*APRIL 7TH :: STANTON WARRIORS | JUNKIE XL (live!)

JUNKIE XL [radiojxl.com, Amsterdam]

In the words of Junkie XL, "...what I want is for Junkie XL to

become a mark of quality when it comes to a certain sound. I feel

really comfortable saying I make progressive dance music that can

cross over between different genres - and I'm always asking, 'How far

can I go?'"

STANTON WARRIORS [(DOMINIC UK]

The Stanton Warriors have succeeded in not only bucking musical definition

but have picked it up by the collar and kicked its ass. With their eclectic

past and drawing on some traditional sounds of underground house, hip hop,

electro and funk, they've mixed up the old and the new and come out with

something bigger than the sum of its parts, namely the Stanton sound!

*APRIL 14TH :: INFUSION (live!) | BASSNECTAR

INFUSION (live!) [Thunk | Marine Parade | Melbourne]

"Brilliant live, responsible for a couple of the best tracks of the last twelve

months, and highly rated by Sasha, Zabiela, etc. Infusion are shaping up to be

one of the best new dance acts for a long time. Their devastating blend of live

instruments and dirty 4/4 breaks has brought new vibrancy and inspiration to the

dance music community." - M8 Mag

BASSNECTAR [Amorphous | Organic Music | US]

With Bassnectar having remixed or collaborated with the likes of KRS One, Heavyweight

Dub Champion, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Buckethead, The String Cheese Incident, Saul

Williams, Noam Chomsky, Cheb I Sabbah, Sound Tribe Sector 9, Crash Berlin, Landslide,

and Perry Farrell, as well as having released records on OM Records, Virgin, 6 Degree,

Functional Breaks, Ceiba, Groundwork (Starbucks) and Kool Keith’s Sync Recordings, the

Bassnectar sound has benefited from a wide scope of exposure, and evolved from cutting

edge dance music to where it exists today: a mutant mash-up of multiple styles and genres.

The only way to experience the Bassnectar sound is to live it.
