Reid Speed (BlueMoonProductions/NYC)
Reid Speed is a sonic force of nature. Over the past 10 years she has worked her way up from one of NYC’s favorite local drum & bass DJs to the hearts of many as a world class headliner in her own right. Reid is now well known for playing a variety of genres –from her classic d&b to nu skool breaks, 2 step, and hard electro house.
Currently residing in Los Angeles, Reid Speed was born & raised in the NYC underground. As a teenage raver with a dream and an undeniable spirit, she bought her tables while still in high school and began playing out less than a year later. She quickly became a staple of the NYC drum & bass and rave communities, as a resident for Stuck On Earth and Direct Drive. She was lucky enough to play alongside the top names in the business from the get-go and because of the immense competition the NYC fostered has always set the bar extremely high for her sets and mixes. Although she attracted much attention for being the first female jungle DJ to come up out of NY, it was her fierce skills – not her looks or that got her noticed on a national level.
Reid is now recognized as the US’s First Lady of Drum & Bass and also as one of the top US DJs, period. Any praise only fuels her fire to do more and better. She continues to wow her audiences wherever she goes, whatever type of music she plays, because of her true dedication to the music. Her passion for sound fights to unleash itself every day and her ever-growing fan base recognizes this and loves her for it. Hear it to believe it!
Reid is going to go to the other side tonight and co headline the breaks arena!!!!1

JASON BLUM * Producer & DJ
Release Records/Yoshitoshi/XM Radio
Jason Blum needs little introduction to devotees of electronic music‹as
a
DJ, producer, and part of the Los Angeles based duo Deepsky, his work
over
the past 14 years has topped charts around the globe and left an
indelible
mark on American dance music.
Jason¹s passion for the dance scene grew out of a fascination with
technology coupled with a deep immersion in late 80¹s club life, where
groups like Skinny Puppy, New Order, and Front Line Assembly laid the
groundwork for today¹s progressive scene. This synthesizer-driven music
was
second nature to a teenager raised on a steady diet of computers and
punk
rock, and in the early 90¹s he made the leap into music as a way of
life by
attending the University of New Mexico for theory and composition. It
was
there that he met fellow student J. Scott G and formed the seminal
electronic music group Deepsky in 1994.
As part of the Deepsky duo, Jason produced a wide range of successful
music,
including the 1997 smash hit ³Stargazer² and the critically acclaimed
2002
artist album, In Silico. Deepsky further cemented their reputation as
star
producers by crafting Billboard chart topping remixes for world-class
names
like Madonna, Seal, David Bowie, Paul Oakenfold, America, and The
Crystal
Method. Jason¹s work with Deepsky can also be heard on a wide range of
films, television programs, and video games including Bad Boys 2,
CSI:Miami,
SSX 3, and Gran Turismo 4. Deepsky¹s latest single, ³Ghost², has just
been
released by Release Records of Toronto, and has received glowing
reviews
from DJs and critics worldwide.
Over the past 14 years, Jason has performed live PA and DJ gigs at well
over
300 events around the world. His bi-weekly show for XM Satellite
Radio,
³Fundamental², is now well into its third year and offers millions of
listeners in the United States‹and others around the world via
Internet‹the
opportunity to hear fresh new dance tunes set against a backdrop of
classic
tracks that shaped the foundation of the scene we know and love today.
Jason
is also an accomplished technical writer who contributes in-depth
product
reviews to major publications like Remix Magazine and Future Music, and
is
actively involved with the National Academy of Recording Arts and
Sciences.

works and
upcoming performances, check the Deepsky website at http://www.deepsky.net
