Velizar? (In Progress Headliner)

One of the first Djs in Eastern Europe region to fight for the popularization of Electronic Dance Music in the mid 90’s in Bulgaria. Velizar a/k/a Chocho took advantage of the lawless political climate at the time, and began his Dj career at the tender age of 15. By 17, he had developed a passion for Electronic Music and was a full time DJ, playing across the country. By 1999 He has established himself at the forefront of electronic dance music scene in Bulgaria in his multiple roles as Dj, club promoter and music curator. He held residencies at the legendary Country Club on the beach of Black Sea in Sozopol, as well as at the Yalta and Chervilo Clubs in Sofia. He played alongside such legends as Underworld, Leftfield, Sven Vath, and John Digweed, just to name a few.

Sonically bridging the gap between East and West, since 2003, Velizar has been actively involved in the New York City underground music scene with residencies at Midway, Click, Highline, Café Deville, Moomia, Galapagos Art Space, and has participated in various parties and events in Miami, Chicago, San Francisco, Mexico City, Berlin, London, and Barcelona. Currently, Velizar? is the headline DJ and music director for In Progress, and holds the residency for Elegantly Wasted Saturdays with Velizar? @ Vault in the Lower East Side.

Recognized for his stylistic dexterity to create irresistibly contagious, soulful, quirky, chunky, funky, minimal, atmospheric, anthemic, eccentric musical contrasts and the sensibility for all the beautiful dramas in between, Velizar? delivers innovative,diverse and dynamic sound within the pulsating grooves of Electronica House Techno. Bored of self-imposed conceptual constraints, Velizar shows that he possesses a musical versatility - and, more importantly, that he has enough soul to musically communicate feelings to delightfully break into our consciousness.

Asako Fujimoto aka *+.+* (Featured Live Performance)

Asako Music is dreamy and spacey songs with big bass & break beats..sang in different languages with mixed accents by Asako Fujimoto who plays analog synthesizer, glockenspieel computer & little tribal instruments. songs are about abstract feelings towards random things like clouds, airplane, sheep, moons, sun-shines and also often about friends. productions are born pretty much in mobile studios while traveling places like, hamburg, zurich, lille, barcelona, reykjavik and osaka from homebase brooklyn. Asako has been a ambient part of different bands&project collaborations such as deadradar, [a u d i b l e] , doroasako, katja loher and das videoorchester... first band was analog synth band, and then live drum N' bass band (please check asakomusic.com) and then more techno project subtleproduction (with vadim aka comtak) also noise industreal band Moon Carnival .

Pumpkin Patch (Opening DJ)

DJ Pumpkin Patch is a party in a box. Open that box and you will DANCE. It will hurt and you will sweat, but you won’t want it to stop. Pumpkin Patch finds the hottest disco and electro tracks, the most celebrated Top 40 Dance and Hip Pop tracks, the nastiest ghettotech and sleazehop vocals, and the bootiest booty-bass beats, and mashes it all up into seamless and musical party mixes._

As a student in Indiana University’s Recording Arts program, Pumpkin Patch was known for throwing the hottest dance parties on campus – packed wall to wall and bumpin’. Recently graduated into the real world, The Patch has quickly garnered international acclaim with features in URB Magazine in Los Angeles, Pimp Magazine and Fact Magazine in London, and Rraurl.com in Brazil, to name a few. DJ Pumpkin Patch is also one of the forces driving the young Dgenetics Musics record label, which is being hailed as the US answer to dominant indie labels Kitsune, Modular, and Ed Banger overseas.
