DJ C
(USA/Chicago | Digital Dancehall World Fusion)

Beat producer, party scientist and remixer of artists from M.I.A. to Gregory Isaacs, DJ C continues to spread his eclectic gospel of bass-heavy, bounced-up, dance floor genre-blends across the globe. His newest CD is described as "A digital-dancehall groove graced by the other-worldly sound of a Theremin; crunk, dub, drum ’n’ bass, reggae, the distorted bass and beats of grime and breakcore crammed into a three-minute track”
- Time Out New York

MC Zulu
(USA/Panama | Caribbean Digital Dancehall)

Producer, engineer and reggae singer, Zulu got his start as a producer of house and underground hip hop in Chicago, but his Panamanian/Jamaican roots eventually brought him back to reggae, creating his own riddims from scratch and bringing a distinctly Panamanian perspective. His initial tracks were in both English and Spanish, with a strong reggaeton influence but later evolved into focusing mainly on the Caribbean patois style and ruff dancehall delivery. Zulu’s international combinations, his timeless-yet-futuristic melodic sensibilities and verbal acumen, and his raw talent make him one of the brightest up-and-comers on the dancehall scene today.
