AC Slater
[Palms Out, Trouble & Bass, Ministry of Sound // NY]
http://myspace.com/theacslater

DJ and producer AC Slater is quickly gaining notoriety for cultivating a heavy bass sound and breathing life into subwoofers worldwide. Raised on 90’s hip-hop and nourished by old school rave, Slater cultivated his love for music and combined his influences to birth his own style of musical production. Emerging as one of the most notable up and coming electro and heavy bass producers, he was noticed and taken under the wing of fellow Brooklynite label, Trouble & Bass. With a notorious musical family behind him, 10 years behind the decks, and an arsenal of tracks, Slater is set to take on the world. He continues to display his excellent DJing skills from all over Europe to the UK, up to Canada, down to Mexico and everywhere in between leaving a trail of pumping adrenaline and wobbly speakers behind him. Get ready Houston!

Satoshi Tomiie :: Friday Apr. 16th @ Wired Live

Friday April 16th 2010 @ Wired Live

Connekted Events presents :: An Evening with…

Satoshi Tomiie
[defmix.com, sawrecordings.com // Japan]

Satoshi Tomiie is Japan’s most successful International DJ and House producer. Since his seminal hit “Tears” back in 1989, Satoshi Tomiie has gone on to become a major part of the acclaimed Def Mix crew and a staple in dance music. Although Satoshi’s beginnings were based on his musicianship as a classically trained musician, he used his talents in the early years of his career to write, program and produce some of the biggest classic house records of our time. Satoshi also has remixed and worked with the likes of Photek, Kosheen, Simply Red, David Bowie, U2 and Mariah Carey, to name a few. In recent years it has been all about DJing for Satoshi. This Japanese New Yorker has been virtually everywhere you can think of. He only spins in his home city of Tokyo every six months or so; the rest of the time he’s traveling, using the Big Apple as a second home which also serves as a handy midpoint between Asia, South America and Europe. Bottom line.. Get ready for a night you will never forget!

Tager & Funk [Live]
[Dafunk Lab, Nightculture, Amplified // Houston]

Houston’s up and coming DJ duo, these two have been shaking up the underground scene since they forged their partnership. Known for there high energy sets, Tager & Funk have stepped outside the traditional form of Dj’ ing. Hailing from completely different backgrounds from ethnicity & religion, to musical preference & style of play, these two are the definition of UNITY through music.

If you’re not in tune w/ the Gritsy movement, here’s a little background
by Karma Houston’s very own John Tran [Kung Fu Pimp]:

Imagine the 1st time you went to a club, heard a completely different type
of music than from the radio & being instantly hooked!

Add a fine tuned soundsystem, colorfully designed flyers, sexy lights, sexy beats,
great DJs, an avid crowd & you have GRITSY!

Still trying to figure out what DUBSTEP & GRITSY is all about? READ ON!

Here is a definition of dubstep according to our good friend, Joe Nice,
the stateside’s #1 selector [dj], of the dubstep sound:

Deep in the heart of South London’s underground lies a sound that percolates
in the streets and vibrates the speakers…dubstep is the soundtrack.

A vibe that rests on the edge of relaxation and explosion, that flourishes
in the middle ground of the comfortable sounds of soulful house and the unbridled energy of drum & bass…..

Music made in London — forged from multicultural influences, syncopated rhythms and loads of bass.

Don’t know what exactly GRITSY is?

GRITSY, the party that first brought the dubstep sound to H-town, is just a straight up PARTY
with some wonderful peoples, great djs/selectors, and a soundsystem that’ll make your body SHAKE
with some serious BASS!

It’s only getting bigger & better, so if you haven’t joined Houston’s infamous dubstep
party and movement yet…
