Gaudi
Makes his only scheduled Bay Area appearance this year at the North Bay's premiere music venue, Hopmonk Tavern. Following up on last year's headlining slot at Harmony Festival's Techno Tribal Dance. Gaudi returns to the SF North
Bay with an arsenal of new tunes, live dub-trickery and heavyweight stompers from his newest album "No Prisoners". Marked by dirty electro and reggae-ruffed beats, Celtic dubstep, Middle Eastern dub and deep, whumpy global electronica, "No Prisoners" is his most seminal release to date, bar none!

Heyoka

Heyoka AKA Andrei Olenev is a cosmic auditory scientist found in the Bay Area noosphere, who has been blowing minds with his sonic manipulations.A¨Muti Music first released Heyoka's Space Case EPâ in 2008 and included him on their growing roster of talented artists. His albums 'Whomp Gland & Pineal Dub', 'Gate Code' and the all new 'Marklar' album in 2010 have shown
that he is a producer consistently evolving his musical style while managing to maintain a signature sound that is distinctively 'Heyoka'.

DJ Dragonfly

From the straits of Gibraltar to the shores of the Ganges, Dragonfly's sets bridge all variations of the underground dance scene and the ecstatic dance scene. Incorporating genre-morphing bass culture with the leading edge of world electronica and programming, his mixes fuse Dubstep, Downtempo, Breaks, Glitch, House and Drum n Bass with the sounds of the global village. Traditional cultural sounds, including sitars, Brazilian percussion, indigenous vocal samples, Middle Eastern instrumentation, etc. add their definitive melodic lift in his creation of a unique dancefloor
experience!

SF Bay Area dance enthusiasts consistently place him in the top 10 percentile at the DJ polls for his unique sound and
added live percussion.
