Reid Speed
[Play Me Records] LA
DJ, producer, label boss, paradigm shifter. With over 2 decades of experience and a lifetime of persistence, Reid Speed is a premier purveyor of the art of DJing and has earned her place as a respected veteran of the North American Drum & Bass and underground dance music scenes. She came up in the New York City underground selling records at the USA’s first all-jungle/drum & bass shop Breakbeat Science, where she was one of the first American DJs to branch out into multi-genre-ism, incorporating 2-step and speed garage into her mixes, and later breakbeats, house, dubstep, trap, and other heavy bass music genres. She was the first female American Drum & Bass DJ to break through on a national and international level as both a DJ and producer, and has served as an inspiration to generations of female talent since.
Reid’s graced the decks at countless events around the world like Electric Daisy Carnival, Sun & Bass, Shambhala; has done guest mixes for BBC Radio 1, Triple J, Ram Live, Beatport, and more, released music on Prog:ram, Viper, Play Me, and more, and has rocked raves, clubs, and venues from Limelight to The End. Her music has been licensed by brands like Nike, Puma, and Lenovo and she’s curated mixes for fashion brands Skingraft and Unbeing. She’s done 5 years of a drum & bass podcast (Speed of Sound), a multi-genre radio show on Dash (Full Speed), and recently launched her newest mix series, No Speed Limit. She’s even DJ’d on TV (the Jamie Kennedy Experiment).
Her labels, Play Me Records and Play Me Too, were instrumental players in the explosion of the North American dubstep /heavy bass scene, having discovered or launched the careers of some of bass music’s top hitmakers. They’ve released over 400 artists in their decade of existence, and continue to usher in wave after wave of successful new talent with a focus on drum & bass, dubstep, and leftfield heavy bass music.
Reid Speed’s storied career has been based in constant, steady growth, and breaking barriers for women in the industry. And whether live, in the studio, or in her role as a label boss, she consistently proves that she’s a force in the industry and one of the best and most versatile DJ’s in the game.
Noir B2B J.Drago

JBW became an essential music platform via their Soundcloud through implementation of their weekly top ten mix series, which saw participation from artists around the world. The series became the go-to standard for the global juke and footwork music community. The collective has grown to international status with a total of 11 members across the US and New Zealand. They continue to produce footwork inclusive dance events and showcases worldwide and regularly release digital and limited vinyl projects by their artist roster.

Brandroid
[Moontribe] SD
Brandroid Is the latest project of Moontriibe Collective organizer and resident dj, Brandon Vazquez. His dramatic dance floor oriented take on broken beat and psychedelic music has been embraced both by underground heads and Beatport charts alike. When the time came to release his first E.P on his own imprint, it immediately captured the #1 position in Breaks releases, and #8 In the global charts on Beatport. With pulsating releases, remixes and singles hidden in his hard drives, his sound is always a vibrant journey just waiting for you to get lost in and flex your booty to!
Synchronometry
[Moontribe] LA
Synchronometry’s decade long existence has brought driving, mind-tingling, and relentlessly consistent psychedelic music to countless dancefloors across the US and internationally. As a formally trained musician and a consistent guest DJ at the legendary Moontribe Collective gatherings in Southern California, Synchronometry is one of a few pioneers of the 2010 era west coast desert techno and psytrance sound, permeating his influence through countless dancefloors and west coast psychedelic four-on-the-floor music styles found today. As an audio software developer at the world renown music technology company Output, Synchronometry has been deeply involved with the inception and perfection of numerous music applications that have attributed the very sound of modern music spanning all genres today. Previously an event curator in Los Angeles, Synchronometry now hosts a weekly live radio show on Twitch and has recent releases on the emerging Shadow Wulf Records, and the established Activated Recordings. If the trajectory of the past decade of Synchronometry’s illustrious career tells us anything, it’s that we can expect so much more in the years to come.
