Great Scott (Muti Music, Scarcity Records, Olaris Records, Glitch.FM) Houston, Texas
A highly dimensional multi-faceted entity when it comes to music. His known propensities for production include breakbeats, midtempo, trip-hop, glitch-hop, dubstep, and anything just about left-of-center within such genres... but there could be many many more. His motives are two-fold: to write electronic music that contains soul and rich imagery, and to push boundaries. His influences include early-mid 90s hip-hop, big-beat and breaks, as well as obscure world and 80s music.
His music and mixes have been featured in esteemed media outlets such as XLR8R Magazine, BBC Radio 1, BBC Asian Network. His music has also appeared on major releases such as the official 2009 SF LovEvolution compilation alongside Bassnectar, Way Out West, and Hyper.
Outside of production, Great Scott is the founder and station manager for Internet radio station Glitch.FM and an arts and entertainment organizer for the world's largest hacking convention, DEFCON.

JSB (True Crew, Breaker's Paradise, Space, Monstamind) Boston, MA
The man behind Boston's new breakbeat night, Breaker's Paradise. JSB's sets have been described as "room-shaking, hard-hitting, booty-bouncing, head-nodding cocktail of awesomeness!" JSB has been spinning since 2000 but has finally hit the scene hard. Starting in 2008 in the underground he continues to hold down one of the best lofts Boston has ever scene. Throwing one successful party after the next JSB is ready to bring his style of music and parties to the masses! Always known for taking "risks" live and working in a lot of remixes JSB's favorite part of electronic music is the "what's gonna happen next?" factor. Breaks is the perfect genre for him as he has embraced the challenge of combining big beat sounds from every genre of breaks into a cohesive sound that always shocks people and has them wondering what tracks were those, and did he do that mix live or was it all one track?
