"We don't normally remind you to do such things, but tonight takes beating off to a new level: Someone will actually be named the winner!

Beat Off is a live sample-based battle, where DJs/producers/laptoppers compete to make the best beats on the spot, all designed to move your ass. And the more you shake that booty, the harder the beats come, and... actually, the innuendos are all downhill from here. Just show up and dance. " - Portland Mercury

ROCKBOX is a dance party. Pure and Simple. The triumvirate of DJ KEZ (KBOO, THE FIX), Matt Nelkin (KPSU), and Dundiggy (THE FIX) play a masterfully blended mix of fun, dance oriented Hiphop, R&B, and Old School Electro with a dash of Bmore, Dancehall, 80s, and House thrown in for good measure.

As die-hard record collectors all three Dj's play exclusively vinyl. Every set and every ROCKBOX dance party is a custom experience with these cats digging into their seemingly bottomless crates to pull out the beats that make you want to sweat out the work week. More than just another gig for these talented three, ROCKBOX dance party represents their long held vision of merging the classics alongside the progressive.

Hailing from Adelaide, Australia, Clue To Kalo mastermind Mark Mitchell applies a lo-fi aesthetic to pristine computer-based production in which the technology is the means rather than the end. A generous use of layered melodies, elemental textures, and multi-tracked vocals highlight a vast range of influences and solidify the fact that Clue To Kalo is first and foremost a songwriter. Inventive without being inaccessible, Clue To Kalo has established himself as a singular artist of extraordinary scope and depth.

In the studio, Sascha Ring, aka Apparat, makes dense, dark and majestic clouds of elegiac pop and heavy electronica built up to a coherent and emotionally charged atmosphere. Live, on the other hand, the dance floor seems to be repelled to rave from the Bermuda Triangle with its axes techno, IDM and elektro.

The intensity in Apparat's tracks seems to grow with his own pleasure in experimenting. The charming breaking-up of the mechanical walkover of his compositions first being subtle clicks and accidental "sound mistakes", this is now being done by veritable musicians and singers, by classical instruments orchestrated by Apparat as the Maestro of his computer.

Sascha Ring is also still working on recordings and live performances with his Berlin buddies Modeselektor as Moderat and just recently started his own band.

His release Walls was one of our favorite of 2007 and we're so very juiced to be hosting a rare west coast appearance by this master of blips, beeps and bangers.

Agent Ribbons sound is solidly held in all things past. The duo sound like they belong in a 1940s cabaret... Although they take on many varying genres, they manage to inflect them all with an almost vaudeville-era sensibility, musically and thematically. Considering that Agent Ribbons boasts a mere two musicians, drummer Lauren Hess and singer/guitarist Natalie Gordon who play without a backing band, they're also remarkably complete. Their sparse arrangements and lo-fi production are perfect for Natalie's sing-songy compositions, which she belts out with a huge and expressive voice.

They've opened/toured with Wanda Jackson, Old Time Relijun, Cake, Scout Niblett, Brazilian Girls, Elf Power, Oakley Hall, The Detroit Cobras, Jennifer Gentle, The Dodos and an Elvis impersonator in Nebraska.

His attention to detail and desire to push the envelope both in the studio and on the stage continues to be his beacon of determination in addition to being Canada's electronic music ambassador.
