- DJ DRU RUIZ - (Cultured Citizens/Nightsneak ent./Hijacked Records)
DJ Dru Ruiz was born on Detroit’s Southwest-side. He became passionate with music after attending music festivals in downtown Detroit's Hart Plaza, as early as he can remember. After attending his first underground party in 1993, “Spaztik” at the Famous Packard Plant, he was hooked. Soon after, Dru bought Technic 1200s turntables and then locked himself in his room and learned the art of mixing and scratching with friends. His mentor and close friend, Techno Pioneer Mike Huckaby, who gave him his first gig at Detroit's Burns room above St. Andrews Hall in 1994 and on to perform at the first Detroit’s Electronic Music Festival(D.E.M.F.) in 2001, now called Movement. He has over the years preformed at many events and festivals all over the U.S. and Canada. With his unique style of producing tracks, excellent track selection, constant mixing, and tricks is what sets him aside from every other DJ.
His diverse style ranges from Techno, Electro, Tech House, Acid, Jungle, Minimal, to Hip Hop. He has performed with many artists including DJ Assault, Aux88, Farley Jackmaster Funk, DJ Sneak, Richie Hawtin, Terry Mullen, Juan Atkins, Adam Beyer, DJ Dan, Bad Boy Bill, Green Velvet, and Afrika Bambaataa just to name a few. DJ Dru is one of Detroit’s favorite artists and will always keep the dance floors packed, sweaty, and always bouncing to his beats.

"Twice as Proper" and their founders:
Craft & Shadi have been a DJ duo since 1994 on those legendary Technics 1200's. Then followed the years of CDJ technology and mixers with effects, always keeping it dark, deep, dirty real serious. They now often perform live mixes with the ultimate Xponent controller, with many built-in live effects. They go on with explosive sets, chopping' up loops and samples, all while in the mix. The result is always "Massive". Twice as Proper is a New York City Based Underground Techno Events organization. Shadi & Craft co-created the movement "Twice as Sweet" which then became "Twice as Proper Sessions". With an impressive over 200 events and counting in the past 5 years alone, it is now well known in the NYC minimal techno scene. With quite an illustrious list of guest DJ bookings in venues across Manhattan & Brooklyn, there is always something exciting and different to expect from the events. In 2010, Twice as Proper hosted 8 events in Playa del Carmen (Mexico) during the winter, as well as keeping regular NYC events alive as always. 2011 looks promising, as last year was really good for the two artists, bringing International tours in 5 countries, international radio shows, podcasts, music productions, TV coverage, soundcloud recordings listened to in over 60 countries, new fans and friends. Craft & Shadi promise to rip it Proper. No crap.

- DUCKHUNTER (Uberkontrol Records - NYC)
Duckhunter is an electronic music producer from New York City who has profoundly began to influence the NYC Underground Techno scene, bringing together psychedelic and hypnotic grooves with over-the-edge sounds, brought together with his live musical skills; playing base, guitar, piano, and experimenting with sound as though it was a liquid substance for over 10 years. A new phase of productions and performances began in late 2009, when Duckhunter officially signed with UberKontrol Techno label; which prooved to become a homebase electronic music label for his acclaimed releases from 2008 onward such as; "Ich bin eine Entejager" ("I am the Duck Hunter) with Alex Salganik (Uberkontrol), as well as "Lockdown JailHouse EP release of 2009" (on Beatport April 11th), "Gravity EP Release", also Tech House releases such as "TempoRed" and "Teleport" on Elastic Gun Records label in 2008 and 2009. Duckhunter uses the power of electronic musical sound, to bring people to a religious and almost euphoric and sedative experience, sharing the energy of his bright-burning, orange and energetic so called "Duckhunt", which itself tells a story to the party people of a ever-changing adventure though time and space, venturing to a deserted island on the outskirts of nowhere... Duckhunter's music evolved to have a characteristic & classy Tech Housy and minimalistic essence, with clean-cut scientific and precise grooves & occasionally twisted psycho-acoustic vocals with a plastic or rubbery whooling base precicely modified & engineered kick, with 3D transience as well as a spectral array of groovy and psychedelic sound frequencies. Producing specifically electronic music for only 4 years, Duckhunter is becoming a new and revolutionary phenomenon in New York City. His active collaborations with artists such as Unsaved6, Alex Salganik (Uberkontrol), On da Skillet (Aerotropic), Craft (Craftmusicproductions), etc., as well as label residency on Uberkontrol label and EA Gun Records for Tech House and Minimal Techno releases is greatly anticipated by dance music events in the Brooklyn Underground Loft Scene in NYC, as well as a whole summer of performances in and outside of the United States. Duckhunter is constantly sharpening his technical skills as a electronic music producer; creating his twisted and dancy but at the same time morphed and fashioned futuristic trend of pure and magestic electronic sound pleasing crowds as well as firing up and sometimes cooling down the energy on the dancefloor.
