Mr. Skeleton-Los Angeles,CA (Dirty Electro)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IM-DarWlxsU
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbYzxzee6Y4
Underground mastermind of the damned Mr.Skeleton, has been living the undead life in Maverick McNeilly, Los Angeles, United States for 23 years now, and as off such, growing in a place where the electro scene is expanding faster than anywhere else. Considered by many to be a SoundCloud god, he consistently ranks as one of the most listened to artists with his dark basslines, melodic synth progressions and stellar manipulation of samples.

DJ Deeon -(Freakmode/Dancemania, Inc.) -Chicago, IL(House)
http://www.myspace.com/djdeeondaoriginator
Though he's revered among Chicago DJs and around the world as the original master of ghetto dance music, Deeon started small, on Chicago's south side. He sold his DJ mixtapes in the parking lot where he lived, and played house parties in the projects. These crowded living room parties started the feeling and inspiration for the sound Deeon produced, music he simply refers to as, "for the strippers, for the street". While tracks like "Accelerate" on Dance Mania were doing well overseas, he was getting little support or play from local Chicago clubs. Deeon calls ghetto house the "stepchild of Chicago house". Eventually the incredible response from his music forced the clubs to concede and play his records. These "techno with a ghetto edge" tracks have found way to the decks in clubs around the world. Deeon found his home on Chicago's own Dance Mania label, where he released hits like "Let Me Bang", "Who You Wit", "Da Dick Suck" and "The Freaks".http://www.myspace.com/djdeeondaoriginator

DJ Nosmo-(Nightshade Music / System / Baroque / Omnis)-Chicago, IL (Electronica / Progrsv House / Trance)
(Straight from the man himself) "I've been DJ’ing, performing live, and producing for more than a decade, and I’m writing the next chapter of my musical career. I’ve had a pretty good ride in the biz so far, and I want this short autobiography to be an update rather than a third-person blurb..... I held a long-standing residency on Chicago’s foremost dance music radio program, “Sonic Boom” on Q101FM, but I had my first real taste of the electronic music industry in 2001 with the self-release of “One For The Road / Asleep At The Wheel.” It was originally a collaboration with my now long-time production partner Kris B. We pressed a small run of white labels, mostly to throw at headlining DJs in the booth when they visited our fine city of Chicago. Before long (and much to our surprise) the single was being charted by all of the A-List DJ’s and was 1 on Balance Record Pool Chart and Massive Records Import Sales Chart. .... I created my (now former) band Grayarea and we were rapidly signed to Hope Recordings, with much credit given to the success of "One For The Road." As a member of Grayarea, I went on to release several more singles on Hope Recordings, such as “Yewminyst,” featured on Nick Warren’s “Global Undergroud 024 Reykjavik” compilation, and “Gravity” which appeared on Tiesto’s “In Search of Sunrise, Vol. 4” mixed CD and has since gone on to become a ringtone. With the success of Grayarea, we had the unique opportunity to remix and be remixed by artists who have been massively influential to me. I remixed Bedrock’s “Emerald,” Steve Porter’s “Vodka Cranberries,” and My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult’s “Dementia 66.” We traded mixes with Hybrid for our “Gravity” and their “I’m Still Awake” singles, and Gabriel & Dresden provided a top notch mix of “One For The Road” for Hope. I also spent time (under the moniker Blueletter) in the studio with D:Fuse producing two versions of his single “Indecision” which appeared on his “Begin” artist album and “People 2" mixed CD. .... John Digweed featured a live Grayarea set on his hugely popular Kiss FM radio program in the UK in 2003, and soon after I was living on the road in a tour van. We signed with the coveted AM Only booking agency, and over the following 2 years basically made laps around North America playing hundreds of shows and trying to figure out how to fit all of our gear on an airplane. Alas, the stress of living on the road with two other smelly dudes, in a crappy van that overheated constantly, took its toll on the band. Add subsisting on a diet of Taco Bell and Makers Mark to the mix, and you have the recipe for the eventual demise of Grayarea..... Exhausted and disheartened, but not defeated, I took a step back from touring and got back into the studio. Since that time I’ve been producing on my own and collaborating with some truly fantastic DJ/producer/songwriters. I’ve been in the studio with Blake Jarrell, who’s poised to become huge with his recent signing to Armin Van Buuren’s Armada label. I’ve also been working with Kris B again and we’ve got several releases and remixes about to drop as well as our new program “The Influence” on ProtonRadio.com. I’ve been hammering out new beats with another longtime studio/DJ partner Andre Solaris, who’s best known for his program “FUEL” on XM Satellite Radio’s “The Move” and his legendary “FUEL” events in Chicago. .... I’ve spent a good deal of time thinking about the appeal of electronic music is and why I’m attracted to the industry that it’s created. I love electronic music because it can unapologetically cross boundaries and genres: no sound is ever considered out of place. I believe that it’s not my job to cross these boundaries, but to destroy them. ......

