**2x4 SET**

LUCKY 8
(((US))) / XTRNL / Love and Lust Events
mixcloud.com/djluckyeight
soundcloud.com/lucky8
Lucky 8 started raving in Seattle during the boom of electronic music in 1999. When paper flyers were your only source for direction, vinyl was "the only way" to deejay and 6am was still legal. In 2002 she moved to Los Angeles and was given belt driven turntables for her birthday by her best friend whom knew she was fascinated, by the thought, of making people dance. By 2005 she was put on stages by Fusion Brothers and quickly became known in the Los Angeles underground scene. In 2008 she made the switch from vinyl to digital and was able to start editing all the music she would find to make them more her style, create mash ups and loops when necessary. She is a very technical deejay in her timing and can drop tracks in a blink of an eye. She likes to think of herself as the destroyer.

AMANDA DARLING
ULTRA-XTRNL

Micheal Liu >>vs<< Sausee
Presents
GALATIC ILLUMINATION
Galaxy Unknown Records, Pisces Music, Geomagnetic Records
www.facebook.com/GalacticIllumination

2 Veteran DJ's of Psy Trance and the SF Rave Scene, Sausee & Michael Liu had their first tag set together in Dec 2008. Even though they only met that year, the dynamic duo clicked right away. With the same person inspiring them early on as DJ's, their styles were very similar. Making it easy to feel where the other is taking the journey. Each set is freestyled and switched one and one, to keep the vibe and flow fresh. Heavy pounding bass, melodies and techno rhythms are mixed in long layers to keep the dancers energized as they trip the light fantastic.

THEE-O

www.beatport.com/artists/thee-o
While a lot can be talked about when it comes to “Old School,” Thee-O walks the walk. He has accomplished a lot in his 24 years of being a DJ, producer and promoter and he is just getting started. He remains wildly popular while staying firmly planted into the underground scene and not falling into the hype that can surround the current EDM culture. With new ventures, new branding, new tracks, and new ideas, the future is going to be one for the books with lots more to come from this music innovator. (((UNDERGROUND SOUND))) 
is proud to have Thee-o apart of this (((PERCEPTION)))

mixcloud.com/FreemanShawnFreeman
One of the smoothest mixers of Underground Sound is FREEMAN. 
He can play just about anything put in front of him, but when it comes to Break Beats, thats Freeman's forte, lifting you off the dance floor then drop that bass leaving you wanting more. He can captivate your heart with Trance make you fall in love with the beautiful sounds. When its time to deliver a dance floor smackdown Drum and Bass will be the weapon of choice.
You never know what Freeman will get down with, but there will never be any dissapointment when he gets down. 
Freeman has been up and down the ladder in the music world but devotes most his time to the Underground Family. 
Playing all over the USA since 1989 but will always remain LA UNDERGROUND.

FESTER
INSOMNIAC - STAND
www.facebook.com/fester.flores.9
Fester started getting into the DJ culture in the early 80's. Not having enough money to buy turntables and a mixer, he improvised by using a boombox instead (ask any OG DJ from back in the day as to how this worked). From there, he fell in love with the BBOY culture (breakbeats, graffiti, battling, turntablists) and began to follow all things BBOY. He was still turntable-less, but, at the same time, was gaining knowledge by watching his neighborhood DJ crew do their thing. Soon after that, he progressed into a variety of music genres ( new wave, disco, funk) basically anything that sounded good. He paid his dues by working as a mobile DJ (weddings, house parties, etc.). Fast forward to the early 90's, Fester found the techno sound and underground culture thanks to Eric Davenport (aka E Zone). And so began the incredible musical journey filled with massive crowds, traveling to out-of-town gigs, live PA's (Axis Worklabs), and a short stint with an independent record label (Turnstyle Records). Fester is proud and humbled to be a part of the Insomniac movement that has grown from hundreds of people to millions all over the world."

Across the ranks of the Stateside bass music scene, hails a mighty selector. Myles Gregory, under the alias “Destro”, has been slaying ravers over the past 10+ years with his stellar DJ performances, world class production talents, as well as being able to repeatedly organize some of the craziest underground events in Southern California. After being internationally recognized, signing to Total Science’s Fix Recordings in 2007, Destro has been on a non-stop terror across the country, showcasing his avant-garde tastes in the Nu-Skool sounds of bass. Since then, Destro has signed to many reputable US and UK labels… over twenty digital releases, including “Rambo’s Comin’, which charted as high as #2 on Trackitdown.net’s Drumstep charts in 2011, as well as a couple 12” releases which landed in record shops world-wide. From WMC to SXSW, to up and down the Pacific Coast, Destro has played for crowds alongside many DNB/Jungle and Dubstep legends such as AK1200, Gridlok, Annix, Byran Gee, 12th Planet, Marcus Visionary, The Glitch Mob, Mickey Finn, Bailey, Twisted Individual, Majistrate, DJ Pleasure, Task Horizon, 6Blocc(R.A.W.), Urban Assault, Escape(UK), Erb N’ Dub, and Cyberoptix… the list goes on and on. 2017 continues to be a busy schedule for Destro, with dates lined up on the east and west coast, as well as a steady release schedule. Prepare yourself for more unrelenting bass lines and killer drum programming, as Destro continues to assemble endless bass weapons of chest rattling destruction for the masses, as well as creating mind blowing visuals & music videos for other marquee acts.
