    THA TRICKAZ
    http://www.myspace.com/thatrickaz

    Self-labelled “Tha Viet­namists” and life­long­time friends, Pho & DJ iRaize, founded the group over eight years ago, based on a mutual need to push musi­cal bound­aries as well as their own tech­ni­cal lim­its. They are based in Paris, France.
    Their live per­for­mances best illus­trate the magic of com­bined imag­i­na­tion: rare and tra­di­tional vinyl cut up with sam­pling, scratch­ing, ana­log instru­ments, live musi­cians & the MPC real time drum­ming. All this com­bined with killer beats to shake the floor! They played along­side inter­na­tional artists such as Kid Koala, Wu Tang Killa Beez, Mix Mas­ter Mike, Bus­driver, The Scratch Per­verts, Wax Tailor,Dj Ken­taro and even skate­board leg­end Tony Hawk for the Quick­sil­ver Tony Hawk Show in Paris.
    The orig­i­nal­ity of their music has ini­ti­ated world­wide col­lab­o­ra­tions with respected artists such as Shabazz the Dis­ci­ple, Kil­larmy, Hell Razah (Sunz Of Man), Tariq.L , Genghis Khan, Non Genetic, Mc Yoke (Tokyo), Ali (45 Sci­en­tific), La Fine Equipe (Paris).
    Wax Tai­lor “Say Yes” 2009 remix con­test win­ner & “Décou­vertes du print­emps de bourges 2009”, they released their first unof­fi­cial LP, “Icon­o­clast Sound Adven­ture” in 2005. This year they’re releas­ing “The Cloud EP”, fea­tur­ing 3 tracks from the forth­com­ing album “Cloud Adven­tures” and “Mega­phone”.
    Tha Trickaz rep­re­sent the per­fect com­bi­na­tion between 90’s hip hop and elec­tro music such as dub­step or drum & bass.

    DJ NOBODY

    Nobody is one Elvin Esela who was been releas­ing records since 2000′s LA under­ground opus Soul­mates (Ubiq­uity) which fea­tured his moody pro­duc­tion along with LA MC’s Medusa, 2Mex, Freestyle Fel­low­ship, Abstract Rude and Aceyalone. Time spent immersed at Los Ange­les col­lege radio sta­tion KXLU, Nobody took his love for 90′s indie rock and 60′s psy­che­delia into a cre­ative shift for his 2003 release Pacifc Drift (Ubiq­uity). This time the beats hinted at a more elec­tronic edge and fea­tured vocal­ists rather than MC’s, includ­ing Chris Gunst (Beach­wood Sparks), Lan­guis, Paul Lar­son and Jimmy Tam­borello (Dntel/Postal Ser­vice). Nobody and Gunst’s cover of The Mon­kees’ “Por­poise Song” sowed the seeds for their full length col­lab­o­ra­tion Nobody & The Mys­tic Chords of Mem­ory Tree Col­ored See (Mush) in 2005. 2006′s And Every­thing Else (Alpha Pup) saw a com­bi­na­tion of both aes­thet­ics into a more beat heavy approach that fea­tured guest singers as well as MC’s includ­ing Mia Doi Todd, Xololanx­inco (OMD) and Prefuse 73. Delv­ing right into a full length col­lab­o­ra­tion with singer Niki Randa, Nobody cre­ated his most cohe­sive work to date in Blank Blue: West­ern Water Music Vol. 2. 2010 sees Nobody tak­ing all the reigns him­self with his lat­est release One For All With­out Hes­i­ta­tion (Alpha Pup), which finds Nobody in singer song­writer mode, grac­ing his own pro­duc­tions with his own auto­tune laced vocals. Nobody has also been part of the Low End The­ory club that brings the fresh­est beats to the LA scene every week. His DJ sets are known to trans­port lis­ten­ers to Los Ange­les, rang­ing from unre­leased bangers from LA locals to rare 60′s psy­che­delia from Nobody’s vault.

    DJ KORRECT (NZ)
    Korrect’s style is a mix­ture of pre­cise and well com­posed cuts and beat-juggling with a tra­di­tional flavour, uti­liz­ing both new and golden era hip-hop and 60’s-70’s funk. After mov­ing away from New Zealand, and unable to com­pete in over­seas bat­tles due, Kor­rect chose to fur­ther develop his tech­ni­cal skills, focus­ing on per­fect­ing an intri­cate form of trick-mixing and scratch com­po­si­tion which com­bines bat­tle skills in a club friendly style. With a wide eclec­tic col­lec­tion of music rang­ing from clas­sic and golden era hip hop to rock, his sets always have some suprises. If you’re a fan of qual­ity music, you’ll dig it.

    2002 NZ Regional ITF Final­ist
    2004 NZ Regional Cham­pion
    2005 NZ Regional Cham­pion
