Here's the line up for the Saturday night dance! Rad beats from the hardest working DJ's in Portland's underground + 2 special guests from Seattle! Happy hardcore, speed, hi-nrg, eurobeat, breakcore and electro! YEAH!
KID KABOOM(Nubreed / The Underground Heroes / Tap Tap / Beat Affinity) - SEA
INITIAL P(Disko Warp / Anime Love Hardcore) - PDX
Pete Ellison, aka Intial P, boss and producer of cult favorite hi-nrg record label Disko Warp, likes it cute, fast and hard. Pete has a list of production, songwriting and remix credits as long as his arm: explosive YouTube hits "Oh Oh Oh Sexy Vampire" by Fright Ranger and "Less Than Three" by Becky, penning the comeback single "Doki Doki" for Swedish bubblegum group Smile.dk, remixes for Canadian eurodance duo Melody & Mezzo, and production for Pony Canyon's Japanese CD series Hapikoa*Speed. In 2011, Initial P & Disko Warp are ushering in a new era of hi-nrg sounds with their signature compilation series Speedisko.
Initial P has also been working hard to bridge the gap between electronic music and anime culture. In addition to producing 2010's "Disko Warp Presents Anime Love Hardcore" album of remixed anime themes, he's also a resident DJ at both Portland's Kumoricon and Seattle's Sakuracon anime conventions. With appearances now lined up at Toronto's Atomic Lollipop and DC's Katsucon, Initial P is on a mission to spread Disko Warp's unique style outside of the northwest.
GRAZ(Reactionary / Donut Nook / Breakpop) - SEA
Rapid-Fire-Amen-Infused-Mashcore Federally Certified to Crush any Party, Graz is here to take you to Bootleg Babylon. His glitched out high-speed rave rendition of radio's yesteryear are the perfect blend to get any crowd bobbing. Graz, a Seattle local, has shared the stage with breakcore legends such as Mochipet and Bong-Ra bringing his unique blend of pop and chop to the masses. Prepare for the true sounds of the plunderground.
LITTLE TERROR(Reactionary / Funshine) - PDX
JESIAH!(Chickenhed) - PDX
Raised on the mean streets of Geisenheimenluftenschteinwurst, Jesiah has lived a prolific life of shnitzel pounding and lederhosen de-pantsing. He began appreciating music at the age of 3 and despite popular culture's best efforts, remains a steadfast proponent of even the most trite melodic compositions. This unique perspective on life has given him a singular vision for bangin' 4-bit, electro-geezer tunage that will do no less than blow your mind into a bliss bomb of sonic rapture!
