Chris McDonald Posted October 29 Report Share Posted October 29 HAPPY HOLIDAYS 3 DECEMBER 6th 2003presented by Columns of KnowledgeMAIN RM: TINSEL TOWN!GREEN VELVET (Relief, Chicago, IL) SPECIAL RARE DJ SET! 2:00-3:00AMHype: Green is half of the traditional holiday color scheme and nobody represents green more than the windy city's own infamous GV! The experimental and eccentric, afro wig-wearing entity we know as Green Velvet - a Cajmere alter ego, has rocked Fresh Start and Aww Yeah for previous COK followers. Everybody and their mom knows the "La La Land" song and it's numerous remixes! We are stoked to be bringin' this man back to complete the trilogy of ways he performs: live PA, djing as Cajmere, and now finally the harder version DJing as Green Velvet! History: Green Velvet produced the first release on the Relief label, "Preacher Man." He followed up the debut release with "Flash" and "The Stalker", both of which brought about unexpected praise and worldwide recognition. In 1997, Green Velvet's attempt to combine 80s electronic funk with Chicago's cult of a perfect track led to his creation, "Answering Machine" - with the more humorous but rather contagious hook - "I don't need this shit!" His full length albums "Constant Chaos" and "Whatever" are funky techno landscapes filled with a wide variety of soundscapes that provide humorous lyrics with intense rhythm patterns to create a colage of respected material. He continues to release single and tour globally (see amonly.com we're not kidding global ppl!!)SPACE GIRL (Hard Beat Records, At Large, NYC/Moscow) LIVE PAHype: The queen of acid trance returns to Asylum for another round of dance floor mayhem! One of the best sets from Happy Holidayz 2, we knew we had to have this lady back for an encore this year.

Space Girl aka Yana Demian was born in Moscow, Russia and immigrated to New York City in 1991. Attending and graduating from the prestigious Julliard School with a major in classical piano, Space Girl soon found classical performances lacking in flare and originality, craving a spotlight of her own. Space Girl released her first 12" on EDM Records in 1997 and another double-sided 12" in June 1999 on Blue Elephant Records. 1999 marked the release of her first full-length album “Space Girl - Mission 0001†released on Hard Beat Records, followed by a second full-length release entitled, “Unknown Planet.†MING + FS (Madhattan Studios, Hell’s Kitchen, NYC) 1:00-2:00AMHype: Ming+FS spend their time converting skeptics and exciting newcomers by bravely carving out a space into the landscape that is future music.
