Nick Dawg
and Triton
-
If you were to sum up the kind of music that Nickdawg digs and likes to play out in a nutshell, you would need a nut the size of a basketball to include all of it! Best known for his drum and bass sets, Nick also stockpiles a collection of house, garage, hip hop, and Baltimore club records spanning the last 20 years as well to ensure that his sets include a little something for everyone. Nick also strives to combine the latest technology of using Ableton to create mashups and remixes to play on cdjs while continuing to bust out the good ol vinyl records. Check out a few of his mixes on his Myspace page for a taste.

Triton is a dub house party for astronauts and deep sea drillers. He records for Zero G Sounds, and this is his first live PA.

July 28th
DJ C
-
We know you know C- the co-founder of this Beat Research night and originator the Boston Bounce sound. He is also the man who started Mashit records and the Mashit Blog which he now runs from his home in Chicago.

A non-stop beat maker he has released tracks on other labels too including; Ninja Tune, Soul Jazz, Man Recordings and XL (remixing M.I.A.)

He will be making a rare trip in from the Midwest to show his hometown some love as part of an East Coast tour. As usual he'll be bringing his famous brand of serious dancefloor mixology.

August 4th
DJ Ghostdad and
Beat Perv
-
Having hosted his own night of crazy mashups, dance tracks, and live electronic and noise music, Beat Pervert is no stranger to the Beat Research mission. Beat Perv and his Drunk and Focused possie host the Tuesday Scissor Test every week at the Red Door in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. He'll be crossing the border to bring a taste of his parallel New Hampshire universe!

In addition to his slammin regular nights at the Milky Way and Zuzu, our good friend Ghostdad hosts the incredible Mofo Radio show which airs Wednesday nights on WZBC. This cat is well known for always playing the finest in far out beat driven sound.

... as a bonus treat, some very special surprise guests might be coming through too - so lookout.

DJ Yamin
-
DJ Yamin aka Ben Epstein has been Djing and Producing for over 12 years. His love for Hip-Hop spawned his quest to find the source of all the samples that were being used in the songs he loved. Digging through the dusty record bins he discovered such artists such as Bill Withers, P-Funk and The Meters. He put his knowledge to use and started a radio show called "The Grooveyard" on WMFO which lasted for over 7 years.

His first release as a producer was in 1994 with a breakbeat beat record called "5 Finger Breaks" produced alongside Moosaka.

He has Dj'd with several Hip-Hop groups such as P.O.E. and III Kings and has opened up for such acts as Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley, Crown City Rockers and The Violent Femmes.
