Evil Bastards:
http://soundcloud.com/evilbastards
Evil Bastards are an electronic act out of Kansas City featuring Timmy Tutone, GoodGawd, and Neuraal. Since they first teamed up in 2010 they have quickly emerged as one of the most well-known electronic groups in the KC area and have performed alongside the likes of MartyParty, Datsik, Borgore, and Vibesquad while also blowing up sound systems at major festivals like Wakarusa and Kanrocksas. This electronic duo made their reputation throwing down some of the angriest dubstep around while also incorporating an impressive command of glitch hop and electro house into their sets and recordings. Evil Bastards haven't just gained popularity on the live circuit but are also a presence online. They have seen airtime on Dubstep.fm and have a number of features in online music publications. As countless members of the SoundCloud community can attest, their uploads of original work and remixes will have you nodding to a diversity of beats.
While they are a relatively new electronic act, Evil Bastards have a remarkable amount of tracks, remixes, and EPs. These producers have been committed to a high level of productivity since their formation and continue to dive into different material: they have no trouble bringing it with renditions of some old school Montell Jordan or keeping it current with DJ Khaled. Whether they are playing the freakiest breaks or the grimiest bass, Evil Bastards are always ready for a huge delivery in studios and on stages.

Ro Knew:
http://soundcloud.com/roknew
Ranging from vintage-sounding, organic hip-hop to futuristic, 808-heavy dubstep & bass music, Ro Knew's various soundscapes are tied together by the common elements of soul-shaking drums, thick basslines, and light-hearted but honest lyricism. As a hip-hop artist, Ro has collaborated with the likes of Psalm One (Rhymesayers) and Qwazaar (Typical Cats), and shared stages with legends such as Devin the Dude, Raekwon, and Brother Ali.
In 2010, Ro Knew helped establish Ritual Dubstep with the Irie Cartel crew, and it has since grown into the biggest dubstep weekly in San Francisco. He has also put out several acclaimed DJ mixes and can now be seen throwing down heavy dubstep sets at various nightclubs across the West Coast. Whether on the mic or behind the decks, Ro is able to move crowds by focusing on one simple rule: "Make the people feel somethin'!"
