A never before seen pairing of these two! Android best known for his smooth drum & bass, has been rocking the decks since 1999. A deep love for music and a dark edge gives Android a unique style that can range from deep, funky basslines to absolute aural chaos, touching down in many places in between. Psyke, an up and coming but promising drum & bass DJ is prepared to give you an aural assault.
Suff-x &
Smokeshell (Virus! Crew) PDX - live/breaks :: 10 - 11p
Suff-x, well known throughout the Northwest because of his original live broken beat PA set. He’s been producing since 1998, and since has made an army of tunes under his belt. And if you thought that was enough? Oh boy, we add Smokeshell to the mix. Word around the campfire is that they have a special set planned for this night as well! Can’t wait to see what these two Virus! Residents have to share with us.
Derek Fisher &
theperfectcyn (
www.simplyshameless.com, spandecks, sister pdx) PDX - electro :: 9 - 10p
Derek Fisher has tons and tons of records and likes to play 'em. In some kind of order, and sometimes up to 3 in a row of the same genre. Sometimes there is vigorous head-nodding and toe tapping, and dancing has broken out sporadically. There are often bottle barrages and knife fights too. He likes to play with nice people so he's playing at this party. He really likes to play with the perfect cyn... Oh er missus, that sounds a bit rude, doesn’t it?
Niz of PDX (sister pdx,
www.divadjs.com) PDX - hip hop :: 8 - 9p
Niz of PDX began with Sister PDX in fall of 2002. She started playing out just 3 short months after her first attempts to beat match, often opening for hip hop groups Lightheaded, Acts 29 and others in the region. Niz held a weekly spot at a community center for several months; cutting her teeth on breaks, house, and underground hip hop/turntablism. Many b-boy jams were electrified with Niz's mix of eclectic sounds & crazy samples. Tonight Niz will be dishing out the hot, and fresh hip hop sounds she’s best known for.
