*DJ MICRO

New York, NY

-DJ Micro is one of the US's premiere dance music producer/DJ/remixers. With over thirteen years behind the turntables, Micro's ability to whip dance floors into a frenzy has made him a clubbing sensation. Starting out in the early nineties along side such East Coast luminaries as Frankie Bones, Adam X and Onionz, Micro helped to put the New York underground on the global dance map with his energetic fusion of styles; his live sets described by XLR8R as "unleashing a groove too thick to mention" and by URB as "spiced with rippling acid melodies and plenty of surging drumrolls."

Micro's thirst for new sounds and DIY ethic led him to form the seminal dance label Caffeine, which spawned the longtime East Coast clubbing institution of the same name, where, as resident and main man, Micro rocked capacity crowds week after week. As a natural progression from his success as a DJ, label owner and promoter, Micro began creating his own music. In 1994 he joined with Vicious Vic under the moniker Progression. The duo became overnight heroes in the international dance scene following the release of their massive debut single Reach Further. They were soon commissioned to remix artists from Paradise 3001 and Joe T. Vanelli to Masters at Work, and the X Files theme.

Following on heels of Progression, Micro went on to produce a string of successive hits for respected dance labels Ministry of Sound, Strictly Rhythm, Nervous/Sorted, Adrenalin, Moonshine, and Black Sunshine. With Micro's visibility and reputation continuing to grow, he began performing at clubs and raves worldwide, including tours of the US, Japan, England, Canada and Brazil.

In addition to his original productions and remixes, Micro has released some of the biggest selling mix CD compilations in America, including: 'Coast to Coast', 'Micro Tech Mix', 'Micro Tech Mix version 2.0', 'Techmix 2000', 'djmixed.com/micro', 'Techmix Live', 'Music Through Me', and 'My Frequency 001'.

There is no simple way to sum up a dance music phenomenon such as DJ Micro: the acclaimed DJ, remixer, producer, and label founder never fails to conjure an ecstatic night of pumping progressive sounds wherever he performs. With his storied past and bright future, DJ Micro continues to elevate his place in the world American club culture. And the release of 'Out through The input' takes Micro that much further towards the top!

*DJ SWAMP

Decadent Records/ Bulletproof Recording/ djswamp.com
Los Angles, CA

-Swamp began mastering his DJ skills more than 15 years ago. In 1996, his rookie year, he took the title of USA DMC CHAMPION. Being true to his nature in an arena that was predominantly influenced by a very hip hop-esque culture, Swamp stepped up to the decks looking like some kind of junky punk. He was well received by the audience despite his counter-culture appearance because he exhibited skills that defied perception and already possessed a stage presence that many of his contemporaries still lacked. The finale came when he closed his set by freakin' Deep Purple's 'Smoke on the Water' and then smashing his records.

Notorious for mischief, while he's on the turntables his shows are highly anticipated by those who know that they can expect to see something spectacular. Although he's a hip-hop/d&b artist, his demeanor and appearance are closer to that of a metal head. He has been referred to as "the Sid Vicious of the DJ's", and has been known to have violent on-stage fits more characteristic of a rock star than of a hip-hop turntablist. While it's easy to compare him to rock/punk legends, in the world of DJ's he stands alone. Roguish behaviors such as: breaking his records then cutting himself with the fragmented remains; spitting fire; and performing cunnilingus on diamond-tipped phonograph needles really only provides the frame work to showcase what those that are in the 'know' recognize as extraordinary turntable skills. Breakbeats, scratching, juggling, and mutilating LPs and vinyl without losing the beat are all a part of a day at the 'office' for Swamp. Sometimes they end with a trip to the hospital: "I had to go to the hospital in Phoenix recently with second-degree burns," Swamp said from his publicist's office in New York. "I lit my hand on fire and then blew fire on it and basically became a blow torch. I don't use fire retardant or anything because this is low budget. Dude, I'm just a fire retard."

For four years DJ swamp toured as a member of beck's band. Immediately following his decision to depart from the band, swamp released his solo debut album, 'never is now' and toured to back the release. His decision to go out on his own gave him just the independence that he was looking for and opened up the avenue to self-expression that both he and the fans were seeking.
Swamp says that he draws off of his environment and a ten year affinity with a nameless muse for inspiration. He observes "what's going on" and converts his impressions into his art. His musical influences range from hip hop, to metal, punk, industrial and anything in between.

DJ Swamp has graced the pages of: Rolling Stone, Spin, Subculture, Raygun, Mean, DJ Times, Keyboard, Rap Sheet, Mixer, Rap Pages, The LA Times, and Urb.

Urb magazine says "Witnessing Swamp torture the 1200's is like watching a magic show."
