ABOUT THE DJS:

OSCURE (Los Angeles Breakbeat Association/Space Island)
Since the time hip-hop music and break-dancing first hit L.A.streets two decades ago, Oscar Gamboa II A.K.A. Oski-D, or the infamous Oscure has been one of the integral pioneers of the LA Underground scene. Sharing a devotion to music and a passion for its perpetuity, Oscure and several of his friends established the party crew B.A. Boiz in 1988. B.A Boiz threw small warehouse events and created the highly revered second room at the former after-hours "What?" in 1990. Becoming a resident at the longest running L.A. party-F.A.M.I.L.Y solidified his position as one of L.A.’s premier underground DJs. Spinning hip-hop and funk at this weekly event gained him recognition among his contemporaries for the distinct flavor of music and creating an incredible atmosphere. It was at this juncture in his professional career that Oscure spun at his first full-fledged rave, Dippity-Do in 1992. Then served as a resident for L.A.'s infamous No-Doz, D.A.R.E., and Caffiend. L.A.’s next after-hours from 1991 through about 1997. Oscure established The Los Angeles Breakbeat Association In 1996, a collection of L.A. DJs who support and promote the Breakbeat sound. Pushing the Breakbeat scene further in Los Angeles the L.A.B.A. is now in full gear. His first record entitled "Oscure presents FunkyGhettoPhonics" released on his own independent label L.A.B.A. Recordings has received great reviews and lots of rotation.


TODD SPERO (Integral Gatherings/B-Sides)
Todd has been in many collectives and groups that have brought the true meaning of underground dance music to Los Angeles. He was one of the principle architects of the collective Insulin which ran for many years in warehouses, forests, desert and the occasional club around LA. He is one of the musical directors for the Integral Gatherings (a collective know to go out into the wilderness of Los Angeles on the New Moons). He is also one of the original core members of the Los Angeles Burning Man Regional, which has thrown a yearly party for thousands every year in the streets of Downtown LA. He is a member of the infamous B-Sides collective, Alien Underground, and too many more to mention.Todd is also a producer of dance music. With his first release on John Selway's Tension label, he plans on rolling out more tracks in the very near future. From playing for thousands at massive raves to playing for dozens in ultra-secret renegade parties, you will find Todd wherever a crowd gets it. And if they don't, he'll try to make sure they do by the end of his set.


MARK ZABALA (Ninja Skillz)
Mark Zabala plays a wide variety of styles, but he tends towards dirty, driving, techy and psychedelic sounds mixed in with a good dose of percussive, glitched-out funk. Mark was recruited alongside some of Southern California's leading talent to form the Ninja Skillz crew. Ninja Skillz has risen to the forefront of the Underground Community with successful appearances at major LA nightclubs like Spundae @ Circus, Giant @ Vanguard, four sold out festivals in Mexico, The Hollywood Palladium, and several outdoor events all over the West Coast.


DJ DAYHOTA (Re-Invent Music)
“…Funk Queen Dayhota (a.k.a. Shannon Ialongo), who energetically works the crowd as she spins, looking as if she’d rather be on the dance floor than stuck in the dj booth."

David Prince (Spin Magazine)
David Prince of Spin Magazine gives Shannon Ialongo the title of “Funk Queen”, but the world of house music knows her as the infectious DJ Dayhota. Her trademark cutting-edge style combined with her high-energy filled DJ sets put DJ Dayhota into the upper echelon of the underground industry. A Chicago veteran of house-music, Dayhota has entertained at clubs worldwide: Centro-Fly and The Limelight in NYC, Motor in Detroit, Rain and Ice in Las Vegas, Sno-Drift and Ruby Sky in San Francisco and Level and Nikki Beach in South Beach (Miami). Spring 2006 marked the release of DJ Dayhota's first mixed CD Catch Me on RE-INVENT MUSIC followed by Stomp This on STOMPY.COM. Catch Me is an aural journey of unique tracks and top-shelf mixing. In the summer of 2005 Dayhota collaborated with fellow SuperJaner Lady D to work on a remix for Showtime's critically acclaimed series The "L" Word. Tommy Boy Records picked up the remix and released it on a L Word CD compilation.


SAADHU + LOOMER + pSILENT (Bass Ritual/Afterburn)
Residents Saadhu & Loomer hold down the monthly Afterburn @AREA33 as well as their own long-standing westside throw down Bass Ritual. Running the gamut from minimal to breaks, their genre-defying sets, impeccable selections and floor-filling energy have earned the respect of party people and music heads alike. And when fellow Bass Ritual DJ pSilent drops in with his bag of tricks, loops & fx, get ready for a one-of-a-kind sonic journey. http://www.bassritual.com
