STAGE ONE
From LA.
BODIE
-Betamorph Recordings, Section 8 Recordings, and Subdepth (UK)
AKA. dj Mainframe[-Foul Play -X13 Recordings-DnBRadio.com-Jungle Riddims
Bodie, the dubstep alias of veteran Jungle/DNB Producer-DJ Mainframe, was created in 2009. His deep bass, hip hop influenced drum work, and colorful use of ghetto whistles have labeled his dubstep as “G step”. It comes as no surprise that the music being made is so full and smooth, Bodie is a native West Coast resident, based in Los Angeles, and has been making Drum N Bass music since 2000.
In the ten years Bodie has been known to the scene as an innovative junglist, Mainframe, his persona has had five vinyl releases from labels that include Jungle Riddim, Foul Play and X13 Recordings.
Mainframe’s mental reign was powerful, taking the Producer-DJ on three European tours, numerous venues all over the country including urbane spots like Miami, New York City, and San Francisco.
The alias Bodie may be built over a well traveled professional, but it is his West Coast base that keeps the ideas floating fresh. With a kindred connection to the So Cal Drum N Bass scene, inspiration is never hard to find. Bodie can frequently be found collaborating with fellow California based DJ, IRay, aka IDro. 40z n 9z, their most recent project, makes regular appearances on his weekly aired radio show, “Tha Armory” found on DnBRadio.com and will soon have a release out through Betamorph Recordings.
Solo, Bodie has been recognized by labels that include Section 8 Dub, Betamorph, and Jungle Riddim’s Department of Dub.

JOHNNY 5(Dub Mansion, Irie Cartel, True Skool)
Although you might not recognize the face behind the layers of wobbling bass, crunchy drums, and hypnotic melodies, it's safe to say that Johnny5 is no stranger to the spotlight. An Oakland, CA resident, by way of Chicago, Johnny cut his teeth as an MC and hip-hop producer in both cities, sharing stages with the likes of independent legends Typical Cats as well as major acts including Raekwon and Devin the Dude.
Upon moving to Oakland in 2005, Johnny5 began to take in the diverse, quickly evolving sounds pulsating throughout the Northern California music scene. Already having an extensive background in hip-hop, reggae, and electronic music, it was only natural that Johnny would embrace the dubstep genre and begin to cultivate his own sound, taking elements from each of these musical cultures. After a series of mixes that remained vastly unheard, the world began to take notice after his first official release, "Johnny 5 Alive."
Armed with his trusty APC 40, vast collection of rare and exclusive tracks, and uncanny ability to read a crowd's mood, Number 5 is ready to spread his unique blend of filthy bass music styles to dance floors and festivals around the West Coast and worldwide!

PHREEK D {Phatwire Ent/Funkside Family Rec}PDX
http://www.myspace.com/phreekd
Phreek D's journey began in '93 after going to his first party and over the next few years really fell in love with the vibe
of making people dance. After a couple years watching his favorite DJs like Doc Martin, Terry Mullin, Derrick Carter and a
few other he finally got his own decks and started spinning in '97 and that is where it all began to build. By '99 Phreek D
started playing regular local shows openning and closeing for many top notch Northwest DJs and had residency at 2 of
Portlands underground afterhours clubs (The Studio & The State) '99 thru '01. After playing show til '02 Phreek D decided to
take a break to pursue learning the trade of event productions mainly in the rock-n-roll biz. Getting to work with some of
the top Bands in the world and seeing how and what it takes to throw an event Phreek D knew he wanted to do more than just DJ
put to throw top quality shows. When givin the chance to DJ on the Dew Action Sport Tour in '07 Phreek D quickly regained his
love for moving a dance floor and knew he wanted to DJ for a large show again.
Now it has been more than 2 years since Phreek D teamed up with one of his old partners 3 Peace from Funkside Family to throw
their first show in early '08 called "Love Spell" with Lea Luna as the headliner. In the last 2 years it as been non stop for
Phreek D bangin out the Fidget House at show after show. After a 5 year retirement Phreek D has built a fan base with the new
school party kids faster than any Northwest DJ has ever done. Playing most of Ground Breaking Events shows for the last 2
years like "Rave to tha Grave","Together","Big Bang Theory 2","Green","Utopia 3","School Of Hard Beats","Rave to tha Grave 2"
& "Nintechno 2" and headling couple other shows form other Promoters. Now Phreek D has turned it up a notch by teaming up
with Phatwire Entertainment to throw there very first party "Nightmare after Valentines" w/ Quack Quack from SLC and it was a
huge success. Setting his sights forward Phreek D is now about to venture into producing tracks and working on sharing his
grove to the World! __________________
