Gabriel Alexander (Empire Music Werks, Uniting Souls - Miami) LIVE SET! is one of the most talented faces to hit the dance scene. Best described for his deep, dirty, electro sound, his unsullied outlook on the dance floor is not only refreshing but also gripping. Born and raised in Miami, FL, Gabriel has been exposed to every imaginable style of music, from rock to new wave to hip-hop to classical. He was introduced to the dynamic force of dance music towards the mid to late nineties, attending mainstream events such as Winter Music Conference and Ultra, and as alternative as warehouse parties and moon valley raves. He landed a residency at Purdy Lounge, a prominent club in South Beach, sharing the decks with such DJ/Producers as Matthew Dekay, Austin Leeds, Johnny Fiasco, Steve Gerrard, and Bill Patrick, while simultaneously earning a degree in Music Business. His passion for music drove him to the position of Events Project Coordinator for the 20th Anniversary of the Winter Music Conference. It is 2006 and Gabriel has lived the life the no other might even begin to comprehend. He is here with a purpose and a goal: to make people dance!

Manoj (Jedeye, your.mom - PDX) Genuinely inspired by and simultaneously influencing the NW tribal dance culture, Manoj surfaced in 1991 as a dancer spearheading a multitude of renowned gatherings in Portland and Eugene spanning well over a decade. While investigating the transformational synergy of intention, creativity, art and community through these gatherings, Manoj was naturally drawn to the decks in 1997 as the next vehicle of expression and investigation. Believing in the healing powers of music and dance and drawing from his personal relationship with the dancefloor, Manoj’s sets are infused with tough rhythms while conveying the deepest vibes. Now embracing the infinite and expansive potential available for djs through the digital music revolution, there is no way to define his musical style… he has simply been unleashed.
Ramiro (Uniting Souls – SEA) A native of Bluefields, Nicaragua, Ramiro was exposed to multi-cultural music from an early age, from Caribbean soca, reggae, and dance hall to Latin music such as salsa and merengue. At 12, his family moved to New Orleans, where jazz, blues, and funk permeated the region's rich music culture. During his early college years in San Francisco, Ramiro converged upon the electronic music scene that exploded in the Bay Area in the early 90s. From the Wicked Full Moons to Come-Unity, Stompy Stomp, and the legendary Sunset outdoor parties. With the support of friends, Ramiro began producing his own events to showcase the talents of many local artists and musicians, and thus, Uniting Souls was born. Now a resident of Seattle, Ramiro continues to work towards fostering a creative, nurturing environment ripe for artistic expression, spearheading the newly-launched record label Uniting Souls Music.

Mat Anderson (Not Boyfriend Material, Uniting Souls, Deepfunk Records - SEA) LIVE SET! is a house music producer and DJ whose profile is still on the rise. His productions and DJ sets carry enough thump to get even the most discerning dancefloors moving, while communicating his quirky sense of humor and fun-loving attitude. Mat's house music influences came from various players in the Seattle scene, such as vinylized, the Smartbeat crew, the Lish, Artificial Limb, and Eyedrop. In 2003, he wrote the tracks that would later form the "Flammable EP," released in 2006 on Uniting Souls. The title track was an ode to the longest house music night on the West Coast, Seattle's Flammable. Mat's attention has been focused on adopting his various productions to a live set format, a move he feels will better allow him to express himself in his performances. Mat Anderson's latest release is his contribution to Blacksoul's upcoming "Original Sinner" on Deepfunk Records.
