**** Phaded (Fresh-Kid.com/Subfix/SmartBar/Badman Press/Dubstep.fm) – Chicago, IL ****

Chicago’s favorite Dub-Slinger, Victor Holloway (aka Phaded) is a front-line veteran of the exploding North American Dubstep Scene. A Computer Science major at UMC, Phaded started out as a DJ at local clubs in his hometown of Columbia, Missouri. Always the audiophile, a journey through his music collection could take you down a path starting at Hip Hop, with stops to pay homage to Jazz & Blues Standards and carrying along to the sounds of Classic Rock and Dub Reggae. 

Phaded eventually made his way to Chicago in 2003 and was introduced to Dubstep three years later after he listened to the legendary ‘Dubstep Wars’ podcast hosted by Mary Anne Hobbes on BBC Radio 1. Distinguishing itself from its UK Garage and Grime predecessors, Dubstep tracks differ in style by a heavy emphasis on Sub-Bass and a distinct half-time structure. Although initially adopting the spacious minimal aspects of Dub Reggae, it now incorporates elements of many other genres, such as Hip Hop, Drum & Bass, Techno and Breaks. It was this vast sonic canvas that held so much appeal to Phaded and motivated him to give it exposure wherever he could.

With furthering the Dubstep sound in mind, Phaded took part in the development of two highly influential entities: Dubstep.fm and Dubfix. Launched in May 2007 out of Seattle, Dubstep.fm is the brainchild of DopeLabs, providing a high-quality internet radio stream to showcase the sound. Coinciding with the station’s launch was the first broadcast of Phaded’s ‘The Dented Sessions’. The show has had guest appearances from artists such as DZ, King Cannibal, DopeLabs and Zeno, as well as Chicago mainstays Nameloc, DJ Solo, Chris Widman and Whoa-B. Now approaching its 3rd anniversary, Dubstep.fm has grown from its humble beginnings to an extended community of DJs and volunteers, with a following that spans the globe.

Phaded’s other labor of love is the event that changed the way Chicago and the rest of the Midwest region embraced the sound: Dubfix. Since 2008 these events have provided a platform showcasing both pioneers of the genre and regional talent alike. Now in conjunction with Abstract Science, Dubfix affiliated events continue to bring you the sounds of the most talented performers in the world. It is the hottest Dubstep event Chicago has to offer, as evidenced by a list of featured artists including Skream, Rusko, Caspa, Benga, Mary Anne Hobbes, Distance, Tes La Rok and Excision.

Phaded has long embraced a digital medium both as a producer and performer, eventually embracing the power and flexibility of Ableton Live. His live sets are peppered with exclusive tracks direct from both artists and labels alike, with a long list of affiliations to established heavyweights: Badman Press, Betamorph Recordings, Savory Audio, Shift Records, and Filthy Digital to name a few. With an aggressive mixing style, top notch track selection and a knack for knowing how to work the crowd, the quest to hone his skills in the mix is never ending. It is this drive that defines him- both as a performer and behind-the-scenes player. With support from a cult-like following worldwide, Phaded will be delivering the music you’ve been waiting all your life to hear at Smartbar and beyond for years to come.

With residencies at New Yorks legendary Club Love, Darkroom in Brooklyn and Psychadelic Radio in SF, it's no wonder these guys are in high demand. Their weekly radio show on dubstepfm has gone from strength to strength and has helped push the awareness of bass music across the globe as well as providing a platform to hear the latest Hellfire creations first, often in early stages as they are delevoped in their now famously named studio Planet Twisted. Ending last year with A and R and project management credits for the Wu Tang 'Enter The Dubstep' album and a string of singles and remixes, they have hit the ground running in 2010. A fresh batch of releases due to hit the streets imminently, a new label project with techno legend Lenny Dee in the works as well as the next chapter in the infamous BASS FUELED MISCHIEF parties in their homebase of NYC.

<< DAVID FIELDS >>(dubstep, electro)
//Nasty Rumor//
St. Louis, MO
http://nastyrumor.info/
http://www.electrolouis.com/

Since picking up his first guitar in 2003, David Fields has been inspired by music of all ranges and genres from classical, to blues, to jazz, to metal. After two years of music theory, Fields began to discover the underground electronic music production scene with a profound interest in the heavy synthesizers and fluid basslines that inspire him today. Then, in 2007, Fields got his first pair of turntables, a year later began his partnership with Electrolouis, and the rest was history! Inspired by such artists as Sub Focus, Excision, Calvertron, Lee Mortimer, and Bassnectar, David Fields has began quickly making a name for himself in the past year by releasing his massive stage energy while dropping the loudest, crunchiest and most wobblely basslines around! Looking forward through 2010 with bookings alongside DJ SOLO, Shanksta, and many of STL's best as well, David Fields is sure to be a commonly heard name in STL's underground music scene! Expect HIGH energy on stage as well as seemless loops and clean mixes from bassline to bassline!
