Press, championing Neurofunk-inspired Dubstep, Press has been an integral part of the Seattle Dubstep community since its early inception. Having been an avid Junglist since ’00, he began to take notice of Dubstep in ‘04 and in ’05 when he attended the seminal London club night “FWD”; his love for the sound was sealed. With the majority of his releases on the mighty Shift Recordings label, his list of releases span some of the best in Dubstep today, including Onset, Requiem, Gradient, Gamma, Paradise Lost, Sub Pressure, Rottun, TwentyTwelve, Kursed, and Betamorph. Press hopes to continue bringing quality tunes that move minds as well as masses.

ALEXANDRE (Florida)

(pronounced "ah-lehk-SAHND")
Determined to carve a place for himself in the crowded landscape of electronic music, Miami Beach native Alexandre's most recent work skews towards aggressive, bass-driven tunes that fearlessly explore the darkest reaches of the spectrum while maintaining a sophisticated level of depth and musicality. Known for his energetic and punishing performance style as a controllerist DJ, Alexandre crushes dancefloors wherever he plays, sweeping across a range of tempos and keeping the crowd on their toes. Coupled with a steadily-growing international fanbase and numerous official releases out now with more on the way, Alexandre is coming for your eardrums.

LABRAT (Santa Cruz)
http://soundcloud.com/labrat
http://www.facebook.com/LabRatMusic

Travis Egner-Williams aka Labrat has been making music for close to ten years. This 22 year old producer, reppin' Santa Cruz has been a part of many musical projects over the years. He played guitar in a Death Metal band called Crucifornication for 4 years, and produced rap beats under the name "7th Ave Mole Heshens". Most recently he's submerged himself into the world of EDM and Dubstep has guided Labrat into almost strictly electronic production in the past 3-4 years. This up and coming producer has crafted a very unique sound for himself that can best be described as melodically infused dance floor bangers. Labrat has been rockin' dance floors around the Bay Area, for the past year with his face slaying bass. He was picked up by GruntWorthy Music in early 2011, and first release, “Test Subject” is solid fire that will surely take the world by storm.
