Feb 16 / 07 - The Drum & Bass Liberation Front Tour - DJ's , MC's & LIVE PA @ CYBER

Ruff House Community and Sasquatch Drummer are proud to present a MASSIVE drum & bass event:







February 16
DNBLF Drum and Bass Liberation Front Tour


Two drum kits, 3 computers, 3 keyboards, 1 guitar, 2 CDJ's, 2 turntables, 2 mc's and 6 performers. This is the DnB Liberation Front, The DNBLF. The tour, a first of this kind for the drum and bass industry in America, does away with the traditional time slotted, dj dominated events, by providing audiences with an actual performance based show. Mixing live instrumentation, dj’ing, and Mc’ing into a mish mash styled event.


featuring:



INFILTRATA

(Tekdbz / Barcode / TOV - LA,CA)
www.myspace.com/infiltratadj


Infiltrata's diverse strengths as a Dj/producer haven taken him to various parts of Europe and just about every city stateside worthy enough to host quality drum & bass events.His uncanny ability to control minds behind the decks is comparable to his dancefloor shattering productions with his energy levels being highly contagious in all his creative outputs.
Following a breakout year with releases on Barcode , TOV , Cymbalism and many more , Infiltrata is primed to show Vancouver his infamous west coast sound. Don't forget to wear your dance shoes cuz Infiltrata's gonna rinse you out!!



MASON

(Gasm / Freak / Renegade Hardware - Philadelphia, PA)
www.myspace.com/masonswarm


“I live, eat and breath DnB, when my sweat falls off my forehead it falls to the ground like subsonic charges. I’m not just in this shit for the money and fame, I’m in it cause I love it. I can’t stop thinking about it. Everything around me revolves around beats and bass. I’m always striving to learn more, make more and hear more and to be the best at what I do. I just want to do the shit that makes me happy. I’m determined and passionate about everything I do, I put 200% into it. Rougher and Harder.” - Mason


Hailing from the area known as South Philly, the home of the legendary heavyweight, Rocky Marciano, Mason aka Myster Mason is as intense as anyone could be. This strength of character and no nonsense approach to life is the fuel to Mason’s powerful production style. With releases on Freak, Eastside, Intasound and the monumental signing to Metalheadz, Mason has exploded into the international arena.


Mason began djing in March 1998 with the most basic set up ( a belt driven Gemini, an old ass technic w/o a pitch-shift and a 2 channel mixer that barely even worked) . Within less than 6 months Mason quickly caught the attention of some of the leading promoters in the east coast, and landed his first gig at Space. From that point on there was no looking back and Mason quickly established his position as one of the top drum and bass djs in the east coast.
It was not soon after that Mason took it to the next level. After seeing his mix tapes perform amazing sales numbers, Mason ventured into the world of production. Philadelphia, having a strong musical history and culture, was the perfect environment for a budding composer. Outside of drum and bass the likes of Beenie Siegle, The Roots, Jill Scott, Jazzy Jeff and more were developing into fantastic talents. Drum and Bass in Philadelphia was not to be left behind. The city boasted of the biggest and best line-ups that could be found anywhere in North America. Each week you could hear and see the baddest of dnb talent and being an integral part of the scene, allowed Mason to interact and feed from the most brilliant in the industry.
Mason is not only a musician but also an artist. His work is featured each year at the annual Mummer’s parade. This talent was used to design the environment and decorations for the events produced by Local 13 where he is the production manager.
Although Mason has totally immersed himself in the world of drum and bass, he has maintained a strong connection with the rest of the world. Like every Philadelphian, Mason has a fond love for hip hop and some future projects include work with the Mental Sharp. His tastes in music extend to rock, dancehall and house. He draws from each love to create a powerful and unique sound. His versatility and experience allow him to dj energy driven sets for masses of 5000 people to intimate events for even 50. Come witness the heavyweight sound as Mason steps up a notch for Vancity!




DSTAR

(Metalheadz / Gasm - Philadelphia,PA)
www.myspace.com/thedstar


Dstar is known for his crushing collaborations with Mason & Trust (forming SWARM) that brought forth releases on labels such as Metalheadz, Freak, Intasounds, Bad Habits, and Eastside. Stay tuned for some huge solo, and collaborative, releases on Metalheadz, Human, Ohm Resistance, and Swarm’s very own GASM Recordings. This Philadelphian native has made quite a name for himself, and with the U.S. now in the forefront of the DnB movement this guy is on the frontline. Ears perked when the March 05’ cover cd of Knowledge magazine where Klute launches the cover mix with Dstar’s anthem “IF”; the historic 1st release of the Metalheadz Americas series. His latest material has been described as “infectious and brilliant”. This extremely sovereign talent is unparalleled, so get ready to be taken on a trip through the full spectrum of drum & bass when Dstar touches down!

MC ARMANNI

(Mental Sharp / Metalheadz / Tekdbz - Philadelphia, PA)
www.myspace.com/mentalsharp





After spending six continuous months as 103.9FM's freestyle champion, MC Armanni decided he needed a change. The cutthroat and ghetto style of the hip hop industry had given Armanni chills and it was time to switch things up.


His introduction to drum and bass was an experience shared by many first timers; Sutpens' Jungle, February 2000. His first mixtape was "DJ SS live at Sutpen's Jungle" on which the vocal skills of MC Skibadee gave Armanni insight to the lyrical potential of drum and bass. Sighting MC Skibadee as one of his influences, Armanni has developed a distinctly powerful and diverse style of lyrical delivery which has garnered respect amongst his peers as well many of the top dnb mcs and djs in the World. Staying true to his hip hop roots, Armanni delivers bounce, flavor and lyrical wizardry.


2003 was a fantastic year for MC Armanni. Not only was he nominated Best Breakthrough MC at the Knowledge Drum and Bass awards, Armanni also became the official Metalheadz Americas MC. He is undoubtedly the most well known lyricist in drum and bass with his popularity surpassing the once indominatable forces of Skibadee, GQ and Dynamite. With releases already on Freak, Intasound and forthcoming Area 51 and Metalheadz Americas, MC Armanni has set his sights on the grand realm.


Armanni performs with many of the top dnb artists at almost all the top shows. Residencies include Bassrush (LA), Platinum, DJ Series, Heavy Duty, Metalheadz, Ultraworld at Sonar and Destination. He has amazed crowds at the World of Drum and Bass, Electric Daisy Carnival, DJ Series, Starscape, Buzz and Ultra. Armanni tours with the likes of Goldie, Dj Rap, Kenny Ken, Ray Keith, DJ Craze, Dieselboy and is frequently sequestered to mc exclusively for many other top djs in the industry.


Having completed his first long play project, "On and Poppin" with MC Sharpness, Armanni is ready to expand his performance repertoire. His vocals are featured on hits of 2004 such as "Ruff, Rugged and Raw", "Enter the Hive" mix cd . Already his release schedule for 2005 is setting a frenzy in the industry with tracks such as "Uk to Stateside" on Formation, " Fahrenheit 215" on Photek's 51st , "P.H.I.L.L.Y" , Pergatory and a full length hip hop album to be released on Photek's new label. As the duo, MentalSharp, Armanni and Sharpness will perform live hip hop sets of original material. Thus far, performances by Mentalsharp have received fantastic reviews and future shows are set to raise the bar even higher!
