HAPPY HOLIDAYS 3 DECEMBER 6th 2003

presented by Columns of Knowledge

MAIN RM: TINSEL TOWN!

GREEN VELVET (Relief, Chicago, IL) SPECIAL RARE DJ SET! 2:00-3:00AM

Hype: 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 PA

Hype: 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. With a near religious fan base it's

no wonder why this lady is in such demand across the country and beyond! With

her maturing sound she has broadened her appeal to a wider variety of

listeners than ever before. Peep the new stuff on Topaz!

CD RELEASE PARTY FOR "ALONE on HYPNOTIC RECORDINGS!

History: She has been profiled and photographed in some of the largest

domestic and international publications including Details Magazine, Paper Magazine

and Mixer. 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.â€

MING + FS (Madhattan Studios, Hell’s Kitchen, NYC) 1:00-2:00AM

Hype: Ming+FS spend their time converting skeptics and exciting newcomers by

bravely carving out a space into the landscape that is future music. For those

that don't know, their unorthodox blend of Jungle, Hip-Hop & Turntablism

blankets the masses with a quality mix of the known & unknown. Be prepared.

History: The legendary story of Ming and FS as a team begins in 1996, when

the two collided at a party in Manhattan. Together under the moniker Lead Foot,

they put out several breakbeat tracks, and eventually opened their own

production studio/label Madhattan Studios in 1997."Bar Mitzvah Breaks" which DJ Craze

used to win two DMC championships (1999 and 2000) was a product of this

label. Their debut full-length album Hell's Kitchen, achieved huge critical

acclaim. They've done remixes w/for :Puff Daddy, Aphrodite, Craig David, Glenn Lewis,

Lynyrd Skynyrd and Suzanne Vega. Ming+FS are gearing up for the release of

their fourth full length album ‘Back to One’ which will be released in 2004.

domestic and UK labels worldwide there's no question the man's in demand! You will

Netherlands. He has also done remixes for bands on major labels such as Corrosion of

Conformity, Napalm Death and currently, SOIL. Delta 9's new projects include

Hype: This man OWNED the dancefloor at the legendary True event "Hell". He

has done remixes for Moby, Orbital and many others! He plays at all major

parties such as Planet V, Innovation, World Dance, Helter Skelter in the UK.

History: Began djing in 1989/1990. In 1992 he worked for Dave at City Sounds

in Holborn, moving onto Black Market Records in Soho. After a time of

producing and re-mixing tunes, Ray decided to start his own label in early 1994 called

Dread Recordings, followed by Penny Black and UFO Records later. With

prolific tracks like ‘The Chopper’, ‘You Got Me Burning Up’, ‘Yes Yes’ and

Something Out There on Dread he also managed to create another anthem for the Drum

and Bass archives; ‘The Renegade Terrorist’ on Moving Shadow Records. His

schedule is hectic with a string of worldwide tours in America, Europe, Asia and

Australia under his belt. Keeping a strong working bond with his engineer

Nookie from Good Looking Records for the last ten years, contributes to making

these talented individuals into a formidable team. "Hard work never hurt nobody"

says Ray and it's easy to see that hard work also pays off bigtime!

"Bitches", and Wikked "The Throw Down" amongst many others! He's received critial

new cd dropping on taciturn records febuary of 2004! And has two shows on

WWW.NYCJUNGLE.COM "THE HIJACK" and "Digital Konfusion Mixshow USA".
