FAUST & SHORTEE
(Future Primitive, Playboy, Tribal Gear, etc)
[www.faustandshortee.com / www.djshortee.com]

From Hip-Hop, Breaks & Turntablist trick sets to bangin' funky House to
crushing stateside Drum & Bass scratched to perfection; Faust & Shortee have
rocked stages from coast to coast & awed masses worldwide. Faust made history with the release of the first full-length, all-scratching album in history,
the critically lauded Man Or Myth, & was ranked as one of the top 5
turntablists in the world by Spin Magazine. Poised as the official tour DJ
for the Playboy 50th Anniversary Tour, scratch diva for the annual Playboy
Superbowl parties & The Playboy Mansion, Shortee has been ranked in URB's Next 100, the only female to win the Fever/Buzz Battle of the DJs (Washington DC -1997), released the only solo female turntablist album ever (The Dreamer -
1999) & has been acknowledged as one of the most diverse & technically skilled
female DJs in the world. The duo's solo & joint albums have earned them
critical acclaim in major publications like Muzik, Spin, URB, Remix, Rolling
Stone, XLR8R, DJ Times etc., along with their music featured on MTV, NBC, CNN
& ESPN. Faust & Shortee's contributions to the art of Scratching &
Beat-Juggling solidified them a spot in Doug Pray's groundbreaking documentary
SCRATCH (Palm Pictures) and they've been seen rockin the decks on HBO,
Showtime, VH1, Cinimax, Encore, NBC, Sundance, Showtime & more. Active
members of Future Primitive Sound (along w/ Cut Chemist (Jurassic 5), Dj
Shadow, Shortcut, Jack Dangers, Disk & Buckethead (Primus), Tino Corp, DJ
Design, Zeph, Space Travelers, Z-Trip, Devious Doze & more), they've also released a soundtrack mix for Ubi Soft's video game "XIII" created using
Stanton's Final Scratch & Shortee has her own instructional DVD series,

demos regularly at The NAMM Show as well as appeared at The Remix Hotel. Their sponsors include Tribal Gear, Stanton Magnetics, Rane, Shure, Cakewalk and more. Don't miss their exclusive performances served up Soulmate style.

ANNALYZE
[www.twiceasnicedjs.com, www.djannalyze.net, www.kindleproductions.com]

At 23, Annalyze has established herself as one of the leading ladies of
breakbeats and turntabalism. She has played all over the US and Canada,
alongside DJ's such as Qbert, Baby Anne, the X-ecutioners, Dopey and DJ Rap to
name a few. Her stellar turntablism and mixing have earned her national
sponsorships giving her the chance to play at the winter namm show in 2003 &
2004. To top it off, in June 2004 she taught scratch lessons at the West
Coast DJ Academy in San Diego with plans of returning to the Los Angeles
school next year!

Regularly rocking the club and party scene, crowds are not only mesmerized by
Annalyze's DMC scratching and turntable trickery, but her energetic stage
presence creating a vibe that keeps the dancefloor moving all night long. The
crowd pleaser that she is, Annalyze can often be found stepping away from the
turntables & joining the crowd in a dance!

But in order to truly understand the Annalyze, let's take it back to the
beginning. Since her first residency in Rochester NY, at the legendary club
Vibes. At Vibes, where she mostly played Break Beats & House, Annalyze,
knowing that music is her passion, wanted to explore different possibilities
and take it to the next level with the turntables tables. It was in the fall
of 2001 that she was inspired by some local scratch/turntablist DJ's and
realized that scratching was what she really wanted to learn. Two years later,
at the winter NAMM show, she was able to showcase her skills, which earned her
the sponsorship from Stanton. Returning at winter NAMM 2004 show, Annalyze
played alongside fellow scratch mistress DJ Shortee (one half of the Atlanta
based duo Faust & Shortee). Together Annalyze and Shortee formed the first
female scratch duo Twice as Nice, and both the ladies are featured in two
female DJ documentaries entitled "Girl" and "Vinyl is a Girl's Best Friend".
Annalyze was also featured in DJ Shortee's instructional dj dvd "DJ 202" .

It doesn't end there. Annalyze has also recently stepped into the studio,
where she's been working on some original material, with the goal of releasing
her first track by summer of 2005. She's also been collaborating with a few
other breakbeat producers and has been sampling scratches for other artist's
material.

CEOS (NYC) vs. ATHENA (SAN FRAN)
[www.downbeatproductions.com / www.evilbreaks.com]

Ceos, behind the label Downbeat Productions out of NY/Ct has been causing much mayhem behind the decks with his rugged selection of bass heavy breaks.Over the years he's played up & down the east cost, UK, SF ect ect..growin with the breakbeat scene since the mid 90's Ceos has found the sound he was always looking for in nuskool & is pushing it hard through his djin...In addition to his rough and heavy sound, their Downbeat Productions record label has been making a huge splash in the global breakbeat community with killer tracks and top choice artists.The aim behind their label is to push 'our sound' onto the ears of the world, with more filth on the rise this year it's only gonna get better!! -

Athena, comin from the west coast with a pure love for breakbeat music has made a huge name for herself over the years..She has headlined mainy of the big events in California and beyond with her tight djin while backin the crew Evil Breaks! with nothing less than proper skills and passion!!!Do not miss this opportunity to see these two shine this halloween!!
