He has come up through the ranks to establish himself as one of the most sought out, and respected DJ's in his class as well throughout the New York State and surrounding areas. From his signature sounds ( which include: Funky / Tribal / Bass Driven Techno, Profound Tech-House Sounds and Jack and House sets) Mike's prestigious track selections and spot on mixing skills shine through like a beacon of light when it comes time for him to captivate the dance floor. Mike's first appearance on the Electronic Dance Music (EDM) scene was early 97' in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. There he was taught the art of mixing and beat matching. He immediately took to this new craft and honed his DJ skills. It wasn't long after returning to New York before Mike had begun to make an impact. Promoters started to take notice and soon after, he began to embark on a trip that would land him performances with some of the finest DJ's and Live Acts in North America, and International Talent from multiple corners of the globe.
As founder and director of Vinyl Beat Productions, Sean Place, has made a large impact on the NY area in a short time. Working diligently as a DJ and promoter, Sean has pumped crowds week to week since 2001 entertaining on lineups with local and international talent. Sean's taste in music has been heavily influenced by early industrial and techno. Some examples include Underworld, Ministry, KMFDM, Orbital, Front Line Assembly, The Chemical Brothers, Revolting Cocks, Daft Punk, Moby, and various WaxTrax artists. The past couple of years have yielded great opportunities for Sean, such as playing at events like WMC (Winter Music Conference) in South Beach, Miami and at WEMF (World Electronic Music Festival) in Canada. Sean is also an occasional guest on the Intermission Transmission Radio Show Mondays on MiamiBeatz.com

V0ins - Oswego, NY- (Get Bent Productions)
(Minimal Techno-Acid Tech)
www.facebook.com/pages/Disko-v0ins/360856280898?ref=tsV0ins has been infecting dance floors with explosive sounds since early 2005. Growing up in a small town, he has been going against the grain from the beginning; pushing the envelope and bending the boundaries of his sound into a unique style not heard anywhere else. His sets are not to be missed. Only to be described as dirty, crunchy, heavy Techno, his style can range from Minimal Techno all the way up to Acid Tech. He maintains a consistent, driving sound throughout his sets. As his musical career continues to advance, he has already blown up dance floors in Canada, Miami, Burlington, Rochester, Buffalo, Binghamton, Albany, and most commonly Syracuse. Working his way into music production, keep an eye out for original tracks by V0ins as he continues pushing the sounds of techno.

www.facebook.com/pages/DJ-Acheron/355062134024?ref=tswww.myspace.com/sicksoundproductionswww.myspace.com/tombstoneheadphonesOver the past 6 years, Acheron has become an underground favorite within the local scene. Playing events from Canada to Miami, Acheron brings his own mix of pounding bass and haunting melodies to the dance floor with a unique flare that sets himself apart from other locals. The Co-founder of SickSound Productions, he has been a part of every aspect of the scene. Playing music ranging from Dark Minimal Techno and Progressive House to Driving Electro, live performances become more a story than just a collection of tracks. Listen and enjoy the ride.

Lost Monster - Syracuse, NY
(Progressive House/Techno)
www.facebook.com/pages/Lost-Monster/101147810788?ref=tsLost Monster's philosophy: Size up the crowd and look at the clock before you choose your tracks. Is it time for balls-to-the-wall Psy-Trance? Mellow Progressive House? Or something else entirely? Whatever the consensus, Lost collects the energy of the crowd and sends it right back at them. It's a sight to behold. After five short years behind the decks Lost has played countless parties, including the final WEMF, and is now one of the most well-known DJs in Central New York. Other details are immaterial.

Bender – Syracuse, NY- (Get Bent Productions)
(Deep & Grimy Minimal Techno)
www.facebook.com/pages/b3nd3r/175023113521?ref=tswww.myspace.com/b3nd3rgetshypeMoving up the world of EDM, Bender has been impressing people on the dance floor and giving them a reason to come back. His blend of crushing Techno places the crowd in a hypnotic trance of pure Techno heaven. A DJ for the past few years, he has supported the scene the entire time, any way he can. A member of Get Bent productions, he's a name that will surely gain more attention over the next few years.

Featuring the following specimens
In {The Dark City}:
Dharma Lab - Buffalo/Rochester, NY
(PsyTrance, Ambient, DownTempo, House)
www.facebook.com/pages/Dharma-Lab/24491177139http://www.DharmaLab.com/Dharma Lab became something of a sensation in Western NY’s electronic music scene when the duo formed locally eight years ago. Elevating the practice of a traditional DJ to an art form, the duo adds invigorating live and improvised sound to the experience. The Oracle pounds out energetic tracks as the duo’s turntabilist and the Puppet Master astounds with maniacal skill on keyboard. Sometimes he acts the part of a pseudo-DJ himself, performing familiar piano snippets by artists as diverse as Faith No More and Beethoven. It’s not surprising that Dharma Lab stands as one of the area’s most successful electronic music exports, regularly headlining popular festivals and events throughout Southern Ontario.
