Radiohiro
(USA/Chicago | Asian Massive Ethno-Breaks)
Radiohiro has been bringing the electronic sounds of the Indian subcontinent straight to Chicago for years under the monthly club night Bombay Beatbox. A lifelong music producer, drummer and DJ, Radiohiro has been rewriting the sounds of London's "Asian Underground" movement. His sound can be best described as bass induced breakbeats/electronica with mixtures of lush Hindustani, Punjabi and East Indian Bollywood music seamlessly worked in. He has recently been getting features on the UK’s BBC 1 and Asian Network, in addition to collaborating with and remixing artists such as Karsh Kale.

DJ Dhakfu
(USA/India | Global Underground Electronica)
Born in New England and raised across the USA, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia, DhakFu arrived in Chicago in 1999 looking for the source of the electric blues. In its place he found a city overrun with DJs, a population addicted to House music, and a community of artists and listeners producing a constantly evolving sound. DhakFu lives to share the sounds and arts of the global underground with the citizens of Chicago and the world beyond.
