DJ SEGA - Brick Bandits, Mad Decent, Philly
Robert "DJ Sega" Taylor Jr. isn't your typical young kid. Only 21 years old, he espouses a knowledge of and enthusiasm for the finer points of music better than heads twice his age. Taylor's father DJ Brother Rob raised him on classic soul, and his obsession with music grew from there. "I love every genre, from classical to heavy metal," he beams. "I understand it and love it all. If you see me without my headphones, then I'm going through something and there's a problem." Currently holding residence Friday nights at Jamz Roller Skating Center with DJ Dee Square, and Sundays at Pinnacle, Taylor is one of Philly's most respected "party music" DJs. As a producer his stock has exploded with "Woo Hah!" and the track currently forcing kids to Wu-Tang their asses off, "Ghetto Hokey Pokey." Asked to describe the nuances that differentiate Baltimore, Jersey and Philly Club music, Taylor breaks it down. "Baltimore club is more for the Club scene. It's hype, and has a lot of horns," he explains. "Jersey Club is a little more mainstream simply because they chop it up more to make remixes of mainstream hip-hop, and they use a lot of bass. Philly Club has elements of both—without as many horns, and it also has a lot of bass. I try to add some soul to it too." Ever positive, Sega is a man with a mission, "I just want people to hear my music and feel whatever bad situation they're in either doesn't exist or won't be a problem for long. When you dance and hear music that makes you move, you get a feeling that it's gonna be all right."
DARA - Breakbeat Science, Planet of the Drums
A member of the infamous Planet of the Drums crew alongside fellow Drum and Bass pioneers AK1200, Dieselboy, & J Messinian, this Irish transplant has been a dominant figure in the U.S. Drum and Bass scene since his arrival here in 1994. His discography includes two critically acclaimed full length artist albums, 8 DJ mix CDs, as well as numerous singles and remixes for artists such as Freq Nasty, Afrika Bambaata and Keoki. Dara co-founded the nation's first & largest Drum and Bass record store, Breakbeat Science, in NYC which doubles as his own imprint, Breakbeat Science Recordings. He has been featured in countless magazine articles and interviews both in the U.S. and worldwide. He previously hosted one of the internet's most popular Drum and Bass broadcasts, Velocity, where he regularly interviewed leading Drum and Bass artists such as Jonny L, Kemistry & Storm, Trace, Ed Rush, Optical, Hype, Andy C, Zinc, and many others. Dara's long standing relationships with the world's Drum and Bass elite gives him access to an astounding amount of new and unreleased material. His brilliant recording endeavors along with his incessant touring marked by consistently awe-inspiring DJ sets have made him one of the most recognized and well respected DJs in the country.
HUMAN? - Area LXW, thejunglepreserve.org, Fun&mental
Dissolving boundaries through music, dance & life expression. Thats the mission. Iterate quality, resonate with love & inspire movement. Thats the function. Although primarily known for his Jungle/Drum & Bass excursions, Human's main skill is versatility, the ability to adapt to any situation yet still deliver a trademark sound. Whether it be Jungle, Dubstep, Hiphop, Reggae or any sort of breakbeat & bass driven style, you know its Human on the decks with mic in hand. With exclusives, up-front brand new selections & dug up rarities & classics, it's a guaranteed special vibe in any dance Human rocks. A fixture in the NYC underground party scenes, Human is host & resident DJ/MC at Konkrete Jungle NYC, the worlds longest running Jungle/Drum & Bass weekly. Human has played at virtually every Jungle weekly ever in NYC (Camouflage, Direct Drive, Plan B, Testpress, Physics etc.), countless monthlies & one-offs, and has headlined & rocked numerous spots in Toronto, Montreal, Miami, Boston, Washington DC & everywhere in between. Most recently, Human has taken on the role of DJ & hype man for Queens MC Bisc1, and they have performed many times, including at NYC hotspots such as Knitting Factory, Studio B, Southpaw, Mercury Lounge & Bowery Poetry Club, as well as across the country and festivals such as South By Southwest in Austin Texas, A3C in Atlanta, and Scribble Jam in Cincinatti.
TRIGON & MOUSKY - Outside the Cube, Team Ewok
[TRIGON] is known for killin' dance floors everywhere with his intense, quick mixing delivery style of B-boy Jungle/Drum'n'Bass. This selector is most definitely a staple to New York City's stomping grounds by way of Miami, FL. His musical influences of Funk, Jazz, Hip-Hop, Reggae & Miami Bass reflect on his diverse and solid track selection on the decks. Rinsing cutting-edge music from various producers including himself, Trigon rocks shit heavy every time. Recently he has been in the studio focusing on production and collaborating with some of the freshest upcoming stateside talent. Trigon also co-hosts NYC's premier weekly internet drum'n'bass radio show Outside the Cube with DJ Eshin on Bassjunkees Radio. Forthcoming release on Liondub International and new label "Profound Audio" launching 2009, this man is definitely one to watch for.
[MOUSKY] Born and raised in Manhattan, Mousky, ex-vocalist in a metal band, started DJing drum n' bass and hiphop while living in Washington D.C. After years of countless house parties, a weekly show on GW Radio, and a residency at Cafe Japone, Mousky moved back home to NYC. He has since played New York parties such as Camouflage, Direct Drive, Konkrete Jungle & The Secret Night of Science. Abroad, he has performed several times in Buenos Aires to rock 160+, the #1 drum n' bass party in Argentina, opened for DJs Soulslinger & Andy in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and recently headlined a series of wild parties in Rio de Janeiro. Mousky's sets are also all over the map, ranging everywhere from the darker sounds of techstep & neurofunk to smooth liquid or classic ragga, and he is known to rock a serious techno or baile funk set. With diverse musical influences including jazz, samba, soul, funk, minimal, hardcore, reggae, ghetto tech, middle eastern and latin music, Mousky's international sound fires up any and every dancefloor. No matter where the party is, Mousky always keeps the dancers steppin' and the walls shakin' with energetic performances, A1 selection and airtight mixing.
