UBERZONE
Nitrus – TCR – Moonshine – Distinctive – Functional – AM Only - CA
Uberzone is the brainchild of southern California native Q (named after the gizmo-loving James Bond character). Like his namesake, Uberzone is a die-hard collector of all things electronic and has been collecting electronic-music gear since his early teens. Spin Magazine named Uberzone as one of the six producers to create "the biggest beats ever” and he has also been featured in the electronic music documentary ‘Better Living Through Circuitry”.
His early singles, "Botz" and "The Freaks", released on taste-maker indie dance label City of Angels, were critically acclaimed club tracks that established Q as one of the leading American producers of break-beat music. These singles were charted consistently by DJs like Florida's DJ Icey and the UK's Adam Freeland, among others. His remixes of Sarah McLachlan, The Crystal Method and BT also established him as one of the biggest names in the American dance scene.
In 1999 he collaborated with Afrika Bambaataa "The Godfather of Hip-Hop" from Soul Sonic Force on the electro breaks driven anthem "2 Kool 4 Skool" and has also toured extensively with acts such as The Crystal Method. His debut album "Faith In The Future" was released on Astralwerks in 2001 and was followed up in 2002 by "The Digital Mix" on Moonshine and the "Uberzone Y4K" mix CD on Distinctive Breaks. Uberzone is currently on tour in support of his full-length “Ideology” album release on Nitrus/Equation Records which is in stores now.
Tonight, he will be showcasing his digital mix which involves midi controllers, trigger fingers and small drum pads. For more information visit http://www.myspace.com/uberzone
WAVEWHORE
Broke Recordings - BreaksFM - Electrofly Records - BombTraxx – Nexus Artists - NYC
With releases on high profile record labels such as Broke, BreaksFM, Electrofly and BombTraxx, New York City based Wavewhore is quickly building a reputation as one to watch in the global breakbeat community. His skills behind the decks have also led to headlining appearances across the US and in Europe and he has appeared on BBC Radio 1 London, KISS FM London, WKTU 103.5 FM New York and Sirius Satellite Radio. In addition, Wavewhore is a resident at the Sullivan Room, one of New York City’s premier underground venues, and he regularly hosts ‘The Audio Tactics Sessions’ on the Breakspoll award-winning BreaksFM internet station (www.breaksfm.com).
Wavewhore has been called a “breakbeat master” by Liquid Todd (Sirius Satellite Radio) and “one of the USA’s finest breakbeat DJ/producers” by Jay Cunning (KISS FM London) while www.breakbeatonline.com described him as “NYC’s finest export since the Beastie Boys”. He began his career as a heavy metal guitarist performing in clubs while he was still in high school and his first electronic release dates back to 1992. His cutting edge music has received high level support from many of the top names in the business including Aquasky, General Midi, DJ Icey, The Autobots, The Freestylers, Elite Force, Drumattic Twins and many more. As a musician, he stands apart in his ability to produce a wide variety of styles within the breaks genre with quality results. His diversity in production also carries into his DJ sets which blend many styles of breaks from funk to bassline to tech into powerful and effective mixes that whip the dance floor into a frenzy.
Wavewhore’s name is derived from his addiction to manipulating audio waveforms and from all appearances he promises to be an inspiring force in electronic dance music. For more information visit www.myspace.com/wavewhore

EVA
DADEaBASS - RObnSteel - Kimchee Love – Los Angeles CA
Eva’s east coast roots have helped her mould her taste in dark, dirty and raw breaks, which consistently inhabit her crate. With a little help from her friends, she’s been pulled (somewhat) out of the shadows and has found some salvation in the funk, without giving up her evil roots… or her undying dedication to the heavy bass. Her stylized selections have brought her to audiences around the nation including New York, Chicago, Florida, New Mexico, her hometown of Boston and all throughout California, including holding weekly residencies at The Room in Hollywood and The Little Rock in the SVF, as well as a monthly residency at Star Shoes Hollywood as one half of her other musical project, the electro duo Kimchee Love. Check her as she continues to play for sweaty crowds across the nation.