Elekid (Distorted Trauma, Chicago Hardcore Alliance) -Chicago, IL(Hardstyle)
http://soundcloud.com/elekid
http://www.youtube.com/elekid
At the age of 8, Elekid discovered the wonders of Electronic Music when he heard L.A. Style's "I'm Raving," on the radio. From that point, he was catapulted into Classic House, Hard House, & Ghetto House via late night mixes on the radio by DJs such as Bobby D. and Bad Boy Bill. Towards the mid and late 90s, he started hearing other hard Electronic Music, and fell in love. In 1997, he purchased his first set of decks; A pair of Gemini XL-BD10 turntables.
Over the last 13 years, Elekid has worked to become a household name in the harder styles of Electronic Music. His mixing skill, energy, and track selections have gained him widespread recognition across America. Having played a number of different genres, Elekid is very versatile and has a wild imagination when it comes to what he brings to the table. His many mix compilations are models of the creativeness he has. Elekid's "whatever it takes" approach to his performances such as eating records and playing buttplug football during his sets are also well known. His musical tastes stretches from Ambient all the way to Speedcore. Elekid truly is a musical renaissance man.
Over the last 6 years, Elekid has taken his intensity and insanity over to the production side of music, creating some unique and high energy tracks such as Tekno Drugs, which has been featured on mix compilations by big name DJs such as DJ Venom's Straight Bangin' 4 album

DJ Datum (EL Cartel, Prankstas)-Chicago, IL(Dub Step)
http://soundcloud.com/datum
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WQbrsQoDU0
Datum began his love affair with the kick and snare at the legendary 90’s Chicago rave scene. After seeing his first show he knew it was his calling. After several years of performing from bedroom to bedroom, his art was on point and he was ready for the big show. Datum, along with several other like-minded people, formed the Prankstas. Together they threw some of the most legendary parties DeKalb has ever seen. To date the Prankstas have been a little more low key, but rumors are stirring that there will be a great return of the Pranksta movement in the very near future. From those days he moved up to play alongside some of the finest talent out there at all of the hottest spots in the Midwest. Datum has one of the most unique track selections, only following the beat to his drum. This master of the wheels of steel used his scratching, smooth mixing, and turntabilist tricks to conquer the DnB scene. Datum looked around to see where to expand his skills, as one would guess Dubstep was the next art to master. He took a bit of time off to focus more on his production and incorporating more technology into his sets, while still utilizing vinyl turntables. Soon he will release a full album and shake the world again. If you see this cat on a lineup whether he is playing DnB or Dubstep or Both, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!

Though he's revered among Chicago DJs and around the world as the original master of ghetto dance music, Deeon started small, on Chicago's south side. He sold his DJ mixtapes in the parking lot where he lived, and played house parties in the projects. These crowded living room parties started the feeling and inspiration for the sound Deeon produced, music he simply refers to as, "for the strippers, for the street". While tracks like "Accelerate" on Dance Mania were doing well overseas, he was getting little support or play from local Chicago clubs. Deeon calls ghetto house the "stepchild of Chicago house". Eventually the incredible response from his music forced the clubs to concede and play his records. These "techno with a ghetto edge" tracks have found way to the decks in clubs around the world. Deeon found his home on Chicago's own Dance Mania label, where he released hits like "Let Me Bang", "Who You Wit", "Da Dick Suck" and "The Freaks".http://www.myspace.com/djdeeondaoriginator

