DMX Krew
======
The first DMX Krew release was 1995's "Got You On My Mind" on Dutch label DAP, and this was followed in 1996 by "Sound Of The Street" on Aphex Twin's label Rephlex. This record hinted at what was to come with its mix of instrumental electro, synthpop and techno made on vintage equipment. Lots more releases followed, mainly through Rephlex but also on diverse labels including International Deejay Gigolos, Ersatz Audio, Sonic Groove and several others. DMX Krew remixes have also appeared of various artists including Gentle People, Biochip C, Denki Groove, Le Car and many others.
In 1997 Ed DMX started his label Breakin' Records which gained a cult following as one of the UK's first electro and bass labels with releases from DMX Krew and under the alias Computor Rockers, as well as first signings Bass Junkie and Mandroid. Later Breakin' branched into other sounds with the signing and debut releases of acid maestro Ceephax Acid Crew, and the synthpop of G. D. Luxxe. In 2000 as EDMX, Ed became one of the first non-Detroit artists to make and release Ghetto-style electro tunes on the successful MPC Trax series of 12"s and the sell-out mix CD Bass mix. Later Detroit artists Digitek, 313 Bass Mechanics and Disco D also released on Breakin' / MPC Trax.
The last three albums and pair of 7" singles released on Rephlex under the umbrella of "The Collapse Of The Wave Function" reveal a deeper, more considered side to his production, featuring ambient and experimental tracks as well as quirkier dancefloor fillers.
Ed has performed all around the world both as a DJ and as a live act, including several US tours with and without the Rephlex crew, most of western and northern Europe and a lot of eastern Europe too, numerous tours in Japan including WIRE99 in front of 8000 people with Derrick May and Denki Groove in the Yokohama Arena. In 2004 DMX Krew appeared for the first time in Australia and he continues to play out most weekends.

Joey Pistols (Bassline Mondays, Michigandnb.com, Optimus Bass, Necto)
====================================
Since the turn of the century, Joe Purdue AKA Joey P, has been moving the crowds with nothing more than two turntables, a mixer, and a record bag. Joe played Drum and Bass records weekly at The Grand Café in Farmington, with a residency that lasted the better part of two years, from 2001-2003. Not just Michigan has seen Joe every week, record bag in hand. The state of Florida also had the privilege of seeing him every week at a night called PS14 in South Beach from 2005-2006. Joe has also been a hired gun at some of Michigan’s top Drum and Bass parties. The summer of 2007 received his sounds at Jungle Juice at The Works in Detroit, and also Bump the Funk and Simply Delicious at the Labyrinth during DEMF. Even before this he was a regular guest at Substance in Detroit and Hydro Mondays in Ann Arbor. Some drum and bass fanatics in Michigan might recognize the name of Hydro Mondays. This night at The Necto was headed up by Ann Arbor’s own, Ronin Selecta and FatCal. This night came to an end in August of 2007, with a spectacular finale featuring Soundmurderer, Submorphics, and Detroit’s own DJ Seoul. The following week was Labor Day here in the United States, and many of Ann Arbor’s Junglists left The Necto that night unsure of the fate of weekly Drum and Bass in Ann Arbor. Mr. Perdue never missed a beat. The following week proceeded as usual, but with a different mission. Joey P was selected to head up a new vision of the night called Bassline, that had the same hard hitting core of Drum and Bass, but with added diversity of non Drum and Bass acts, drawing from Michigan’s deep and pure electronic music talent pool. The inaugural night was kicked off with the usual bang, with special guest DJ Nimbus from Breakloose Detroit, along with up and coming producer and DJ Jeremy “Sinistarr” Howard. The night is now as potent as it ever was adding local hard-hitter Sandoz as a resident DJ at the Necto. For almost 3 years, the Necto has seen many of Michigan’s favorite DJs playin all styles to back up Joe’s diverse selections. Detroit’s DJ Seoul of the Detroit Techno Militia and Bang Tech 12, Dilemma of Breakloose Detroit, DJ Nimbus of Breakloose, Matt Hagerty of Sub Pressure and Rouge Dubs, and Submorphics have all graced the night, that is still hosted by the omnipresent Teddy MC and Yoda of Hydro fame with periodic appearances and collaborations with Ann Arbor’s favorite Raggae act, King Jazzy. The last few years have been making the night grow stronger. With such world famous talent like Gridlok, Capital J, Calculon, Random Movement, Radiata, Spktrm, Friske, and Placid. Joey P aka Joey Pistols has become a staple in the Michigan dnb scene. Last year he shared the stage with one of his all time favorite Djs: DJ Dara, member of the world famous American Drum and Bass outfit, Planet of the Drums at The Works in Detroit. 2009 saw Joey play alongside Sandoz at Lava Bar in Chicago at their Liquid Night, joined by MC King Jazzy. If you like hard tunes, liquid rollers or anything in between Joey Pistols is a dj you don't want to miss, whether he’s playing an old school jungle set, fresh techy smashers, smooth rolling liquid funk or even Dubstep, Joey Pistols has yet to run out of ammunition for the speakers, he’s always reloading.
