OLIVER CAINE (HIDDEN RECORDINGS - DC)

Born and raised in Washington, D.C., Oliver Caine found a passion for music at a very early age. Eventually picking up the bass guitar at age sixteen, and later on the drums, Oliver was soon playing in bands in the D.C. and Virginia area. It wasn't until 1999 that he fell in love with electronic music and never looked back. Within a few years he had purchased turntables and began to play out at various venue's in the D.C./VA area. After moving to South Beach in 2004 and gaining exposure to Miami's underground Dirty House and Tech scene, Oliver soon began spinning at numerous clubs and afterparties in Miami and D.C., perfecting his signature blend of dark, underground, House and Techno. Today, Oliver Caine resides in Virginia, is a regular in the D.C. and NYC club scenes, is working on production projects, and continues to perform across the United States and abroad. Notable events performed last year included gigs at Coco Maya in Playa Del Carmen Mexico during the BPM festival, Bookies in Detroit during DEMF, a podcast/interview for feedtheraver.com, a live broadcast and interview on electronicrhythms.com, and a slew of other gigs up and down the east coast. 2012 has proven to be a great year for Oliver, and 2013 is already looking very promising for this veteran set builder in all things dark and dirty...

- MR. MARTIN (Life / Mmnlife - Washington DC)

Hailing from just outside of Washington DC, Dave Martin or as he prefers to go by today, Mr. Martin, is no new name in the regional house/techno scene. Over the past six years, Dave has been hard at work establishing himself as a young local artist with a more eclectic and refined sound than you will hear at your typical nightclub. Over the years, Dave has adapted to become a versatile DJ of the deeper sound in electronic music. Fluctuating his tastes between the sounds of dark, hypnotizing atmospheres, layered with “heads down, no mucking around techno” to the more funky grooves of deep, tech house, Dave has achieved a very unique and relevant style in the fast paced, constantly evolving dance music scene. As a young man, Dave was always fascinated by many styles of music such as rock n’ roll, blues, heavy metal, some hip-hop and even classical music. Throughout his adolescence, Dave experimented with music by playing bass in numerous local bands. Then he experienced his first “Rave” at the age of 17. In a matter of hours, the sound of electronic music had astounded his senses and captured his full attention. He recalls a fond memory of that night where he said to himself, “I have been listening to the wrong music all along”. This attraction marked a new evolution of the artist within and set Dave on his course. Since his transformation into dance music, he has been chosen to spin next to the finest! Dave, Mr. Martin is one of DC's top talents that have worked his way though the masses to present the best taste in house and techno from his beginnings in Baltimore to his sets at U Street Music Hall and various staple electronic music venues around DC to his techno slaughterhouse appearances at Bar 13 and National Underground in NYC. With some of his own music on the way, the future of Mr. Martin and his impact on dance music seems very promising.

ONDA SKILLET (AeroTropic)

"This level of density would not make sense if there was no sound to this physicality, therefore we create sound to take us wherever we want. A unique selection of the effects of specific types of sounds and how they influence our body and mind through the vibrational complexity thus providing redifined energies in motion."

Listening to his “AeroTropic” sound will make you want to close your eyes and imagine you’re flying just above the beach with the wind blowing through your hair.. Images of vivid palm trees and blue waters come to mind when listening to his mixture of sounds with the occassional space travel over the horizon. Onda Skillet’s music is charged with profound emotion, penetrating the inner depths of the soul, and warming even the coldest of hearts. "What begins as a time machine journey through your memories, evolves into a constant racing and harmonious vortex of sound". The abstract yet melodic complexities within his music send us flying into a more cerebral dream like dimension. The ability to read a crowd and play into their vibe is a gift Skillet expresses fluidly without missing a beat or losing focus, covering and creating the atmosphere of the party and for crowd.

One of his first and largest career goals was to return to Costa Rica as a DJ and that moment arrived in June of 2008 when surprisingly booking two shows at one of the main clubs in San Jose and the other on a west coast beach resort. The performances were a total success: Onda had not only achieved his dream, he then gained a huge following in Costa Rica, further improving his concept of sound in the industry where he returned 4 more times to play at beach festivals, underground black parties and clubs.

Skillet’s electronic music vision continues on a steady rise spinning in major venues and underground parties in NYC such as Trilogy, Twice as Proper and Prive as well as many others. Consecutively performing for three years in a row in private festival Pink in Vermont, every year he has closed the festival on sunday mornings with extended sets. Internationally he has recently toured Costa Rica and Mexico for the fifth time, with bookings that include headlining act for the 2011 New Years Eve Party in Manuel Antonio for Circuit events in Costa Rica as well as bookings in Playa Del Carmen and Tulum, Mexico for Twice as Proper events. In summer of 2012, he was invited to play at the 16th annual three day WEMF festival held on top of the beautiful mountains of Madawaska, north of Toronto in Canada where he closed the underground stage on sunday morning with an amazing 7 hour set.

