VERITY
Verity’s been behind the decks for 18 years. He has a mad passion and love for the Oldskool Techno, Breakbeat and Jungle sounds of the early 90’s and evolved into Drum & Bass as well as a wide variety of other electronic music genres. Collecting as many mixtapes as he could get his hands on, he eventually graduated to vinyl and DJ’ing in the mid 90’s. He’s inspired by the original sounds of L.A. DJ’s such as R.A.W., DJ Trance and Ron D Core. He’s played a variety of shows and clubs but also spent quite a bit of time doing intimate outdoor renegade sessions with his close friends who shared the same passion and joy of just getting outdoors, and playing music, LOUD!

Tonight’s guest MELLINFUNK!!!
>> click here for audio archive <<
One of the original godfathers of LA underground, DJ Mellinfunk has been sending
crowds over the edge since 1989. Known for being R.A.W’s first partner, Mellinfunk is recognized for a heart thumping variety of old school, techno, jungle, hard acid techno and playing hip hop acapellas over his own sick beats. In 1998 he started a jungle music label called Mainline Records. With over 50 mixes under his belt, Mellinfunk produced 2 of the biggest selling mixed tapes of all time. He’s killed crowds all across Europe and just about every state in the US including legendary shows like Grape Ape, Technostate, No-doz, What, and Love Parade. Now since returning to rock the scene in 2012 Mellinfunk fired up the decks once again to blow away new and returning fans and has solidified himself as So Cals Leading Acid Techno Performer. To put it simply, in the genre of Acid Techno it’s just not a party without the Techno Viking!

Holger aka “Engineeer” is producer and live performer of electronic music. Born and raised in Germany, he is highly influenced by the european club and rave culture
of the 90s, as well as the pioneers of electronic music and today’s so called EDM. He loves squelching acid bass lines, which he incorporates in most of his tracks.You can find his music and live pa sets when searching for Engineeer – with triple “e” – on SoundCloud and Mixcloud.Sharing the love to Acid House, Acid Techno, Acid Trance and other 303 driven styles is his passion. With his new event Series “Acid Rain”, Holger wants to make
the 303 sound more popular and give artists of this genre a platform to grow their audience. Before starting “Acid Rain”, Holger gained experience in event organization
by helping to organize the San Diego based event series “AcidVarsity”.

Rvltion-909:
Rvltion-909 aka Lou Acosta is a SoCal based House Music DJ who first started spinning vinyl in 1997. Local havens such as Dr. Freecloud’s Record Shoppe in Orange County fueled his growing fascination with electronic music & opened his eyes to a world of emerging subgenres. Carefully studying DJ technique, he developed an affinity towards mixing styles that used subtle nuances over longer periods of time, creating “journeys” with his mix sets. As he refined and developed his sound, he dove into the digital realm (applying new technologies and acquiring a taste for music production). He has played such local venues as Ten (X), Proof & House of Blues. Some of his production work can be heard on labels such as Exclusive Recordings in the UK. His monthly DJ mixes in the flavors of; House, Progressive, Tech & Acid can also be heard on Melodic Tronic Radio (KX 93.5 FM Laguna Beach).

T3TSUO 303:
Dutch born DJ/ Producer T3TSUO 303 has been part of the techno scene for
many years, producing and performing under different monikers and currently
operating from Los Angeles, California.
In 2013, inspired by japanese cinema and technology , he invented a new style and name to go with it.
The name T3TSUO comes from Shinya Tsukamoto’s Tetsuo films, and 303 from the famous Roland TB 303 bassline synth which is one of the core ingredients for making genuine Acid music. Both are major influences on his audio/visual style for this brand.
After the underground success of “Mada Okiteru” from the Live in Tokyo EP (supported by people like Andrew Weatherall), we are now seeing “Visitor Q” and the 0010×0010 collaboration “Bullet Ballet” climbing the Acid and Techno charts.
2015 promises to be an interesting year for T3TSUO 303, with many DJ and Live PA shows across the globe kicking off at OC’s “Acid Rain “ events with a Live PA set February 5th.

3MT
“This guy plays under the underground” –anon
Rob Wright has been playing with electronic music equipment and producing tracks since 1987. He entered the rave scene back in 1991 doing visuals (VJ) for parties mostly located in Orange County and LA area. In the mid 90’s Rob helped form The Unity Project which went on to throw a number of parties in the Southern California area. For a brief period (2001-2002) Rob moved up to Northern California. During this time he created and hosted a community access television show called ZEN tv. The shows format was based on KUCI’s Riders of The Plastic Groove. In 2003 Rob moved back down to So Cal to return to the entertainment industry. He currently runs the sound department at a successful video game developer in LA but spends most of his free time nurturing his pet project 3MT (3lectronic Music Technician). The primary focus of the 3MT project is expanded mobile live production. Rob has put together “the rig” to facilitate this goal. The rig consists of an 3MT stretcher mounted with a mixture of audio hardware and software solutions all running through an on board PA. You can think of the act as a sort of techno side show. When playing live, 3MT’s main focus is on Guerrilla performance. It all started with Rob’s first gate crash back in 1998 at Nocturnal Wonderland. Since then he has performed at a number of shows. Speakerheads, Spaceland, Mr. Bubbles, Nocturnal Wonderland, JuJubeats, Coachella Music Festival are just to name a few.
