Nebakaneza
http://soundcloud.com/nebakaneza
This masked DJ has created quite the splash in the Bay Area dubstep scene. Since crawling out of the shadows in January of 2010 and joining the Irie Cartel crew, he has put out countless mixes, been in various publications, and helped start Ritual, one of the largest reoccurring dubstep events on the West Coast. He is a dubstep DJ with a wide range of styles from the ragga joints, to the sexy sub bass sounds, to the nasty filth, or the UK uptempo style. You may have seen him at the Emissions campout, the Dub Fillmore festival, the Elements campout, Camp Questionmark's stage at Burning Man, or opening for Borgore and Caspa. This phantom is showing no signs of slowing down and is forever expanding his style, and his passion for bass is infectious
The name comes from King Nebuchadnezzar II who was an evil ruler of ancient Babylon, and who built the Hanging Gardens. Eventually he was exiled and spent 7 years in the wilderness wandering the land like a beast. There are many rumors about the mask, no one knows the truth.

Johnny 5
http://soundcloud.com/johnny5dubstep
If you reside in Northern California and frequent dubstep/bass music events, you almost certainly recognize the face behind the layers of wobbling bass, crunchy drums, and hypnotic melodies. An Oakland, CA resident, by way of Chicago, Johnny5 cut his teeth as an MC and hip-hop producer in both cities, sharing stages with the likes of independent legends T...ypical Cats as well as major acts including Raekwon and Devin the Dude.
In May of 2010 he co-founded San Francisco's most popular dubstep weekly, "Ritual Dubstep," every Thursday, starting at Anu bar, now residing in the catacombs at Temple night club, and soon transitioning to an exciting new SF location). This event unexpectedly blossomed from a small, intimate party, featuring mainly locals, into the largest weekly dubstep event on the West Coast. Ritual has hosted international heavyweights such as N-Type and Coki, as well as California heavy hitters such as Minnesota and Megalodon.
In March 2013, Johnny5 put out his first official release as a producer, the "Thuggin" EP (Irie Cartel Recordings), which is a collaborative effort with LA/SF producer Trevor Kelly. The EP features a diverse array of bass-heavy sounds, including filth ("XJ-13"), 808/rap ("O'Gizza" feat. Ro Knew), and a room-shaking trap version of the aforementioned "O'Gizza," remixed by rising star Taso.

Max Ohm
http://soundcloud.com/max-ohm-dubs
A staple in Madison and the Midwest E.D.M. scenes for well over a decade, Max has taken his vast experience and talent of being a great house dj, and slid it seamlessly to the newly emerging sounds of dubstep. Behind the one's and two's, his knowledge of beat structure and flawless mixing can be felt accross the dancefloor. As a producer, Max blends the best of both worlds, giving his listeners the "percussive" feeling of house, and transposing it into the rich, thick bass rides and rhythms of dubstep. Look for his release on Betamorph with Teksteppa (UK) for a truly unique and tastefully pleasing sound.

Funboi
http://soundcloud.com/funboinoli
Funboi Noli, AKA WickedDecentHigh5: talk about a music megalomaniac, this guy has been swimming the waters of beats and rhythm his entire life.
As a youth Noli participated in a myriad of different bands, from metal to ska, reggae to jam – his hunger for sound was eclectic and insatiable.With a clear future in music he enrolled in The New England Art Institute and ploughed through a degree in Audio Engineering during which he produced a full hip-hop album for the Howard Stern show on Sirius Radio (Artie Lang also featured a few songs on his live comedy DVD and Comedy Central).
About a year ago, he was exposed to the addicting vibrations of electronic music and has since been experimenting with Reason & Logic creating lengthy, complex beats that strike different chords within the emotional spectrum. Each song is a journey of feeling . . . evocative, and more importantly, fun.
Noli, a New Hampshire native, now resides in SF. He can be found doing backflips at Ocean Beach, snapping his neck off at a show, or hunched over his computer tweaking songs to perfection. If futuristicelectronicfunkhaus had a rookie of the year award, Funboi Noli would undoubtedly receive it. Check his latest drops here and be on the lookout for more to come.
