REID SPEED (N.Y.C.) Tuesday May 23
Automatic Presents:
REID SPEED BREAKBEAT SCIENCE/TWENTYHZ/N.Y.C.    http://www.reidspeed.com/ The first female junglist to emerge on the NYC scene back in 1997, Reid Speed quickly made a name for herself with residencies at drum & bass weeklies Camouflage, Direct Drive, and as a member of the infamous Stuck On Earth crew, at the biggest rave events in New York. By 1998, after landing a job at legendary drum & bass store Breakbeat Science and sending out hundreds of mixtapes, she began touring the US, playing alongside every UK drum & bass producer/DJ from Aphrodite to Zinc as well as holding her own alongside headliners of all genres. Fast forward to 2001, Reid released her first licensed mix CD, "Resonance" on Breakbeat Science Recordings. A 40 date tour sponsored by Mixer Magazine followed and her fire started to catch on. She began garnering praise and a whole bunch of new fans. Upon wrapping that tour Reid packed up her life to move west. But she could not rest, instead, she jumped on a 30 date bus tour with breakbeat kings Ming & FS. She became a press favorite, winning accolades like the Fader and Flyer Magazine's "Best Of" 2001 lists, Urb's "Jungle Stars" of 2002, and many more hard-earned accolades. In 2003 she followed up her well-received debut with the smashing "Life After Dark", her unique interpretation of a dancefloor drum & bass set. Coinciding with this release she was tapped by Triple 5 Soul to model their fall 2003 campaign alongside Jean Grae, Charlie Dark & Peanut Butter Wolf. Then, in an exciting twist of fate she won the part of the 2003/2004 on-air DJ for the Jamie Kennedy Experiment in a closed round of auditions against dozens of all-male, all hip-hop & scratch DJs. For the show she was able to introduce drum & bass to network television! (and not in a car commercial). From this she was tapped to shoot one episode of the short-lived MDN on men's network Spike TV. As fun as all that was, Reid has never lost sight of what she loves to do. Her genuine goal in life is to keep rocking out sick tunes on ever-more-massive soundsystems, to ever-more fun loving crowds!
