STL-DUB and Connector Present:
The Midwest Dub Massive @ St. Louis Grime (The March Mind Blower!) Featuring:MARK INSTINCT – Calgary, Alberta, CA
ROTTUN | DUBLINE | AUFECT | BETAMORPH | TRILLBASS | ARTICAL CLOTHING | SUPREME HUSTLE DJSMark Instinct was always into the sounds of electronic music, but it wasn’t until his introduction to drum and bass, at the age of seventeen, that he decided it was time to add his own mark on music. With impeccable taste and skill sets, early bookings with Hive, Pendulum, Noisia and Tech Itch started to gain him recognition in bass circles around Western Canada. At the age of 20 years old, when Mark Instinct started experimenting with music production, he finally found his niche. Beginning with drum and bass, and dabbling in other genres, such as house, it was the grimy stripped down sounds of Dubstep that ultimately caught his attention. Creating dark nasty beats, synonymous with the Western Canadian sound, Mark Instinct soon began to chisel out his own distinctive style imprinted on releases “Sketchy Maxx” and “Fword”. Attention from record labels Rottun, Dubline and Aufect recordingss lead to the release of “Invader” and “Badman Sound” in 2009, tracks which were soon found on the top-ten playlists of many international DJ’s. Forthcoming “Destroyed” and the storming “15 Karat EP” are slated for release in early-mid 2010. Additionally, tracks released on Betamorph Recordings “The Humunaoid EP” & Aufect Digital’s “Love me Nots” release were featured in the top ten charts of Juno, Chemical Records, & Digital Tunes. Ascending the steep slope of music with ease, this 23 year old is proving that 2010 will be no different. Appearances alongside Dubstep’s biggest names, a hectic tour schedule which include an appearance at Winter Music Conference “World of Drum and Bass”, remixes and collaborations with Downlink, Symbl, Ale Fillman, and releases on “Play Me”, “TrillBass Recordings”, and DJ SS’ “Formation Records”, it comes as no surprise that Mark Instinct will continue pushing musical boundaries. With tight mixing skills that have been instilled from drum and bass, melody lines of genuine electronic musicality, along with the dirty sub and mid range bass that could only be contained by Dubstep, Mark Instinct is this decade’s artist to watch. +++CLAW - Albany, NY
FurtherSound, Brotown, Hulk, so many more it's insane!!!Claw emerged in Houston, Texas in 1999, at the age of 15. He was well-received from the start, making contacts with the local rave DJ’s of the time. By the time he was 16, he was playing at some of Houston’s bigger underground parties and weekly events. After graduating high school, he moved to Florida to pursue music as a profession and began playing at weekly events. After finishing his music engineering studies at Fullsail in Orlando, Claw made his way across New York working at numerous studios with various engineers and producers. He then moved to Las Vegas to pursue his record label with Trillbass, which he co-founded. Claw also just did an official Dubstep remix for Wu-Tang that debuted at # 7 on the ITunes Hip Hop chart, and is currently back living in NY to run his art gallery and record label ventures. Claw is half of HULK, along with Richie August, whom have already been touring across the states with their first release out in January on Reid Speed’s “Play Me Records”. Hulk has just launched their own Dubstep label, entitled BroTown Records. This new venture already has tunes signed individually from Claw and Richie August along with Mark Instinct, Druley, and their own moniker, HULK! Get ready for 2010, as these two are at the top of their game, with no end in sight. +++RUCKUS - Chicago, Illinois
