REID SPEED +SPECIAL BREAKS SET+ (Breakbeat Science (http://www.breakbeatscience.com) | Contagious Musiq | LA)
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/dshichman/Direct%20Drive/REIDSPEEDSM.jpg
After 2 successful DnB cd releases (2001's "Resonance" and 2003's "Life After Dark"), 3 national tours, a DJ/modeling job with Triple 5 Soul, a stint as the DJ for the WB's Jamie Kennedy Experiment, and countless DJ appearances at north America's top clubs & parties, the USA's First Lady of Drum & Bass is taking the rest of the dance music world by storm. A born & raised New Yorker with 10 years of experience behind the decks, she has called LA home for the past 3 years. Whether she is working a movie premiere (Pirates of the Carribean, Texas Chainsaw Massacre), a boutique launch (J.Lindeberg, Diesel), the NAMM show (for Numark), a club (like Buzz, Sonar, Spundae, the Asylum), Reid undeniably brings the danger to the dancefloor. Her diverse style is unique, her selection ranges from all genres of drum & bass to nu- skool breaks, 2 step, tribal house, electro house, and mash ups- sometimes all in one set. Most of her "free" time is spent working on an upcoming album with hip-hop/drum & bass/horrorshow DMC champ DJ Swamp. Widely respected as a pioneer of drum & bass and 2 step garage in the US, Reid is never content to rest.
DJ SEOUL (Direct Drive (www.directdrive.net))

A major force in the Stateside Drum and Bass scene, New York City-based DJ Seoul made his debut behind the decks back in 1993. After several years of DJing and party promotions at underground scene nationwide, sensing the need for a weekend Drum and Bass night, Seoul began a weekly Saturday night event called Direct Drive in 1998. Direct Drive has received international acclaim as the party which consistently hosts the finest in US and UK talent and Seoul is now widely recognized as one of the top Drum and Bass promoters and DJs on the East Coast. Expanding on the success of the Direct Drive party, Seoul formed an event production and promotion company with the same name. Currently, Seoul is focusing his energy on producing tracks in his recording studio as well as overseeing the launch of a record label.
DJ SEEN (Burner Brothers | Direct Drive (http://www.directdrive.net))
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/dshichman/Direct%20Drive/smallseen.jpg
Playing in a tearing, Hi-energy style of drum and bass, DJ Seen has proven, hands-down, that he can move any crowd. Whether it be his airtight mixing, his wicked throw-ins, or the pure quality of his selection, Seen is all about business. Due to his frequent appearances and dramatic response at top parties, the name DJ Seen has become synonymous with NYC drum and bass. Seen began co-producing with Pish Posh in 1999, bringing his dance floor expertise and fresh ideas to the studio of the American pioneer. Making a rumble from the get go with tunes released on Rawkuts/Rawkus, set the stage for DJ Seen to team with Pish Posh and Chris Thomas as The Burner Brothers. The Burner Brothers have set the pace for Stateside drum and bass, with a stream of floor stormers getting instant approval in their own DJ sets, and play from top UK and US selectors. In the year 2000 DJ Seen added the title of Label Manager of Rawkuts to his credentials, as he attended to the speedy revival of the imprint as an international force until its demise due to corporate take over of the mother label Rawkus. In a city so full of talented DJs, Seen stands out with his hard work, skill, and his infectious festive spirit.
ESHIN (No Jacket Required | Bassbot | Direct Drive | Destroyer.net)
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/dshichman/Direct%20Drive/eshin2.jpg
DJ Eshin first began DJing in 2000 as he began taking hip-hop tunes from his bedroom to house parties in the NYC area. Although he first delved into electronic music in 1996, Eshin did not start experimenting with DnB in his DJ sets until 2002 and hasnt looked back since then. Eshin made a big splash in 2004 by launching the eclectic Wednesday night weekly No Jacket Required in NYC with DJ/promoting partner Doctor Faustus. While the weekly finished its run a year after its launch, No Jacket Required still exists today as a NYC monthly event, bringing in prominent DnB talent from around the world, as well as NYCs finest. Eshin is also collaborating with Direct Drive, which has been a staple in the NYC dance scene for the past 8 years. Spanning from melodic and dubby sounds to tech-step and jump-up, Eshin showcases the ability to explore multiple styles in his sets. Eshin has played alongside international talent including Goldie, Total Science, Marcus Intalex, Pendulum, Sub Focus, Klute, London Elektricity, Juju, Logistics, and Digital, among others. As a member of the electronic music collective Bassbot, Eshin continues to spread his diverse sound in the American DnB circuit and beyond.
