Fusing influences ranging from dubstep, dnb, rock, trip hop, psychadelic, and punk, the duo began creating a new kind of dance music, focused on no-holds-barred maximized bass and and pounding beats. While RUN DMT runs the gammet of styles, their sound is always sure to make the... listener move in both body and mind. Recieving lots of attention from some of the biggest names in the industry as well as listeners, RUN DMT has rapidly filled up their release schedule on labels such as Teenage Riot, Heavy Artillery, Play Me Too, P5, Water Tower Records, and others. They have appeared on Grooveriders BBC Radio 1 program as well as supported by the likes of MSTRKRFT, 12th Planet, Craze, Dillon Francis, Kill the Noise, Reid Speed, Flinch, and many many more. Their recent releases on PLAY ME Too gained RUN DMT much notoriety, as they reached top of the charts on Beatport’s top 100. The momentum is at full pace for 2011.

ASHTROBOT
----------------------------------------------------------
ASHTROBOT is a producer and RIZO resident DJ, born and raised in Redondo Beach CA. Ash Riser found his true calling of writing and performing at a young age. With the local success of his last group PISTOL PISTOL they released two records between 07, and 09. The entity known as ASHTROBOT (sounded out just ash-tro-bot) has a fine-tuned skill for maximizing delayed gratification within the scope of his productions. He isn't scared to go all-out-grimey but his own kingdom is Purple and there he lounges on a throne of bass, rhythm and melodies. This 21-year-old next level space creature didn't come to his present status instantaneously - it's been a road of musical diversity. Ash founded D.R.E.A.M. (Dubstep Rules Everything Around Me) Brigade in December 2009, which evolved into an underground independent label. Their EP “21st Century Electric Church Music” dropped on iTunes in July which such contenders as Polymer Drone, Chris Loren, The SUBshockers, Homage, and ASHTROBOT himself.

COMA
----------------------------------------------------------
Coma, Los Angeles Producer and RIZO resident DJ, is a rare specimen who has rhythm tattooed to the invisible surface of his conscience. His current endeavors into the realm of Dubstep have yielded a dynamic array of sounds. Melodic hooks, sweeping breakdowns and wobbling bass lines have become ubiquitous characteristics of his style. However, Coma carefully balances his driving, dance floor busting grooves with subtle audio edits and precision-crafted effects that provide an unsettling moodiness to his tracks.

Coma’s remixes of artists such as T-Pain, The Yeah Yeah Yeah's and The Baby Namboo’s have put him on the map as a crafty up and coming producer. His music has also seen support from dance music luminaries such as Udachi, Trillbass, Mochipet, Noah D, Puppy Kicker and Bassism Records. Coma has released tunes on Savory Audio, Open Circuit Recordings and recently recorded a DJ mix for R.FM. Look out for Coma's remix of Wes Green's 'Fly Away' on TRiLLBASS Records, 'The Call' and 'My Addiction' along with remixes on Beyond Zilla Records and 'Summer's Fall' b/w 'Black Wood' on Dub Selection.
