CRAZE

DJ Craze is best known as the only solo DJ to win the DMC World Championships three times in a row, but his story goes far deeper. Born in Nicaragua, his family fled to the U.S. when he was just three, escaping civil war and later surviving Hurricane Andrew. Despite a tough childhood and being a self-proclaimed nerd, Craze found his passion in DJing. By 20, he had already won his first DMC title, eventually becoming the only three-time champion in the competition's history. His skills earned him global recognition, including a spot as Kanye West’s tour DJ on the 2008 Glow In The Dark tour. Craze co-founded Slow Roast Records with Kill The Noise in 2010 and has consistently released music, including collaborations with Troyboi and Trick Daddy. Known for his genre-blending sets, viral DJ routines like "New Slaves," and comedic flair in videos like "I Got The Juice," Craze continues to push the boundaries of performance and production. Humble and dedicated, he's considered a true ambassador of real DJing around the world.

DILINJA

Dillinja’s trademark combination of dark’n’dirty stomach-churning basslines and tighter-than-tight beats has secured his reputation as one of the most influential producers/remixers in drum’n’bass history. A unique dark and grumbling sound has led to Dillinja being called upon to remix for the likes of David Bowie, Björk, Faith No More, Soul II Soul, Basement Jaxx, Amon Tobin, Artful Dodger, and Jeru the Damaja.
