Over the past two years, Shaun & Bevan aka Glitchy & Scratchy have single handedly broken the “glitch hop” sound in their hometown of Vancouver, BC. Alongside their ever-growing posse of bass and glitch heads, the “Integrated Grime Unit” (a collective which counts among its ranks GlitchHopForum head honcho Dewey dB, as well as bass prodigies Ill-Esha, Jay Wikid, and JmeJ), they promote and shape the face of underground music in their city. No stranger to crowds of sweaty, happy people, Glitchy & Scratchy have a dancefloor sensibility often forgotten in a world of tweaked wobbles and schizfreaked edits.
Glitchy & Scratchy - Broken Logic EP is coming out soon on Muti Music

MASIA ONE is true to her name sake - the first female to be nominated for a Much Music Video Award (Rap), winner of the CCNC PIONEER accolade and constantly redefining the sound and cultural boundaries of Hip hop music. Her most recent album PULAU has reached no. 2 on CBC Radio 3’s Top 30, no. 1 on CJAM (Windsor) radio and remains in the top 10 on SE Asian Radio charts.
Born in Singapore, Masia One became an early fan of Hip Hop after stumbling upon a bootleg copy of Public Enemy’s It Takes A Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back at the age of 8. A move to Vancouver Canada marked a period where Masia developed as a graffiti artist and b-girl. It was not until her time at the University of Toronto pursuing an Architecture degree, that she took scribbled rhymes to the stage, and began her fast-pace journey into thelife of an emcee. Masia One’s butter smooth flow debuted in 2003 with her independent release Mississauga. Four videos, international bookings and countless media appearanceslater, the emcee is ready to release the story of her journey: PULAU. PULAU, the Malaysian word for “The Islands”, reflects influences including the culture of SE Asia, heated dance hall tempos of Jamaica and the feel good vibe of California. Masia One has toured PULAU across Canada, Malaysia, Indonesia opening for The Roots and Singapore where she headlined the HENNESSY World Stage.
Masia One is now positioned to take on Hollywood, completing her latest album with Los Angeles based record label Kops & Robbers. Grammy award winning producer Che Vicious has crafted an album that features Masia’s remarkable flow over highly infectious dancehall, electro and dance rhythms. As Dr. Dre’s right handman, Che has worked with everyone from Lauryn Hill, Jay Z and Eminem to name a few. Currently, album features include Pharrell, Busta Rhymes, Talib Kweli and RZA. This much anticipated release will catapult Masia One into the mainstream as this Singapore- Canadian girl becomes a household name for urban music internationally.

Jackie Onassid (92.9 (2NCR) River FM, www.2ncr.org.au, Australia): A bombastic, epic feel reminiscent of squatters’ thrash punk rock crossed over with - again -a bit of early trance…although not too much of a fan of dark dubstep and finding the ‘conspiracist’ lyrics a bit dated, I like the raw feel and will definitely give it airplay.”
Great Scott (Glitch FM, KTRU Houston): “Fat crunchy midtempo - highly reminiscent of the Glitch Mob - but really the style is an entire genre of itself that really needs to be explored more, so it’s great and fresh that Insaudible is exploring this. The title track “Corporate Progaganda” is pretty hard and solidly rocks it - a lot of the Muti influence shines through here. “Storm Therapy” is nifty - the breakdown there does it for me. Hands down, my favorite track, however, is “Dog Logic”, with it’s great groove and metal influences and hard leads that let’s loose a bit of Prodigy influence - something I’m OCD about and love to nom on. All in all - I’m very pleased with this release. MOAR PLZ.”

Adam John is a pioneer of deep evolving bass sounds, a skillful producer as well as an advocate of filth in the southwest music scene and a figure of movement in the local electronic arts community. He not only creates slashing beats and wild rhythms for destroying dance floors, but is also committed to supporting fellow artists of similar musical minds through his label Theoretic Records, one of the first drum and bass labels in Arizona.

Perhaps better known by his DnB alias Kid Kryptic, Adam first released his disturbing brand of stuttering stomps on the notorious darkstep/breakcore label Fear Records in 2002. Its success was soon followed by material for Killing Sheep, Hardline, Evol Intent Recordings and the “Get Up” bootleg through Camouflage UK. By founding his own label, Theoretic Records, Adam was then able to promote local talent as well as his own versatile style, keeping the electronic music artists of the area motivated, inspired, and producing dark and disturbing drum and bass.

Soon Adam dove into other bass-heavy genres such as dubstep and glitch hop, finding a world of fresh sounds on the more experimental end of the EDM spectrum. 2008 and 2009 saw his first releases with a variety of hard-hitting indie labels around the nation, including Tuff Love Dubs, Filthy Digital, Shift Recordings, Darkstep.org, Adversion and Zardonic Recordings.

With a new passion for the realm of the glitch and the stomp, Adam now dips his fingers in a myriad of bass-driven genres to create an eclectic, signature sound of bruising forcefulness, haunting chords and lush sonic backdrops. His expert finesse of harmony and discord has not gone unnoticed; Adam’s upcoming EP Moments is set to be released later this year on Muti Music out of San Francisco, an innovative label that is pushing forth a West Coast aesthetic of the crunk and crunchy. His music fits in well in this world of stuttering beats and explosions of bass, with sawtooth basslines and 8-bit sounds that are hashed together in a slight neurofunk sauce and delivered with an edge that is more hard than hippie.

Whether you are in Phoenix or Fiji, the growing, mutating waves of bass music love will soon be lapping at your toes, if they aren’t already. Join Adam John as he explores the depths and heights of the delicious bass-ridden beats, using his versatile talents and love of the craft to deliver a warm and warped experience wherever speakers can be found.
