We are a couple of Dj's and Vj's set to turn this world upside down. With explosive video sets, and raging dj sets, we are kickin' ass and takin' names. Don't miss us, coming to a town near you, or you will regret it!!!
Born in 2003, we are an A/V Act out of San Antonio, Texas. We started out of boredom more than anything else. They did not have much going on as far as visuals for the Rave Events that we were going to.
Deciding to take things into our own hands, we started to come out to parties with 1 projector, and a desktop computer. Running a multitude of software including Visual Jockey, Motion Dive Tokyo, and some lesser known ones, like OpenTZT, VVV, and others, we started to wow crowds and add an element to the scene that was missing.
DVJ +10 HP (known as Ape-1 at the time), helped us to expand not only the equipment being used, but bringing our whole show elements to another level.
Since then we have been vj'ing, and DJ'ing many, many parties. We have gotten to grace the stage with some of the best talent Worldwide including, but not limited to : Mea, Monk, Eric Ross, Kid Icarus, Diesleboy, AK1200, Dara, Keoki, Vicious Vic, Paul Anthony, Suzy Solar, 4 Strings, Exodus, Prophet, Bryan Cox, JJ Flores & Steve Smooth, Gein, Dead PA, and many many more.
We have been rated one of the Best A/V Acts in Texas, and have been compared to such greats as Rabbit in the Moon, and Gwar!
Our Sets are so hard that we have to wear Body Armor, and come out with Weapons of Mass Distortion!! Be on the look out for us coming to a town near you!!! (No Actual Ravers are harmed during our sets, at least not physically.... ;) )
