**Switchup** 11-12

http://www.soundcloud.com/switchup
Though born and raised on the east coast, Switchup somehow found himself melting dancefloors on the west coast. With a musical history rooted deep in metal, and nearly 10 years of experience on guitar, Switchup entered the EDM scene when a friend introduced him to dubstep. The heavy beats, the bone-crushing drops, and that iconic "wob wob wob" inspired him to begin DJing. From there, Switchup's style evolved and now he can be found playing nearly every genre of EDM, often incorporating multiple different styles into his live performances. His unique way of constantly switching up his tracks, genres, and bpm always keeps the crowd moving and always wondering what's coming with the next drop!
**Brainload** 10-11
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ritual has proudly become an icon in the Bay Area dubstep scene. With their humble beginnings in a tiny bar, they eventually expanded to the famous Temple Nightclub in San Francisco with hundreds of dancing people joining them every Thursday. These crazy party kids managed to create the biggest reoccurring dubstep event in the entire Bay Area and are showing no signs of slowing down as they expand their party into Los angeles in 2012. Ritual has had legendary performers grace the DJ booth as well as given many new comers the chance to shine and share their gift. Their lineups include a wide range of dubstep sounds and they strive to maintain diversity. Whether you like the deep and dark sounds, the face melting filth, or hip hop and reggae inspired dubstep, you are sure to find what you are looking for at their shows.
This is an experience that is fueled by you, and is made strong by the love and respect for each other, life, music and dance. The Ritual family is one that is ever growing and the Irie Cartel guys make everyone feel welcome, whether you are a newbie, or a long time die hard. This event is fun and warm because the people embrace each other's creativity and treat each other as brothers and sisters. If you have never been to one of their events, feel free to make yourself at home and introduce yourself to the crew, and a few strangers.
