.:. REID SPEED (LA) .:.
(Play Me)
Reid Speed has been a dancefloor destroyer for over a decade, and is second to none when it comes to heavy bass music rinseouts of all genres. She currently runs Play Me Records and Play Me Too, the United States' leading dubstep, drumstep and bass-of- all- genres labels while holding down a full production and tour schedule. As one of the first US DJs to champion speed garage & 2 step (which have become todays's fidget house and dubstep), her new label's quick rise to the top of the dance charts reflects her continually forward thinking musical evolution.
Reid started out in the New York City underground working behind the counter at the legendary Breakbeat Science store, holding residencies with Stuck on Earth, Direct Drive & Camouflage while in college at the School of Visual Arts. Drum and bass at the start, she was soon was seduced by the sounds of 2 step and speed garage and began DJing full time, producing tracks and throwing her own events. Signing to Breakbeat Science's label in 2001, she released her first mix "Resonance" to much critical acclaim, and successfully followed it up with 2003's "Life After Dark." On subsequent tours with Om artists Ming & FS and Colette she honed her precise genre mashing mixing skills and developed a synergy with her crowds that is unmatched. With both her and her label's tunes and mixes getting dropped around the world every day, this girl's musical outreach and undeniable popularity will only continue to expand.

.:. CYBEROPTICS (CA) .:.
(Play Me)
A young producer taking the dubstep world by storm; at age 19, Alex Epps aka Cyberoptics first made his big smash into the scene with his release "Geisha" on PLAY ME Records. Released in May of 2010, Geisha climbed to number 1 on Beatport.com and held it's place in the top 5 for over a month, battling producers such as Borgore and Doctor P.
Hailing from Memphis TN, Cyberoptics is greatly influenced by the dirty south but also the wide varietys of electronic music aswell. With a unique style of different themes, deep sludge bass and heavy sub, it's almost impossible not to move your body to these alien sounding bass tones!
Cyber's latest 4 track release from Play Me Records: "The Tie Fighter EP" exploded onto the Beatport top 20 with songs "Pimpin" hitting #3, "Geisha VIP" right behind at #4, and "Tie Fighter" and "Toasty" topping out at 14 and
17.
Currently Cyberoptics is hard at work on a full length album, touring with Play Me heroes Reid Speed & FS, and working closely with other producers such as Liquid Stranger, Quartus Saul, Dayn, Chrispy, Robokop and F3tch.

.:. FS (NY) .:.
(Play Me)
FS is an American producer, composer, DJ and musician based out of Brooklyn, New York. He continues his bass music odyssey with a string of chart topping dubstep hits, including Both ‘Yup' & ‘Touch O Klass' hitting #1 on Beatport’s Top 100 Dubstep chart, and ‘Shake Dat Ass’ hitting #4. True to his signature sound, FS delivers electro-glitch-ridden and intricately woven sound spheres, loaded with distinct, bass-driven production. He gained critical acclaim in the EDM scene with his ground breaking band Ming + FS, releasing the seminal album Hell’s Kitchen on Om Records. Soon after he founded record label and creative agency, Patriarch Recordings, producing indie artists and scoring music for movie trailers, TV and film.
----------
Renowned Writer/Producer/Artist/DJ Frederick Anthony Sargolini, a.k.a. FS, began DJ’ing and playing piano and guitar at age 10. His fascination with electronics and music began while constructing his first home-built mixer out of an Atari, spare circuitry and a few switches, and he soon after established a reputation as a producer and composer for local New York City artists. By age 16, deals were in place with Polygram/Universal Records and Chrysalis Music Publishing, and within a few years he was hired by Character Music to write and produce for major-label soul/R&B acts including Carl Thomas, Soul 2 Soul and Brandy.
After co-founding Ming+FS, and releasing four, full-length albums and over thirty 12" singles, he launched Patriarch Recordings, his production, artist/brand development and creative agency. Placements include TV, film, video games and advertising: CSI, Weeds, Entourage, Sony, Stomp The Yard, The Real World, as well as over 50 different TV shows and films. FS discovered, developed and produced Kirsten Price for Columbia Records, including her hit ‘Magic Tree’ Tree’ featured on the L Word, and he produced and co-Wrote ‘Nice For Me’, the forthcoming single for Hip Hop legend Greg Nice's new album. Recently, he composed and created music for the Middle Men trailer released on Paramount Pictures, and his original score for the new Tyler Perry’s Madea’s Big Happy Family trailer can be heard this spring and purchased on Itunes.
FS has shared the stage with the likes of Sting, The Roots, St. Germain, Run-DMC, Burning Spear, A Tribe Called Quest, and Moby, and has toured the world playing festivals such as Coachella, Mount Fuji Rock, ACA World Sound Festival, Audiotistic, Sundance Film Festival, and more. A pop culture aficionado, his studio companions are a muted TV, flickering images of Adult Swim and Family Guy, and the sounds of New York City (sirens, crashes, and car horns) pouring in through an open window. At its core, this urban perspective represents the bedrock of his musical and artistic process, and is the key to his ability to create in a unique but accessible way.

.:. AUTOAXON (CHI) .:.
(Mana Collective)
AutoAxon is a self-evolving, single-celled cybernetic organism. His father was a computer virus and his mother was a cyborg assasin disguised as a geisha. In the depths of a drunken depression after his plans for Y2K didn't work out, he put his destructive knowledge of electronic clocks to positive use in music and adopted Ableton Live in the year 2001. Despite his opposition to the Afghan and Iraq wars, he inserted a logical imprint of himself into US missile guidance software (outsourced to China) and smuggled himself into Chicago. After taking human form, he began performing live at events in Missouri, Wisconsin, Indiana, Kentucky, and of course Chicago. After hearing the new dubstep sounds coming out of the UK, AutoAxon knew he had found a style of music that offered limitless creative potential, and he immersed himself in that style of production and performance. His live performance is a ribcage shattering mashup of his own tracks, collaborations with other artists, glitched out hip hop, and any music that pushes sub frequencies to their limits.
AutoAxon's love for electronic music, visual art, and technology has made him an integral player in Chicago's underground music culture. Whether he's performing, designing flyers, developing new technology to further the connections between electronic music lovers, throwing events with the Mana Collective, or collaborating with others on their events, AutoAxon always brings his forward-thinking and passionate attitude.
