16BIT**NYC DEBUT**
(Boka | Southside Dubstars | UK)
With their massive debut EP 'In The Death Car' featuring the now infamous "Chainsaw Calligraphy," 16Bit have rapidly shot into the limelight. Their massively varied productions delve into every corner of the dubstep world, ranging from "half-step rhythms...shot through with 10,000 watts of current" to "glitched 2-step and sub driven riddims.” Their live shows are intense, to say the least, and they've seen support from Kissy Sell Out, Mala (Digital Mystikz), Rusko, Chef and many others with a constantly growing fanbase.
Hot on the heels of the Death Car EP, 16Bit have dropped their follow-up EP on the legendary Southside Dubstars imprint and a string of heavy releases including ‘In The Death Car,’ ‘Swine Flu,’ and remixes of Bogore’s ‘Foes’ and Skizm’s ‘The Blank.’ They played their debut set in Tokyo, Japan just two months after their debut 12" (PCP/President Of Europe) dropped, and have since played massive sets in Paris, London, and all around the UK and Europe. Welcome 16Bit to NYC for their debut performance!

Diggadee MC Has launched from the world of Drum n' Bass and landed on planet Dubstep. Although Dnb will always be the main ingredient on Diggadee's menu, the Dubstep movement brings a more expansive range of musical awareness. Performing with many of the biggest names in Drum n' Bass from around the world, Diggadee has also managed to work with a few of the biggest names in Dustep as well i.e. Skream & Benga. As the two genre's seem to intertwine, the ability to vibe and adapt is necessary in an ever changing music scene. MC Diggadee, Diggadee MC...the spaceship has landed.

DJ Eshin first began DJing in 2000 as he began taking hip-hop tunes from his bedroom to house parties in the NYC area. Although he first delved into electronic music in 1996, Eshin did not start experimenting with DnB in his DJ sets until 2002 and hasn't looked back since then. Eshin made a big splash in 2004 by launching the eclectic Wednesday night weekly No Jacket Required in NYC with DJ/promoting partner Doctor Faustus. While the weekly finished its run a year after its launch, No Jacket Required continued as a NYC monthly event, bringing in prominent DnB talent from around the world, as well as NYC's finest. Today, Eshin is a fixture in the NYC drum & bass circuit and is currently collaborating with Direct Drive, which has been a staple in the NYC dance scene for the past 9 years, and had worked with DB's monthly soulful DnB event The Secret Night of Science previously. He also co-hosts NYC's premiere DnB radio show, Outside the Cube, which can be heard on prominent UK station Bassjunkees Radio. Spanning from melodic and dubby sounds to tech-step and jump-up, Eshin showcases the ability to explore multiple styles in his sets. Eshin has played alongside international talent including Goldie, Total Science, Marcus Intalex, Pendulum, Sub Focus, Klute, London Elektricity, Juju, Logistics, and Digital, among others. He plays regularly on the NYC DnB circuit at weeklies such as Konkrete Jungle, Camouflage and Direct Drive, and continues to spread his diverse sound in the American DnB circuit and worldwide.
