Rhines
(Ninjaskillz, 7th Day Itch, DJ Culture)

_ From the early years of house parties at the Compound, to club gigs in and around Orange County and the Los Angeles area, to outdoor events all over Southern California and Mexico, and bookings in some of the best venues Los Angeles has, Rhines has honed a technique and style that is all his own.  Playing prime selections of Progressive, Electro, Tech, House and Breaks, his style is difficult to pin down, as his sets tend to defy the idea of genres, incorporating multiple styles into a fluid, cohesive mixed set that becomes something new every time. A love for rhythm and syncopation, movement and energy, and that deep, dark and dirty bass has always been the driving force behind his mixing, programming, and track selection.

_ Mainly playing alongside his DJ partner, JP, the tag team dynamic duo have annihilated every dance floor put in front of them, continually taking their sets to the next level. They have won the love, devotion, and support of many fans all over the area. Known for their spontaneous, energy infused, and heavily effected sets, the tag-team combo of JP & Rhines make each track they drop their own. Break the Beat or Four to the Floor... these two are highly skilled in the art of cutting the edge, and are tapping into new dimensions of aural satisfaction with their infectious sound.

_ With affiliations and ongoing collaboration with Innerflight Music, Ninjaskillz Music, DJ Culture, and a few others, Rhines has cemented a solid foundation for throwing collaborative events and underground parties.  He is always moving forward, listening and looking into the future, with no end in sight, as his DJ career is undeniably heading toward bigger and better things with every appearance. 

Brian Thomas
(Elevated Pulse, DJ Culture)

_ Known for his off the wall persona, and extremnely versatile skills behind the decks, Brian Thomas has become a familiar name around the So-Cal area. He has invested years into the world of dance music and has been involved in many different aspects; Keeping schooled by working at Simply Jeff's record shop, DJ Culture for over 3 years, Co-oping a re-curring night called 220v in L.A. and O.C., and spending hours upon hours in the studio polishing his own tracks.

_ Brian has played numerous events around the area and also in Boston. He focuses on keeping the world "Pidgeon Hole Free" as he likes to call it, by incorporating many different styles of dance music together in his sets. He also has been rooted from turntablism and loves to show it during his play. There is much that goes into being a well rounded artist, and this kid has it all, charisma, skill,motivation and dedication, look out!

JP
(Ninjaskillz, Compound)

_ In 2003, JP and his friend Rhines started throwing small little parties at their home, affectionately known as "The Compound". As time went on more and more people caught wind of the underground after hours house, and with the help of Jason Blakemore became infamous. He found himself playing along side DJ's like John Kelley, DJ Trance and Simply Jeff. Many local DJ's, that are playing the party, were a huge part of the success of The Compound.

_ Detroit Bar would be where the party started and The Compound is where it ended. The magnitude of the parties could only be measured by the people who were there. In 2005 JP and Rhines first played Detroit Bar, and it has been home ever since to them. They bring the energy of the compound to the dance floor every where they go, but home is where the heart is!

Blue
(Blue Insomnia)

_ I take refuse to music. It is the only place where every atom of my being dissociates into millions of conscious fragments reaching far and beyond the physical boundaries. It is here where I discover reality and it is here where, as far as I’m concerned, nothing really matters. It is a place that I feel safe. It is the place that I connect with my surrounding. It is a place where I create. This is where I’m today: http://www.blueinsomnia.com/mp3/its_4am_again.mp3

Cirel
(The Hump, Lucky Strike)

_ As Resident Dj at Lucky Strike Lanes in Orange I have learned what people like to hear. Sometimes this disappoints me, but when I started fusing together the things I like about music with the things that mainstream music buyers eat up, I found myself laughing. I find humor in the fact that It is fairly easy to exploit pop culture by using pop culture itself as a weapon. Expect the unexpected when you hear me. I play for the Ignorant as well as the educated. I am influenced by the swindle mentality invented by punk bands in the late seventies. But mix that state of mind with the one that prefers eclectic electric music and you get Cirel. Back in the day I started a weekly in long beach known as "The Hump". I felt like I had to do it, I felt like I was supposed to do it. In present times I look back at the night and reminisce. It makes me happy that I was able to bring together old friends and meet new ones. The time has come for me to "Reconnect" for the right reasons.
