Jason George:
Although Jason's history is spread across multiple genres, continents, clubs and raves, he is still one of the few that can lay down a slamming set of beats from any of his chosen genres, any given time, or place. In 2000 he moved into garage, 2 step and breaks, from a love of tribal house in the late 90's - but his interest in broken drum patterns soon grew and he has been integrating dubstep into his sets since 2003. During the recent growth of dubstep in Auckland, Jason's existing catalogue hasn't gone unnoticed and his drive for the phatest beats and deepest basslines will have the dancefloor shuffling for more, while they're dished sound pressure servings one dubplate after the other!

Jason Howson:
It was while watching drum and bass DJ Grooverider blending songs together on tour in the early 1990s that Jason Howson knew he wanted to become a DJ. Shortly after, he bought himself a set of turntables and began spinning records. And he hasn't stopped. Over the years, Howson has genre swapped between hip hop, drum and bass, 2 step, UK garage and dubstep. Although he says whatever it is he's playing, there is always heavy bass,
These days, Howson fills his days DJing at local club nights (one of which, Wheel, he also organises), supporting for international acts, and running Beat Merchants, a one-stop record shop in Auckland that covers dubstep, drum and bass, hip hop and reggae. You can hear him Wednesday nights on the Silk Cuts in Session show on George FM where he treats listeners to the freshest tunes from the musical worlds of UK garage, 2 Step, hip hop, drum and bass and dubstep.
