DJ ABSTRACT
(Pneuma/Formation/Breakbeat Science/San Fran)
Abstract is widely considered to be one of the most influential players in the United States drum and bass scene - from throwing the seminal Bay Area weekly "Energi" to DJing with Phunckateck Communications to starting his own label Pneuma Recordings, Alex has dedicated all his spare energy and time into helping to forge what is now one of the nation's strongest scenes in San Francisco. Over the nine years of his career, Alex has become famous for his seamless mixing, impeccable track selection, and his ability to move any crowd (an ability that has brought him dj inquiries from all over the United States and as far away as Ireland, Denmark, Costa Rica, Ukraine, Sweden, Puerto Rico, and Russia), but these days he's also known as one of the US's most well-respected producers. He has an impressive discography including releases on Subtitles, New Identity, Breakbeat Science, Formation, Rawkus, Moonshine, Pneuma and many many more. Fans of his tracks include DJ SS, Blame, Goldie, and Fabio, and he has collaborated with noted artists such as TeeBee, Calibre, and UFO!.
In addition to his well-established career as one of the top names in the US Drum and Bass scene, Abstract has been making noise in the 2step, Breakbeat, Techouse, Electroclash and Broken Beat scenes as of late, with releases on numerous labels including DJ Deekline's Rat Records, Dj Hell's International Gigolo Records, Vehicle, OM/Colourforms, Verde, Sub Funk, Non Stop, Pallette, Marc 4 Hero's Twisted Funk imprint, and many more. Get ready for a serious throwdown of skills and tunes!!!
ANGUS ROBINSON
(Release/Toronto)
Angus Robinson
Having put his first needle to record in front of a live crowd while a student at Western University in London, Canada back in 1998, it's taken Angus Robinson a very short time indeed to climb the breakbeat ranks of his hometown of Toronto and, for that matter, all of Canada.
In his DJing career, Angus has held residencies at Turbo (Funglejunk Tuesdays), Limelight (Lift Wednesdays), Fever in Hamilton (Backbreakers Fridays), Milano's (B-Line Thursdays), Lush in London (Throwdown Wednesdays), Tonic (FTWK Wednesdays), The Blue Room in London (Aftershock Wednesdays), Bauhaus (3D Saturdays), as well as a prestigeous residency with Breathe/Futurized at System Soundbar that saw Angus play alongside such DJs as Meat Katie, Koma & Bones, Jody of Way out West, DJ Hyper, Starecase, and more.
In October 2002, Angus launched Futurized Radio on New York's protonradio.com, and it instantly became a hit amongst Proton's listener base, as well as breakbeat enthusiasts from all over the world.
What's in store for the future? Angus plans to start up a record label very soon (with what little free time he has), which will focus on his own productions alongside other up-and-coming breakbeat talent... and of course... he'll be knocking 'em dead on the dancefloor with his highly acclaimed combination funky & nu school breaks.
