PAWN

Pawn (born David Sandstrom) is both a member and producing artist of Los Angeles-based dubstep collective SMOG. Currently residing in San Francisco, (the only SMOG artist living outside the City of Angels), his dynamic California-style and charismatic productions place him in a wide range of electronic music genres. Surrounded by the colorful palette of The Golden State's endless musical influences, Sandstrom's productions venture through layers of glitch-hop and jungle, often energized by elements of crunk and painted with the guttural auras of dubstep.

CALCULON

Nik Calculon, is a California native, however the last few years have seen this dj perform farther and farther away from home, and 2013 will see Calculon playing new venues across America, Europe, and beyond. His label Rubik Records continues to go from strength to strength, and several vinyl releases are lined up starting from the beginning of the year onward.


CHRISTINA TAMAYO

Emerging from Chicago's southside comes Christina Tamayo, an airy songstress focusing on deep and thought-provoking melodies and lyrics. Raised on the R&B hits and prominent sounds of Chicago house in the 90s, she later found her niche in the soulful realms of electronic music. Throughout her career, she has jumped at opportunities to expand her vocal ability and style. She is never one to shy away from new realms and genres, from the more soulful to the minimal, gritty and beyond. With every collaboration, her palate and appreciation for music expands, gaining knowledge of the greats before and those to come.
