$mall ¢hange
$mall ¢hange (aka James Dier) will never stop. A musical addict, he’s been collecting and DJing for over 15 years, has 10s of thousands of records, in every conceivable genre and time period. Out in clubland $mall ¢hange has played in every conceivable downtown NYC/BK venue you can think of, swank, underground, big, small–but always funky.

DJ Tektite (Vitamin B)
Tektite got his start in the 90’s with Old School (UK) Hardcore. He is still searching for records that carry that old school sound while rounding out his repertoire with the massive warbled bass of electro & fidget house, and the booty bounce of Baltimore Club. Tektite is also co-founder and resident of the Brooklyn based breakbeat and electro party VitaminB.

DJ Kester (Crooked Disco / Savage Ballet)
The bass loving’, funky disco revival breakbeat half of NYC’s party rocking Crooked Disco camp, Kester bring a mix of booty bass, rave house, baseline electro and rugged dubstep to the tables for a mixed up dance assault dripping with low end theory.

We have nothing to do with this one but Blip Festival is the worlds raddest (most rad?) gathering of chip mashing techno producers. This was a blast last year and we’ll be among the masses again this time around jumping up and down like 12 year olds reliving our Nintendo glory days in the crowd. Blip Fest 2009 is upon us and its always amazing and, yes, I know BASIC. Check it all out here.
