What happens when you take two DJ's with 5 thousand thoughts and put them together performing live??

You get a twisted performance.

Brian and Jon started DJ'ing back in 2000. Both on separate paths, they each pursued a dream of sharing the love of electronic music. After dealing with a tight DJ circuit they put the wax away and focused towards production. “What is the pleasure of playing somebody else’s music and taking credit for it?” says Jon. Well that’s what started the change in mentality for both of them. “Instead of playing others stuff why don’t we play our own.” Being limited in funds to buy a vinyl press, and refusing to use CD’s they decided to take the show to the road.
Now this is the fun part…..
After looking at other Live PA acts and seeing that most people have their set pre-programmed, they decided to take a DJ approach towards a performance. Taking random patterns “Not knowing what the other is going to do” and seaming them together in unison and flow.

That’s where they stand out.
No practice
No rules
Just two guys putting down the beats in a raw, uncut, improv performance…