AeroTropic - The PATTERNS Development
The Patterns Development is an audio biography documenting onda Skillet's defragmentation of sound waves and notes creating form, energy and motion. This documentation will record onda Skillet's evolutionary refinement of his AeroTropic sound concept throughout the years. This audio biography will be presented in recorded sets labeled 'Patterns' that will be officially released with the first 5 Patterns becoming available for download. Right now only Patterns II, 3-D and IV are available for listening. When the first 5 Patterns are complete, this Development will then be readily avaible for download as the first volume edition of this documentation. This audio biography will then continue to flourish with the next volume Patterns becoming a cirulatory podcast recording the evolutionary progression of onda Skillet's concept of the AeroTropic sound.

"..in the spectrum of this universe between the frequencies and the waves, there are colors that exist we dont know exist that only few of us get to see and at that find out the real hidden treasures of beauty itself…good energy friendships throughout the planet, beautiful friends + beautiful music = good energy always” - onda Skillet

"Twice as Proper" and their founders:

Twice as Proper is a New York City Based Underground Techno Events organization. Craft & Shadi co-created the movement "Twice as Sweet" which then became "Twice as Proper Sessions". With an impressive over 200 events and over 100 guest dj bookings, it is now well established in the NYC underground techno scene. 2013 is the 6th year for the organization, and with quite an illustrious list of guest DJ bookings in venues across Manhattan & Brooklyn, there is always something exciting and different to expect from the events. In 2010, Twice as Proper hosted 8 events in Playa del Carmen (Mexico) during the winter, while keeping regular NYC events alive as always. 2011 was fantastic for the two artists bringing International tours in 5 countries (USA, Italy, Egypt, Mexico, Costa Rica), international radio shows, podcasts, music productions, TV coverage (Italy, Mexico, Costa Rica), soundcloud recordings listened to in over 90 countries, new fans and friends. Craft & Shadi have been spinning since 1994 on those legendary Technics 1200's. Then followed the years of CDJ technology and mixers with effects, always keeping it dark, deep, dirty real serious. They now often perform live mixes with ultimate controllers and live effects. They go on with explosive sets, chopping' up loops and samples, all while in the mix. The result is always "Massive". Craft & Shadi promise to rip it Proper.
No crap.

- CRAFT (Twice as Proper / Party People / Feed The Raver)
19 years Djing, 14 years producing. 6 years planning events.

Born in NYC, Craft bought his technics 1200's & Vestax mixer at age 14 with his own life savings in 1994. He taught himself the skill of beat matching and studied the art of blending tracks smoothly to perfection with persistence. He began producing music in 1999 under the name "Craft". He performs regularly in the NYC underground techno scene for his established "Twice as Proper" techno events and other local showcase events. He evolved from the Vinyl-only days to CDj’s of all types, and now often performs live with his controllers. In 2010, Craft traveled to Europe for his Italy Dj tour to Milan, Rome, and Terracina, then experienced an incredible Costa Rica DJ Tour covered by much media attention (national radio and TV). Craft ended up the year by hosting 8 Twice as Proper events in 5 stunning venues in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. In 2011, Craft performed on the main stage at "The Works" during DEMF/Movement (Detroit Electronic Music Festival), as well as in Washington DC at Funxion and Sweet Spot clubs, and also at Boston’s famous Rise afterhours club as headliner in the main room for 5-hours. He was finally approached by countless labels for remixes and original EP’s and is now signed on over 20 top labels based in 9 countries. Craft currently has 6 EP's released plus dozens of remixes and collaborations. In 2012, Craft showcased for Cultured Citizens event at The Old Miami in Detroit, and performed at an incredible 5 after parties during Detroit's Movement Festival 2012, including performances at The Works, Belle Isle, Bookie's, TV Bar, and Motor-City Wine. Later in the year, Craft headlined again at The Works for a "Devolve Detroit" event.

Craft co-created the NYC techno movement "Twice as Sweet" with his partner Shadi in 2007. It was later renamed "Twice as Proper" and has reached an impressive "over 200 events" and counting in the past 6 years with an illustrious list of over 100 guest DJ bookings. "Feed The Raver Podcast show" was founded and hosted by Craft himself along with Jenny Arredondo. It debuted worldwide on March 3rd 2012 with interviews and guest techno DJ sets from a different city around the world every 2 weeks. Feed The Raver officially partnered with Detroit's Movement festival media coverage in 2012 interviewing international techno DJ's as well as promoting the festival itself. Craft also created and designed the "Party People" T-Shirt which has a history of its own...

Craft first began producing in 1999 with programs such as ReBirth (which emulates two Roland TB-303 synthesizers, a Roland TR-808, and a Roland TR-909 drum machine all at once) and Cakewalk for final arrangements. He then used strictly Reason for five years, from its first version launched in 2000 through version 3 when he finally migrated to Apple’s Logic 7 in 2005. Today he continues to use mainly Logic, which has now reached version 9 (aka Logic Pro) as well as Maschine, Ableton, Reason and other plugins. Craft taught himself everything and is a true master at using the complicated features of this professional music production software. The results are evident with the continuous smashing releases which have now earned him an international reputation, 14 years in the making..
