Enkryption Projekt's unmistakeable sound and stage presence, has lead them to be one of the most recognisable acts to come out of New York City in some time. Cutting their teeth in such legendary NYC venues as The Tunnel, Knitting Factory, and The Limelight, their sound is a product of a time, in which EP believes, Dj'ing and producing were approached in a more serious manner. http://www.myspace.com/enkryptionprojekt

Dave GEE is quickly becoming a favorite in the NYC Dubstep scene. His party rocking style pays homage to the decade that he spent working as a Jump-Up Jungle DJ and promoter on the East Coast. Always keeping the dance floor in mind, his sets are comprised of dancehall inspired tunes and crucial wobblers. Dave works full time as CEO of Methods Clothing and simultaneously is holding down residencies at the Dark Room and Pressure parties in New York City. With a steady amount of out-of-town gigs coming up, this is one DJ you should make sure to catch when he’s in your city. http://www.myspace.com/davegee

Hellfire Machina - Stepping out from The Big Apple, but originating from London, HELLFIRE MACHINA have been turning heads since the projects inception last year. Sonic exploration in the realm of 140 bpm, with an ethos of non conformity, heavy bass and fierce attitude, the Hellfire crew are set to explode. Their productions have already been devastating dancefloors around the world which has led to a biweekly Dj residency in New York, numerous releases penned for the first part of 2009 not to mention a host of remixes that are currently being crafted in their studio 'Planet Twisted'.

Nebulla - Hailing from New York City, Nebulla got his start spinning Hip Hop in the North Carolina college circuit. Already a longtime Jungle and Drum and Bass enthusiast he quickly refined his style with a clear dedication to mash-up genres. In 2007 Nebulla teamed up with DJ Dore to create the Dirtystep Mixtape series. Volumes 1 and 2 were widely received and have lead to an avalanche of Crunk/Dirtysouth influenced Dubstep production. Nebulla started Code Of Arms Records in the summer of 2007. Los Angeles based label La Dubstep Nostra singed Nebulla and Dore in 2008 for their Czar Black Remix Gettin' Doe which was released on vinyl along with tracks by Parson and 6blocc. Now a resident of the world famous Konkrete Jungle Origination... expect to hear big things from Nebulla in 2009. http://www.myspace.com/djnebulla

Soroka - A Hip-Hop junkie since `93, DJ Soroka was heavily influenced by the golden era sound and was later compelled to begin constructing his own sampled based music. In early 2007 he started working with Nebulla and DJ Dore, contributing to The Dirtystep Mixtape Volume II. With a background in architecture, Soroka had been drawn to electronic music, specifically Dubstep, as a way to create large complex objects in space. Soroka is a regular DJ at Konkrete Jungle Origination, and continues to play on a regular basis in New York City and elsewhere. He also can often be heard on dubstep.fm. To Soroka, song selection, continuity and amazing drops are of the utmost importance. He has now had several releases on Code Of Arms Records, recently collaborating with the UK/Stateside grime crew First City, and producing for Wu-Tang Meets The Indie Culture Vol. 2: Enter The Dubstep. Soroka has forthcoming releases on Filthy Digital, Playing With Fire, and Bassism Records.

Diggadee MC Has launched from the world of Drum n' Bass and landed on planet Dubstep. Although Dnb will always be the main ingredient on Diggadee's menu, the Dubstep movement brings a more expansive range of musical awareness. Performing with many of the biggest names in Drum n' Bass from around the world, Diggadee has also managed to work with a few of the biggest names in Dustep as well i.e. Skream & Benga. As the two genre's seem to intertwine, the ability to vibe and adapt is necessary in an ever changing music scene. MC Diggadee, Diggadee MC...the spaceship has landed.
