MAIN ROOM:
featuring the sounds of POTD....
DIESELBOY
(human, POTD, Philly)
It has been a long road to the top for drum ‘n’ bass DJ/Producer maverick Dieselboy. After years spent pushing the U.S. drum ‘n’ bass scene forward and making a name for himself, it’s easy to imagine that Dieselboy would want to step back and bask in his well earned success. But this is not the case… because for Dieselboy, it is the continual test that is the inspiration. Seeking out and approaching challenges head on, Dieselboy has taken it upon himself to tear down the walls that isolate music genres as well as expand the worldwide acceptance of drum ‘n’ bass as a whole and American-produced d‘n’b in particular. A part of the stateside electronic movement from the very beginning, Dieselboy is hailed as one of the Founding Fathers of American drum ‘n’ bass. His passion for the music and his rigorous touring and production schedules have earned him a slot in that upper pantheon of DJs able to perform to enthusiastic audiences the world over.
AK1200
(POTD, Orlando)
Orlando based AK1200 is unquestionably one of the united states top drum and bass DJ’s. Pioneeing the US drum and bass scene alongside his POTD coherts, ak1200’s talents have been used in remixing the likes of A Tribe Called Quest, Rabbit in the Moon, Keoki, Cirrus, Dub Pistols and Freesyle. His Stellar mix cds on the moonshine labels=, incessant Touring as well as critically acclaimed remixes have all helped to build AK1200 into one of the US’s acclaimed electronic artists. The future for AK1200 is becoming a reality rather quickly. Plans for his own artist imprint via Lakeshore - :\run recordings are being solidified now, and POTD members AK, Dieselboy, Dara and newly inducted MC J-Messinian have already planned on a studio collaboration before the years end. The incessant touring will of course continue as POTD is steadily proving that they are as much of a draw as any top name superstar DJ. As drum and bass and electronic music as a whole both expands and matures, AK1200 plans to be there leading the charge for the breakbeat massive at every step of the way.
DARA
(POTD, Breakbeat Science, NYC)
A member of the infamous Planet of the Drums crew alongside fellow drum ‘n bass pioneers AK1200, Dieselboy, & J Messinian , this Irish transplant has been a dominant figure in the U.S. drum ‘n bass scene since his arrival here in 1994. Dara co-founded the nation's first & largest drum ‘n bass record store, Breakbeat Science , in NYC which doubles as his own imprint, Breakbeat Science Recordings. He has been featured in countless magazine articles and interviews both in the US and worldwide. Dara's long standing relationships with the world's drum ‘n bass elite gives him access to an astounding amount of new and unreleased material. His brilliant recording endeavors along with his incessant touring markey by consistently awe-inspiring DJ sets have made him one of the most recognized and well respected DJs in the country.
MC J-MESSINIAN
(POTD, Philly)
Born in Los Angeles, California, J-Messinian (nee James Fiorella) bounced around the country nomad-like, eventually ending up in Philadelphia in the late 90's. As a child growing up, James developed a love for MC'ing: head-nodding to HipHop in oversized headphones and engaging in freestyle 'ciphers' with other "staircase artists". His formative musical roots ranged from Soul, to Hip Hop, to Latin percussion and Dancehall, to his mother Helena's emotional piano and guitar sessions The launch of the second annual Planet of the Drums tour in 2001 saw J-Messinian became a member of the POTD crew (Dieselboy, AK1200, and Dara). Presently, he can be seen and heard MC'ing around the country (and around the globe) alongside Dieselboy, AK 1200 and Dara, both within the collaborative framework of POTD and performing with each of the three superstar DJs individually. Messinian's enthralling stage presence and dope-ass rhymes speak to the fervid Drum and bass audience from the stage and beyond
