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!

________________________________________________________
You know you must resist the authoritative control and break the chains of misguided dance culture. You are not part of the flock, (some sort of lemur amongst the masses of other lemurs) rubbing your fur together to make a spark. You require a handy break-through into the real underground movement, the invite to be a part of the worldwide exodus. The liberation. Because you are a REBEL.
________________________________________________________
*LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION : Cameras will be taking video for Rebel Rave TV show scheduled to air on the Comcast Network. BE RADICAL!
WATCH THE SERIES @ http://www.rebelrave.tv
________________________________________________________
The Rebel Rave crew, the ultimate in musical oddballs and misfits, are responsible for some of the most exciting sounds and new directions in dance music, both behind the decks and as cutting edge producers. The Rebel Ravers will lead club goers on a musical odyssey, displaying their unique twist on the electronic scene. Well known for their love of the rave, the Rebel Crew will ignite dancefloors with their fresh sound and fun party antics.
Kicking off February 4, 2009 in Newport Beach, the tour will take in over 20 North American dates across USA, Canada and Mexico, culminating in the 5th birthday of the Crosstown Rebels’ infamous Get Lost party at Electric Pickle at Miami’s WMC on March 27, 2010 before heading off to Europe. The tour will feature killer DJ sets and special back-to-back sessions, as well as the debut live performances from Rebels’ latest shining star, new signing Deniz Kurtel.
The Rebels are ready to unleash the incredible new electronic musical hope, Deniz Kurtel, on the world. With her debut single ‘Yeah’ already being hailed as an all time classic, Turkish born Deniz, will present her first ever performances alongside a self-made LED light installation which she has created for the tour.
In early 2010, Crosstown Rebels will release artist albums from London based soulful producer Glimpse and newcomer Deniz Kurtel. Also scheduled for release are brand new singles from Laurent Garnier, Freaks and stunning new singles from Seth Troxler, recently named number eight DJ in the world by Resident Advisor, and Jamie Jones, who took home DJ Mag’s Best of British awards for best producer and best single of 2009.
Damian Lazarus, whose ‘Diamond in the Dark’, the third single from his critically acclaimed debut album, ‘Smoke the Monster Out’, will be released in February, says:
“The Rebel Rave tour is a great opportunity for all the Rebel family to gather together for awesome parties at some of the best clubs in the world. We bring a special sense of fun to the dancefloor, our combined sound is second to none and our followers across America know to expect the unexpected. Get ready to Rave”.
The Rebel Rave tour will be accompanied by a double Rebel Rave compilation CD, showcasing the very best of Crosstown Rebels, past, present and future. A special issue of the visually stunning Rebel Rave TV series, from director David Terranova, will be filmed throughout the tour for broadcast in April.
Rebel Rave TV recently inked a deal with one of America’s largest cable TV providers Comcast. Rebel Rave TV will air on Comcast’s A&R Channel, beaming all the magic and mystery of the Crosstown Rebels to over 17 million US homes.
Other artists joining in the fun during the 2 month US tour include Glimpse, Mr C, Matt Tolfrey and Konrad Black… with a massive festival style line up gathering together for the last date of the tour at Electric Pickle in Miami.

Skylab2000 :: Saturday Mar. 6th @ Wired Live
January 3, 2010 by admin
Filed under Past Events
Full Info TBA Shortly
From large outdoor festivals in Europe and Asia, to sweaty basements on the east coast, to massives in Los Angeles, skylab2000 has long been a part of the global dance music revolution.
Time Out magazine says:”skylab2000 is a rave legend.”
Urb Magazine decribes skylab2000 live performances as “incredible” and”fantastic”.” Dave Dresden [Gabriel & Dresden] calls the Rollergirl single is “the bomb of all bombs.“ In the UK, Pete Tong of BBC Radio One chose the Auburn single as an “Essential Selection“.
These are just a tiny sample of the compliments collected on the long road skylab2000 has traveled.
Superstar DJs such as Sasha, John Digweed, Carl Cox, Pete Tong, Taylor, John Kelly, and Keoki play skylab20000 tracks. Many releases are on top selling CDs – on great labels such as Moonshine, Koch, Journeys by DJ, Phatt Phunk, 3am Records, Brainiak, City of Angels, Genesis Project, Metronix, and Starshagger.
Single tracks are available on 12″ vinyl, CD, and on iTunes and Beatport. In downloadable mp3 releases, the Rollergirl track alone has almost a million downloads, and growing.
Of course, skylab2000 does remixes, including high profile artists such as Crystal Method’s Trixie Reiss, and world reknowned DJ Paul Oakenfold.
For over a decade, skylab2000 has been traveling city to city playing LIVE for some the best audiences in the world – in places as far away as Russia, Japan, Istanbul, Hong Kong, Montreal, Puerto Rico, Vancouver, and Mexico. In the USA, skylab2000 has played hundred of live shows in cities such as Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Austin, Denver, Miami, Memphis, Nashville, Detroit, Las Vegas, Alaska, Seattle and many, many more!
On stage, it’s hardware synths, samplers, mixers, and effects. No laptop band here! The music is played live, changing to the crowds needs and creating a ride to remember. The current skylab2000 sound is a blend of techno, electro, hard house, nu skool breaks, acid, trance, and a sprinkle of drum n bass.
Lastly, movies, television shows and major video game soundtracks also have the skylab2000 touch. Microsoft’s “Amped” and Konami’s massive “Dance Dance Revolution” have skylab2000 tracks in the games, with more to come.
What’s next? Stay tuned!
Mission control out.

At other events, he’s been known to play extended sets.

A dear friend and techno icon, Tim Xavier is returning to his hometown to move the dance floor for one night only! Tim’s passion for music has kept him on the forefront of techno since his innovative releases a decade ago on Blueline. His incomparable, diverse production has transcended through the maturation of alternative dance music, and his dark, edgy sound has somehow remained in tact through his evolution.

Ready to perform at any hour, for any length, Tim’s sets are diverse and he is a master of his craft. His relentless devotion to providing cutting edge audio continues to keep him in the upper echelon of artists, and as he continues to grow it is guaranteed that we have still yet to see the best of his work.
