Who:
*Mr. Robb*
Most noted for his hard, bangin' minimal techno sets, he spins the kind of beats that turn crowds into a fist-pumping, "YEEAAAHHH!" screaming, floor-stomping mass. Sitting or standing around is simply not an option when this man is behind the console. According to Mike Bryant, DJ and head of Intrinsic Design Records: "Mr. Robb is one of the most versatile DJs I've ever heard. He's able to go from deep tribal house to tech-house, from banging techno to classics without missing a beat, which involves an immense talent and knowledge of dance music. Truly a DJ who has his finger on the pulse of underground dance culture."
*Paradigm*
It was in the early 1990's when NJ native Paradigm became exposed to electronic music through the then-blossoming New York City rave scene. He soon after found music that spoke to him in the sounds of house. Having preformed at countless parties including last year's World Electronic Music Festival in Ontario, Canada, this guy is gonna shake your ass with some serious house music!
