Smokin Jo

Smokin Jo DJ/ Producer: Jo began musical career in 1990 when, noticing a lack of female Djs on the dance music scene she bought her own set of decks and started mixing herself. After continued practice, and receiving positive feedback from her mixtapes, she embarked on a musical journey that has taken her to the four corners of the globe. Her cutting edge style and impeccable taste in music has made sure that Jo is always classed amongst the top name DJs. She is still the only female DJ to have won DJ Magazine's prestigious DJ of the Year award.

Morgan Geist

This New Jersey native was initially inspired by England's take on the sound of Detroit, but eventually tracked techno back to its Motor City innovators. When he began listening to music, however, it was the sound of early-'80s synth heroes like Devo, Severed Heads and New Order alongside early hiphop, jazz and 60's Hindi film soundtracks. Geist released his first 12" (via Dan Curtin's innovative Metamorphic label) while studying at Oberlin College in 1994.
