VALIDA
This bass soulja loves to mix it up. Look inside her crate and you'll find
house,2-Step, broken beat, jungle, bossanova, jazz If you catch her DJ-ing
across town, her set is bound to hop from one style to another because as she
puts it: "There is only one thing worse than someone who doesn't like to get
down--someone who ONLY likes to get down to one kind of music!"

T-BIRD
T-Bird's love of sound both natural and altered has always influenced his
production and deejaying. He has been a DJ in his hometown of Santa Monica,
California (a beach city in the Los Angeles area) for over 10 years.
His career began with residencies at L.A. acid-jazz staples Internationalist
and his own night, Jazzid Up!, which established his sound and crowd-pleasing
mixing style in a tough town to move. T-Bird has graced the decks of many
venues, such as Wikkid! (@Guernica), Astor Lounge, Final Home, and Drive-By
in New York, The Las Vegas Hilton, and other Los Angeles spots including The
Room (both Hollywood and Santa Monica), Martini Lounge, Lounge 217, The Mix
(and its previous incarnation as The Pink), Club Sugar, The Canal Club, 360
Lounge, Moguls (Vinyl & 1650’s previous existence before remodeling),
Goldfinger, Atlas, and the Park Plaza Hotel. More recently T-Bird has
maintained residencies at Something Else! @ The Brig and Cookin', a night
that laid the foundation for Los Angeles' first 2-Step Garage weekly, Pull.
T-Bird has played beside DJ greats Marques Wyatt, Swedish Egil, and Mark Hill
of
Artful Dodger. Years of dedication behind the decks has resulted in a smooth
style with both soul and dancefloor punch as well as eclectic surprises to
keep the crowd guessing.
What the future holds is never certain, but T-Bird's plans include lots of
recording (both remixes and
original material), touring, and hopefully moving into
a place where he can make more noise...
BARRETT BOY
Barrett Boy started mixing it up 3 years ago in his home town Leicester, UK.
With a predominantly drum and bass background, Barrett Boy has played a lot
of sets at clubnights including, Formation @ Junction21 and Sonic Boom @ The
Charlotte in Leicester, Breakitup @ The Union and Misspent Youth @ Greens in
London.
With the uk garage scene bursting at the seam in London. DJ "Barrett Boy"
arrived in Los Angeles to find the tables turned. Missing the sound of the
heavy based, raw, vocal & broken beat sound of 2 step Barrett Boy and company
are joining in the effort to push 2 step to the forefront of the LA club
scene with Beetsoup.
