Skylab 2000 - Live PA - Moonshine/Brain Forest/Adrenaline Am - LA

You know those times when everyone is looking to see who's on stage and what's being done up there? Everyone stops and says "who is that?" The answer is often skylab2000.

skylab2000 is not a DJ or a 'laptop' band. This is a 100% LIVE electronic music performance. With a full set of synths, samplers, a mixer and a computer onstage, a skylab2000 show is a unique experience. This music is made live, with live vocals, changing to the crowds needs and creating a ride to remember.

Where did it start? Since 1994, Dennis Barton has been traveling city to city as skylab2000 playing his brand of hard hitting dance music. Hard house, acid breaks, progressive, techno, and a little bit of trance are part of the skylab2000 sound.

With a father from Detroit and mother from Belgium, he's got dance music in his blood. Growing up in New York in disco's heyday, then moving to the UK and experiencing it's early rave scene, sealed his fate as a electronic music composer.

Los Angeles is now home base, but it's rare to find skylab2000 at home. The world is his living room, where most weekends he's off playing an event. Worldwide, skylab2000 has played Japan, Hong Kong, Istanbul, Russia, Puerto Rico, Montreal, Canada, Molvania, Mexico and more. Here at home, skylab2000 has played in 45 of the 50 states including Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, Dallas, Miami, Las Vegas, Anchorage and so many more.

Playing live is the main focus, but this energy is also recorded and released on CD or vinyl. The US release of 'Auburn' included the first ever remix by LA's Taylor. In the UK, Journeys by DJ released alternate UK mixes, getting a huge reaction, including a prestigious leading spot on Pete Tong's BBC Radio One Essential Selection. Auburn has been played heavily by DJs such as Sasha, Carl Cox, Keoki and Pete Tong.

On the seminal mp3.com music site, two skylab2000 tracks became the number one most downloaded songs overall. On that site alone, skylab2000 songs clocked just under one million downloads!

You can find skylab2000 tracks on mix CDs by Thomas Michael, Superstar DJ Keoki, Grover, DJ Psycho-Bitch, John Kelly, Sol Brothers, and Taylor, on labels such as Moonshine, JDJ, Phatt Phunk, 3am Records, Brainiak (UK), City of Angels, Koch, Genesis Project, and many more.
