a fat man sticking his foot in a wellington boot filled with diarrhoea. It’s filthy sounding!"
In late August of 1998, when Gobstoppa was just 18, he began his renowned career as a DJ and MC in the Toronto rave scene. He first got behind the turntables at age 12, but Gobstoppa considered 1998 to be his first year as a DJ because that was the year he began to get gigs at various clubs and raves around the city. The whole MCing thing, well that happened by accident, but in early 1999, it really took off. By 2003, Gobstoppa had performed all over North America, while holding down residencies at the now legendary Hullabaloo! and Goodfellaz Events. He was often referred to as North-America's top Hardcore MC. Unfortunately, in late October of 2006, Gobstoppa died a horrible and tragic death.
Yet somehow, his love of music pulled him through, and he has been able to rock dance floors in his afterlife as GOBS THE ZOMBIE. Now in his 11th year as a DJ, Gobby Z is ready to show you what makes this veteran stand out from the crowd, besides his unique and strange appearance, of course. Be prepared for a performance unlike anything you have ever seen.
Tamerax (Hard Trance and Hardstyle - Montreal - Synergy Canada, Blizzard Tracks)
In a crowded sea of faceless DJs and anonymous party scenes, Tamerax has managed to separate himself from the pack, building a reputation and a following that has seen him welcomed at events across Nor th America. His sets are constructed out of only the most thunderous and intense tracks designed to drive any floor wild. Partiers instantly respond to his mix of hard trance and hardstyle, and his forays into freeform / UK hardcore have met with the same level of success.
Part of what sets Tamerax apart from other DJs is his relentless energy behind the decks. His ability to engage the crowd through his sheer passion for the music he is playing enables him to form a connection that few other perfor mers can lay claim.
Tamerax’s smooth mixing skills, track selection and devotion to his audience can be attributed to his humble beginnings as a radio DJ almost 15 years ago, spinning an eclectic mix of trance, drum and bass, rock and industrial. These early years have since shaped and influenced all of his sets. A craving for more direct contact with those who enjoyed his mixes naturally led him to the world of raves, and he began performing live in 1999. Over the years he has been privileged to play alongside some of the biggest names in the industry.
He has himself earned a respectable degree of recognition in the Ottawa scene where he was twice voted Favorite DJ by partygoers (2004 and 2008) and internationally through his featured sets on DI.fm. He has played at some of the largest Montreal and Ottawa underground events in recent history and was
featured at the Hardsound stage at the final World Electronic Music Festival in 2008.
