In 2003 the tradition continues. The "Fresh" series now has last for 6 years and has outlasted any of other our series oriented events. The vibe at the "Fresh" events has always been just that: eager anticipation, excitement, funky fun, and a return to an energy not felt at most clubs or one offs these days. The Fresh series, ironically enough has always marked a turning point for us. Fresh in 1997 marked the end of our truly "underground" events in skate parks for the most part. Refresh in 1998 marked the beginning of us seeing larger turnouts and really proved that we had a grip of what the masses wanted. Fresh Start in 2000 was elebrating a new millenium for us, as well as the approaching birth of my son Zachary. In 2002 So Fresh & So Clean was the culmination of 5 years of work bringing the Fresh vibe to its ultimate pinacle. Now in 2003 we take you one step further. With the launch of Columns of Knowledge Recordings in 2003, as well as some welcome additions to the COK dj roster, we feel it's definitely time to bring the "Fresh"ness back to the party! The next chapter is now...feel the funk! Peace, Columns family '03!
MAIN ROOM-"THE FRESHMAKA'S"
DONALD GLAUDE *Moonshine, Seattle*
Get your fuckin' hands UP! Donald Glaude has cemented his reputation as a crowd-rocking favorite and one of the most in demand artists in the country. He exudes energy, dropping track after funky track, arms aloft, and has been known to join the dancers on the floor. Off The Hook was Donald's first mix for Moonshine Music which displays Donald's own inimitable style, displaying the skills and energy that have made him one of the most exciting DJs to emerge in recent years. In between releases and the demands of his rigorous touring schedule, Donald has been concentrating his efforts on producing singles, such as "Soul Cha Cha" and "To The Soul", both of which can be found on his latest Moonshine effort, "Mixed Live". In early 2001, Donald launched Respect Recordings. Donald's dynamic, animated and energized persona definitely categorizes him as the "must see" talent. Not only is Donald dedicated to his craft, it is his amazing ability to connect with the crowds that makes his sets transcend mere mortality.

THE badHUMAN TOUR: featuring DIESELBOY w/ MC J-MESSINIAN and BAD COMPANY UK
*Official Cd release event: Bad Company UK: Shot Down On Safari available on HUMAN/System Recordings 1/28/03*
After a jaw-dropping, feeding frenzy at Skool'd, the opportunity to host this tour of 4 amazing artists could not be passed up. For Dieselboy it's one red hot tour after another; be it Planet of the Drums with his co-pilots Ak1200 and Dara, or his Area 2 stint with Moby this year to now this project with his longtime friends from overseas. Global appearances have made him "America's most in demand dnb dj". Fresh and Vegas of Bad Company' share the spotlight as one of drum and bass's most exciting new production teams and DJs; the hottest new production team on the block according to Dj Magazine. 2003 shows them building on the success of their previous material with a new spate of upbeat and daring releases on the label.

MISSTRESS BARBARA *Relentless, www.relentlessmusic.com, Canada* Special 3
Decks and FINAL SCRACTH performance!
1st ever Columns appearance! In the spring of 1996 she got her first booking and hasn't looked back since, playing all the major cities in North America as well as Hong Kong, Philippines, Germany, UK, France, Brasil and soon to dominate the rest of Europe, Asia, and Australia. In just four years of DJing, she's played alongside artists such as Masters at Work, Carl Cox, Sven Vath, Richie Hawtin, and many others. Misstress Barbara's various music tastes brought her to play many important North American clubs such as Twilo *NYC*, Velvet Underground *London*, Sona *Montreal*, Industry *Toronto*, Aloca *Sao Paulo*, just to name a few. She likes to describe her main style as "drummy funky pumpin' techno" and her typical hard beats have always been the driving force in her music and have always come first. She runs two separate labels from the same source - her company, Energia Productions. Bangin' techno and house done properly.

TODD BUCKLER *CHI, Columns of Knowledge, Terpsichore, Downbeat Recordings, MA/NH* w/ MC JOSIAH INTALLEKT *CHI, True, Downbeat Productions, MA* Record release party for "Pillowtalk/Cold" EP on Columns of Knowledge Recordings!
Put bluntly *pun intended?* Todd will be dominating your sound systems in 2003! Last year he released "Dubplate Selections: Volume One" through their own CHE label with assistance of Dawnpatrol. Now, at the close of 2002, we see Todd getting ready to release "Dubplate Selection: Volume 2" on the CHE label once again, this time with assistance from Downbeat Productions, a CT based Drum N bass label that Todd and Josiah have joined within the last few months. This CD will be different, for Josiah will not only be included in some surprising facets, but it will debut a hip hop track from Josiah's upcoming hip hop release "Master Communication" that Todd is executive producing. Downbeats sister label, Terpsichore, recently released Todds first vinyl offering "CH’I" B\W "Early Morning Blues". This CH’I, an absolute amen smasher that has garnished the praise of UFO!, Submerged, Static and Odi has been being rinsed out on dubplate all over the east coast for the past year. "Early Morning Blues" which has received props from DB, is a mellow and melancholy tune that has some brilliant vocals in it, as well as a unique and complex drum pattern. Josiah is also hard at work his full length hip hop album!
