brought to you by Tronic Treatment + Homegrown

- BRYAN ZENTZ - [Disruptor]

(Tech-House/Techno)

- Bryan Zentz is set to be at the forefront of the next wave of dj/producers. His dj skills and live PA's have to be witnessed first hand and the labels for which he has recorded for read like a Who's Who of techno music: from early output as Barada on Richie Hawtin's Definitive label, Dave Angel's Rotation, Felix Da Housecat's Clashbackk, slamming techno on mega-labels Primate & Jericho, dark electro as Bryan Never on Electrix, and many more. He has also recently completed a full length album for Carl Cox's label Intec. The monster track "D-Clash" has almost immediately evolved into an underground classic in techno, getting major play at huge events even 2 full years after its release.

- 2004 promises to be an interesting year for Bryan as he debuts his own record label "Disruptor". A sonic blend of Detroit, Jamaica, and New York, Disruptor will be a techno label encompassing many of Bryan's influences and interests such as dub reggae, street art, and the hardcore/punk aesthetic.

- TIM XAVIER - [773tekno]

(Techno)

Tim Xavier has accomplished more in a brief period of time in the dance industry than some have accomplished in their whole carrer. In just ten years, Tim has gone from supporting early sounds of acid house and techno at U.S. raves, to Djing globally, and now producing his own techno sounds that are played at dance events worldwide. His moniker "turbo" stems from his lighting fast and solid mixing abilities behind the decks, not to mention the ability to conceive a track in a matter of minutes. Tim quickly became addicted to the production arts, advancing his skills at a lighting pace that soon gained him a large catalogue of 12" releases. Techno greats Carl Cox, Dave Clarke, and Oliver Lieb are known to have beatin "Xavier" Tracks on BBC radio London. On top of the growing list of affiliations, Tim also manages and operates his own label 773tekno "Chicago Division" with the mission to independently release and represent his particular techno sound. With his signiture production and extraordinary dj skills, Tim Xavier has firmly rooted his place in the dance industry as one of the top artists to watch in the years to come.
