Lazer SwordLazer Bass? Future Blap? Aqua Crunk? While critics throw phrases around trying to figure out what the heck to call the new crunked up, synth-heavy, low-end sound boomin out the world's speakers, Lazer Sword are fiercely blazing a hip-hop trail through every genre from techno, grime and hyphy to dubstep, IDM and psych rock. San Francisco heads Antaeus Roy AKA Lando Kal and Bryant Rutledge AKA LL have been bouncing beats back and forth for the past couple years, honing their live set with original productions and fresh re-edits of current rap tunes, and getting compared to Montreal?s Megasoid, LA?s Glitch Mob and Flying Lotus, and Scotland?s Rustie and Hudson Mohawke along the way. But their sample-heavy, trigger-happy sound is all their own, and while the world waits for their first EP to drop on B.E.A.R. recordings, come hear 'em at Surya Dub and find out what it's like to get hit with the musical version of one of those lightning bolts from Mariokart, the kind that blows the competition away and makes you feel bad ass while doing it.
Monkeytekhails from the great NW of Portland OR and has been DJing for over 12 years. His style is anchored by dub vibes and dread bass, oldskool jungle and dub and so... dubstep. He also co-runs LoDubs Records and Various, Portland's premier night of bassheavy music, alongside his pal Ryan Organ (Aleutian Audio). Monkeytek & Ryan Organ hold down the night monthly and since it's inception in December 2006, Various has featured appearances by DZ, Deville, Struggle & DJ Collage, 6BLOCC aka R.A.W., Kode9, Starkey, E3, Coda, Jon A.D., Dial M, Alter Echo, E.R.S. One, SPL, Noah D, Kyle T., Rubik, The Bassist & Mecca. He can also be found on the airwaves hosting a show on Sub FM. SD welcomes Monkeytek back to his NoCal roots and to rock SD. Check out his mixes at http://pdxindub.com/.
Green B It was the release of Buju's Til Shiloh in 1995 that hooked this selecta on dancehall music. Her appetite could not be satisified, whether buying mixcds on Venice Beach or listening to all the big 45's coming out of JA with her mentors in Boston, Green B's love of reggae music could not be laid to rest. Addicted to keeping up on all the new reggae/dancehall riddims & moving the dance floor on the regular, Green B loves bringing the irie vibes. She is on constant rotation in the Bay Area, holding down multiple weeklies: Coo-Yah! @ Brunos, Church @ Il Pirata, as well as a monthly joint, OneLove, every second Friday @ Poleng. Lace up her schedule with mad appearances at pretty much every reggae party in the Bay, and you got yourself a lady who's in full production...BOOM!
