A Plus D

He's a rock singer-turned-DJ who fronts the world's only mashup band. She's a party girl-turned-DJ who helped create the biggest mashup club in the world. Together, they're "rebel DJs" Adrian & the Mysterious D. Known mostly as the couple who helped bring mashup culture to America, the duo have forged a reputation as crowd-pleasing selectors who not only shamelessly bridge the gap between genres, but between the alternative and the mainstream. This is best evidenced by the success of their club Bootie, the first mashup bootleg party in the United States.

UP

There are two known artists named UP. 1. UP (In Hangul - ìœ í”¼)(Reads as U.P.) South Korean Pop group that emerged during mid 1900's. They were famous for their hit song Puyo Puyo (ë¿Œìš”ë¿Œìš”) which is included in their 2nd album. Currently they are disbanded and doing individual music work. 2. UP's music is based on the best stuff from old funk and rock projects, cleaned up and supercharged with johno's 2007 tastes and sensibilities. The lyrics are all about personal experiences, if a bit tongue in cheek at times. Recently we've been getting more and more into vocal harmonisation.
