when it comes to absolute madness on the 1200's without a doubt two names stand out...

Mark EG London_Blackout Audio, Bonzai, Cluster, M8/Wax
At every Furthur festival one artist stands above the rest and in 2000 it was hands down this techno lunatic. The response he gets out of the crowd is like nothing you've ever experienced. We usually don't bring djs back so soon, but you asked for it. No...you demanded it!

dj Swamp Los Angeles_Decadent
Who doesn't know this guy? 96 US DMC Champion, dj for Beck, recorded with Morcheeba & Crystal Method, remixed the Beastie Boys, appearances on Letterman & Leno, records his own battle records, and seen in just about every music magazine. What's he all about? Sick-ass turntablism, that's what!

bangin' the beats - gotta have house, music...

Halo San Diego_Siesta, Moody, Catalyst, Bloom
A Windy City native who's setting the world on fire! Together with Hipp-E he's H-Foundation, together with Angel Alanis he's Trunkids, together with Terry Mullan he's Speaker Phreaker, and together with a pair of turntables he's one fresh and exciting dj who still gives it up for his old stompin' grounds.

Kenneth Graham Los Angeles_Plastic City, Distant Music, Immigrant
As a producer Kenneth's tracks are infinitely nuanced, combining equal elements of mind and machine, for a clinical and funky tech house sound that is instantly recognizable to all. He expresses his vision of the world through djing, a realm that is as important to him as producing.

the drum and the bass, a rumblin' the place...

L Double north of London_Flex, Rinse Out, Rollers
L Double is undoubtedly one of the forefathers of the underground drum and bass movement. His Flex Records is about complex breakbeat soundscapes, resonating deep precision with funk so dark it couldn't be from anyone else. On NYE expect that and more from this selecta.

Sifu San Francisco_Thermal Recordings
We just can't seem to get enough of those West Coast drum and bass bad bwoys. This time out we went straight to the Don of the label runnin' things Stateside. What will Sifu have with him? An all dubplate dj set best described as intoxicating!

something for your mind and for your soul...

Dave Trance New York_Caffeine, Sm;)e
A Milwaukee favorite returns. This man rocks high energy music for crowds that have included the legendary Caffeine nightclub in NYC, Toronto's famous Destiny events, as well as other high profile events around the globe. His name says it all, prepare for trance.

Grover Seattle_Eve, Infrared, Global Energy Music
His trip is an exhilarating rhythmic exchange of relentless beats and melodic soundscapes. A Midwest favorite for years. Grover's latest CD "An EVEning of Trance" is an epic mix of pure trance pleasure. Tuesday nights listen to him live on groovetech.com.

slammin' sounds purpose made for large speaker systems...

Andrei Morant aka Jack Mackrel Houston_Planet Rhythm, Template, Blue Line
With bangin' tracks on some of the most respected labels in the business it's no surprise Andrei's releases find their way into the record bags of techno djs around the world. When he's djing you can expect his same high standards will apply.

Rotator Paris_Peace Off, Ambush
"Daddy, what's it going to be like in the future?" This is it junior! A soundtrack of digital bass and breaks. Avantgarde hardcore industrial punk noise from the Anarckick Kaos Computer Team. Babylon will fall. C'mon punXXX, jump around!
