Learning to swim at a very young age led benchun to love water. After undergoing treatment for some problems with progressive trance in the late 1990s, he claims to be completely clean today. Still the owner of a large vinyl collection, he is no longer a purist for analog — the temptation of laptop mashups and remixes became too much to resist. Download benchun’s mixes.

Dr. Toastproject555toast.jpg

In addition to being the world’s foremost authority on toast, Dr. Toast also composes downtempo electronic music. Think head-nodding beats and somniferous melodic textures, plus bass explorations of nearby planets. Download Dr. Toast’s music.

Alxndr likes unicorns, bubble-stickers and fireflies. His favorite quote is, “Only time will tell if we stand the test of time.” If he had a puppy he’d name it Sergio. He likes long walks on the beach and longer walks in the mountains. In the inevitable coming battle between man and machine he will stand by your side until the bitter end. Basically, it comes down to this: whichever way the beat drops our bodies will go, so swing it over here Mr. DJ, and we will, we will rock you. Download Alxndr’s mixes.

Obsessed with the unreal, halon often finds himself involved with groups that use such terms in their name, such as False Profit and Fake Science. He embraces his “Gemini-ness” and leverages his twin energy to focus on two different styles of music: bumping electro-house and laid back downtempo. Recently unshackled from 50-lbs of vinyl (and a long hiatus in Oakland) he can be found at a sound system near you. Download halon’s mixes.

DJJD

DJJD’s first experiments in sound began in childhood, sampling static’s crackle into his SK-8 with a bare wire on the warm TV screen, and methodically dismantling a huge console speaker to find out exactly what was making all the sound. Of course, some answers only lead to more questions… Download DJJD’s mixes.
