This is happenin in Portland, Oregon on Saturday 16 May. This is a Ground Breaking Events event so trust me when i say this will be one bangin party with good vibes!!THIS IS A BLACK LIGHT THEMED PARTY! PLEASE DRESS UP IN WHITE OR NEON COLORS!!AREA 1 :: BREAKS :: ELECTROwww.myspace.com/djdigdugDJ Dig-Dug is a widely renowned breakbeat DJ/Producer hailing from the Northwestern United States. From the purchase of his first set of turntables in 1995, to his performances in Taiwan; Doug has spent the last decade rising to the forefront of the global breakbeat movement.Over the last 10 years DJ Dig-Dug has been a resident artist for the Northwest’s largest electronic music event production company, USC Events (www.uscevents.com). As an integral part of USCs legendary club nights and parties; Doug contributed not only behind the decks, but behind the scenes as well. As the company's sole breakbeat respresentative, DJ Dig-Dug has made a habit of performing alongside the industrys elite artists.Known for his incredible track selection and polished technical skills, DJ Dig-Dug has managed to develop an undeniably unique style. While his sets often travel through several different types of breaks (Funky, Progressive, Dark, Ragga), the constant barrage of warped basslines and intelligent drum loops unite his signature sound. With impressive beat juggling, cross-fader cutting, and creative manipulation of the Pioneer DJM-600’s onboard effects, DJ Dig-Dug has developed a following based on skills… not hype.In 1997 Doug further defined his sound by beginning to incorporate his collection of rare speed garage records into his DJ sets. The musical genre is famous for layering time-stretched vocals and fierce basslines over a house-style drum loop. Although they’re much harder to find these days, Doug continues to add to his impressive arsenal of speed garage vinyl. By utilizing seamless transitions to combine multiple musical styles, DJ Dig-Dug has separated himself from the rest of the pack.The roots of Dougs production experience can be traced back to his time spent in Florida in early 1998. While there he studied electronic music production under Defcon 6 (aka DJ Hipp-e and Red Void). Together, the three produced “Innerscape", a breakbeat track later released on the Miami-based label, Platinum Groove Entertainment. Doug was addicted to this fusion of music and technology, and later completed an intense Audio Engineering program at Expression Center for New Media in Emeryville, California. Armed with his degree, a Macintosh G5, and a Pro Tools Rig – DJ Dig-Dug now composes and engineers all of his self-produced work inside his personal studio.After 10+ years, DJ Dig-Dug continues to turn heads in the music industry with his growing allegiance of fans and countless performances alongside internationally renowned artists. His latest track “Crowd Control†(featuring lyrics by DJ Swamp) is further proof that his extensive technical training and creative ideas set him apart from the rest.JADEN iBreaks | Redcube www.redcube.com www.myspace.com/djjaden.comtables sparked an ever-so-powerful drive to develop the skills which were needed to express his love for the music and people from behind the decks.

Dance music was still very new to him at that time, but he was immediately captivated by the pounding basslines and catchy melodies. Four months later he played his first gig at a local nightclub called "The Cool School Cafe". And from that point on, James knew that he'd found his calling in life. James Renegade's energy behind the decks and natural ability to work the crowd is unparalleled to anyone else in the Portland circuit. Everytime he plays, he plays for his audience.

His "intoxicating" signature blend of Electro-House, Bass Heavy Breaks and Hard-dance has left dancefloors begging for more in his 5 year career as a DJ. His determination has landed him bookings in most every major city in the Pacific Northwest, Portland, Seattle, Boise, Bend, Eugene and as far out as Dallas, Texas. James has been featured on various worldwide radio stations such as afterhoursdjs.org, ibreaks.co.uk with host Jaden and local radio stations in the Northwest such as Seattle's c89.5 FM "The Vortex". James has recieved top billing at some of the hottest clubs in the NW such as Trinity, Dirty, Pala, The Baltic room, Ohm & The Greek Cusiana just to name a few. Not only is James a talented DJ but he's the owner of "Ground Breaking Events" (G.B.E.) a successful production company that has thrown many memorable events in Portland such as Rave to the grave, Nintechno, Big Bang Theory, Together, Pajamma Party, Utopia, Do you like bass? and Vibe alive.

The influence of 8-bit bleeps and bloops would later resurface into a full fledged love affair with techno music.Vixen taught herself to mix records at the age of 20 and shortly there after was rocking dancefloors through out the Northwest. Known for her brand of hard techno for many years, she has recently swapped the 140bpm style for a more stripped down, club friendly approach. Her current sound is a carefully crafted blend of minimal spiced with jackin tech-house, bangin funky techno, bass heavy electro and darker, eerie moments. Influences include Adam Beyer, Camea, Speedy J, Bryan Zentz, Dominik Eulberg and many more.This year Vixen has joined forces with SubSensory Recordings, a Portland based techno label that has been gaining momentum, and is expecting to release her own production work soon. She also holds a residency at Portland's premier techno club Branx, known for it's underground, dirty warehouse style vibe.JAMES CREWS P.Z.T. myspace.com/dj_defense EMTE Ground Breaking Events | Loop-eTOP-NOTCH LASERS & LIGHTS CONFIRMED, SUBCONSCIOUS SOUND & BASS-LAND SOUND CONFIRMED AND VENUE 100% CONFIRMED!!AGES: 16+PRICE: 15$ BEFORE MIDNIGHT. 20$ AFTER!!HOURS: 9PM-5AMSOUND BY: SUB CONSCIOUS SOUND & BASS LAND!!BLACK LIGHTS & VISUAL STIMULATION BY: TOP NOTCH & MOREATTRACTIONS INCLUDE: 100% FULLY PERMITTED & INSURED VENUE, 2 ROOMS OF MUSIC, FREE PARKING, FRIENDLY SECURITY, HELPFUL STAFF, BREAK DANCE COMPETITION AT MIDNIGHT, OUTSIDE SMOKING AREA, DRINKING FOUNTAINS, BOTTLED WATER & GLOWSTICK VENDING, PHOTOGRAPHY BY TAP TAP PRODUCTIONS, FREE WIRED ENERGY DRINKS TO THE FIRST 200 PEOPLE IN LINE AND SO MUCH MORE!!VENUE 100% CONFIRMED!