DJ Nosmo-(Nightshade Music / System / Baroque / Omnis)-Chicago, IL (Electronica / Progrsv House / Trance)
(Straight from the man himself) "I've been DJ’ing, performing live, and producing for more than a decade, and I’m writing the next chapter of my musical career. I’ve had a pretty good ride in the biz so far, and I want this short autobiography to be an update rather than a third-person blurb..... I held a long-standing residency on Chicago’s foremost dance music radio program, “Sonic Boom” on Q101FM, but I had my first real taste of the electronic music industry in 2001 with the self-release of “One For The Road / Asleep At The Wheel.” It was originally a collaboration with my now long-time production partner Kris B. We pressed a small run of white labels, mostly to throw at headlining DJs in the booth when they visited our fine city of Chicago. Before long (and much to our surprise) the single was being charted by all of the A-List DJ’s and was 1 on Balance Record Pool Chart and Massive Records Import Sales Chart. .... I created my (now former) band Grayarea and we were rapidly signed to Hope Recordings, with much credit given to the success of "One For The Road." As a member of Grayarea, I went on to release several more singles on Hope Recordings, such as “Yewminyst,” featured on Nick Warren’s “Global Undergroud 024 Reykjavik” compilation, and “Gravity” which appeared on Tiesto’s “In Search of Sunrise, Vol. 4” mixed CD and has since gone on to become a ringtone. With the success of Grayarea, we had the unique opportunity to remix and be remixed by artists who have been massively influential to me. I remixed Bedrock’s “Emerald,” Steve Porter’s “Vodka Cranberries,” and My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult’s “Dementia 66.” We traded mixes with Hybrid for our “Gravity” and their “I’m Still Awake” singles, and Gabriel & Dresden provided a top notch mix of “One For The Road” for Hope. I also spent time (under the moniker Blueletter) in the studio with D:Fuse producing two versions of his single “Indecision” which appeared on his “Begin” artist album and “People 2" mixed CD. .... John Digweed featured a live Grayarea set on his hugely popular Kiss FM radio program in the UK in 2003, and soon after I was living on the road in a tour van. We signed with the coveted AM Only booking agency, and over the following 2 years basically made laps around North America playing hundreds of shows and trying to figure out how to fit all of our gear on an airplane. Alas, the stress of living on the road with two other smelly dudes, in a crappy van that overheated constantly, took its toll on the band. Add subsisting on a diet of Taco Bell and Makers Mark to the mix, and you have the recipe for the eventual demise of Grayarea..... Exhausted and disheartened, but not defeated, I took a step back from touring and got back into the studio. Since that time I’ve been producing on my own and collaborating with some truly fantastic DJ/producer/songwriters. I’ve been in the studio with Blake Jarrell, who’s poised to become huge with his recent signing to Armin Van Buuren’s Armada label. I’ve also been working with Kris B again and we’ve got several releases and remixes about to drop as well as our new program “The Influence” on ProtonRadio.com. I’ve been hammering out new beats with another longtime studio/DJ partner Andre Solaris, who’s best known for his program “FUEL” on XM Satellite Radio’s “The Move” and his legendary “FUEL” events in Chicago. .... I’ve spent a good deal of time thinking about the appeal of electronic music is and why I’m attracted to the industry that it’s created. I love electronic music because it can unapologetically cross boundaries and genres: no sound is ever considered out of place. I believe that it’s not my job to cross these boundaries, but to destroy them. ......

At the age of 8, Elekid discovered the wonders of Electronic Music when he heard L.A. Style's "I'm Raving," on the radio. From that point, he was catapulted into Classic House, Hard House, & Ghetto House via late night mixes on the radio by DJs such as Bobby D. and Bad Boy Bill. Towards the mid and late 90s, he started hearing other hard Electronic Music, and fell in love. In 1997, he purchased his first set of decks; A pair of Gemini XL-BD10 turntables.

DJ Datum (EL Cartel, Prankstas)-Chicago, IL(Dub Step)
http://soundcloud.com/datum
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WQbrsQoDU0
Datum began his love affair with the kick and snare at the legendary 90’s Chicago rave scene. After seeing his first show he knew it was his calling. After several years of performing from bedroom to bedroom, his art was on point and he was ready for the big show. Datum, along with several other like-minded people, formed the Prankstas. Together they threw some of the most legendary parties DeKalb has ever seen. To date the Prankstas have been a little more low key, but rumors are stirring that there will be a great return of the Pranksta movement in the very near future. From those days he moved up to play alongside some of the finest talent out there at all of the hottest spots in the Midwest. Datum has one of the most unique track selections, only following the beat to his drum. This master of the wheels of steel used his scratching, smooth mixing, and turntabilist tricks to conquer the DnB scene. Datum looked around to see where to expand his skills, as one would guess Dubstep was the next art to master. He took a bit of time off to focus more on his production and incorporating more technology into his sets, while still utilizing vinyl turntables. Soon he will release a full album and shake the world again. If you see this cat on a lineup whether he is playing DnB or Dubstep or Both, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!

Misteries (Tru Family Unit)- Chicago, IL(House)
Music runs deep with Chicago native Misteries. His father a local musician, he found himself drawn to music at a young age, with a particular affinity for soul music. As a teen, he became heavily influenced by the Chicago rave scene of the 90s, particularly the first time he saw influential DJ and producer, Paul Johnson perform. By the end of the 90s, Misteries had purchased his first set of Technics, and a slew of soulful vocal house records.
In the early 2000s, Misteries perfected his craft and his reputation, playing at successful house nights at clubs like Zentra, Vision, and Funky Buddha Lounge, as well as underground events by collectives such as True Family Unit, Intergruv, House Arrest, Dust Tracks Ecclectric Grooves, to name a few. In the Summer of 2006, he was involved in a near fatal car crash, which left him in a coma and paralyzed his right arm. By that time the following year, he had learned to spin records with one functional arm, and started experimenting with Electro & Fidget house.
Since then, Misteries has launched a clothing line, Gunplay, and has started collaborating with Electro DJ & producer Eric Starkill with their project “Audio Assassins.” You can catch them performing around the Chicagoland area at a club or underground near you.
Now returning from his 9 month break from Chicago, Misteries is back, in a major way. Dropping everything from soulful & disco house, big room bangers, in your face electro and even a little moombahton. Don't expect to be seated during Misteries sets because the passion and fire he puts into playing is clearly shared with all those on the dance floor.
