DJ LOVE BIO AS RELEASED ON WWW.STELLARMUSIC.COM

DJ Love began his musical career inspired by such seminal artists as Kraftwerk, Soulsonic Force, Egyptian Lover, Art of Noise, Paul Hardcastle and a host of other electronic and hip-hop pioneers. Electronic music fascinated him as a means of expressing raw emotion through beats, breaks and basslines.

Having been trained as a classical pianist and violinist, then augmenting his skills by learning the guitar and drums in high school, Love´s musical training gave him strengths as an electronic composer from the start. Developing a small record collection his first few years of college, he was inspired by the fact that most of the music he felt was truly influential was only available on vinyl. In 1998 he made a conscious decision to start writing music, but was unsure of his style.

A live performance of "Rockit" by the legendary Herbie Hancock and Grandmaster DST changed his perspective when he witnessed someone scratching over a track live. Experimenting with his small collection,
he taught himself to beat mix almost by accident. Attempting a remix of "What´s On Your Mind" by Information Society led to beatmixing a record and a drum machine together, and his DJ career was born. Confined to the small town of Lawton, Oklahoma, Love would often drive two hours or more to find the music and crowds that inspired him. He recreated scratches from his favorite hip-hop records by trial and error until he had mastered them, then began playing out at local clubs in 1988. In 1992, he threw the first-ever renegade "rave" in the OKC area, employing the old-school techniques of maps, an abandoned warehouse and a generator. This was all while he began a four-year residency at Rome, where he was given his DJ moniker of "Love".

The income and gigs allowed him to acquire his own set of turntables, a mixer, and his first real music studio in 1994...six years after he had already started his DJ career. His love of real hip-hop and artists like DJ Premier and Pete Rock, among others, helped him focus on bass and beats as the sound that would define his label, Stellar Music, founded in 1996.

By 1994, Love had developed a foothold in the Dallas music scene, and in 1997 moved there permanently. With a residency at club mainstay the Lizard Lounge in 1998, he achieved a following of those dedicated to old and new beats that followed him to such respected local hot spots as 826, The Red Jacket, The Wall, Club DNA, Starck, Euphoria, Area 51. Love has gained a following across the globe in cities like Toronto, London, D.C., Seoul...and the dent hasn't even been made yet.

Today, Stellar Music is a full-on breakbeat label dedicated to bringing quality music comprised of funk-filled grooves with real hip-hop flavor to dance floors worldwide.

B.Traits bio

To simply mix two records can be accomplished easily by almost anyone, but to put the dance floor into a hypnotic state of movement and emotional backlash is an art form all to itself. This art form has quickly been mastered by Vancouver BC's youngest female DJ, B Traits.

Born and raised in Nelson BC, Traits discovered more than the low-level party scene, she breached her creative soul and found a turntable and a pair of headphones amongst the boring lifestyle of her small hometown. With an extensive music background, she was constantly exposed to the right people who inspired her to pursue her infatuation with underground music.

Traits created a well-known name for herself in Nelson, where she frequently stunned audiences and dance floors with her unique style and sound, a brilliant compilation of Drum and Bass and Hip-Hop. With Nelson BC acting as a cell, Traits planned an eventual jailbreak that landed her in Vancouver.

It didn't take long for the Vancouver Drum and Bass scene to notice, and embrace Traits. Her eclectic, yet emotional style of chaos and desire fused with the heavy beats of Drum and Bass have made Traits a mainstay in the underground music community. With such a short history in Drum n Bass, B Traits's worldwide audience has stretched from the west coast of North America, to Eastern Europe.
