KID KAMELEON
[OAKLAND | Mashit, Shockout, Surya Dub, XLR8R ]
Kid Kameleon is a beat strategist and technology enthusiast who blends, chops, restructures and generally smashes rhythms from across the sonic spectrum. From breakcore and ragga-jungle to dubstep and grime, with stops along the way at B-More, dub, dancehall, hip-hop, DnB, electro and the straight up unclassifiable, he's a champion of underground sounds and outsider music. The Kid has dropped his fast-paced, eclectic style at parties from California to Estonia, sharing stages with the likes of Kool Herc, U-Roy, DJ Spooky, Asian Dub Foundation, Alec Empire, Squarepusher, The Bug, Vex'd and The Plastician, and many more. A blogger (kidkameleon.com, riddimmethod.net, and localoaf.org), he also writes a monthly column called Basic Needs for XLR8R magazine covering "Low End Necessities from Ragga to Dubstep and beyond".

RIPLEY
[ OAKLAND | Mashit.com, Death$ucker, Spannered ]
Now disturbing Oakland, California, by way of Brooklyn, London, and Cambridge, MA, since 1996 Ripley has careened through 14 countries with no sign of stopping, causing total dance mayhem at events from Berlin to Boston to Bristol to Brussels, Riga to Rotterdam to Rennes, Halle to Helsinki, Cambridge to Kansas City, Scezczin to San Francisco, Tallinn to Toronto, Linz to London, Paris to Prague. Ripley's wreckstep raggaphonics slice through genres of street bass, jungle, dancehall, breakcore, dubstep, baltimore club, UK garage, hiphop, d'n'b, glitched-out breaks, juke, bhangra and dub, sprouting new life on the dancefloor.
Along with her usual dancefloor alchemy, Ripley wields music in the activist arena - organizing and performing at benefits for groups like the Coney Island Avenue Project (for Pakistani Muslims in NYC suffering the aftermath of the Patriot Act), the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the Revolutionary Afghan Women's Association, Street Medics (volunteer medical support for activists), and the 826 foundation. She's played alongside art-music luminaries like Kaffe Matthews, noted thereminist Pamelia Kurstin, as well as beat maniacs like Asian Dub Foundation, The Bug, Drop The Lime, Vex'd, Dub Gabriel, Dizzee Rascal, Plastician, Dr. Israel and Flying Lotus.
