Haitian
Adrian Sackhiem - Burlington, VT
|
Haitian made his debut in Burlington almost four years ago and has since then risen quickly through the ranks to become a cornerstone in the Burlington, VT party scene. Alongside the 2K Deep Crew, he has helped mastermind some of BTV's most successful and legendary club events and outlaws in recent history. Being asked to support countless international and national touring bands and DJs from across the electronic music spectrum has helped him nurture a deep respect for many different types of music. This versatility is unmistakably reflected during his eclectic sets, as he seamlessly jumps from one style to the next, guiding the crowd through a multitude of genres.

Sharkat
Shahriyar Sherkat - Burlington, VT
|
From top 40, to Hardcore, then Rap, Dancehall, Roots, Miami Bass, Jambands, and Jazz, Sharkat has been influenced by all types of music. After being introduced to Jungle, he started going to local raves and it wasn't soon after that Sharkat bought his first set of decks in early 97. His first few gigs came about in 1999 while living in Portland, Oregon. In 2001 Sharkat moved up to Vermont and has been here since. Drum n' Bass was his only vice until 2003, when he started collecting Downtempo and Trip-Hop. He also fell in love with scratching. Purchasing a laptop and Serato opened a whole new world and made Sharkat into somewhat of a style jumper. Acquiring tracks no longer meant traveling to a city and returning with expensive vinyl. Dubstep, Electro, and House are his newest musical crutches. For him, it's all vibration in air, no matter what the style.

Logo
Logan Zingus - Burlington, VT
|
Logo grew up listening to all forms of music, but once he had his first club experience, he was taken. After using friend's equipment for too long, Logo finally bought his own decks and learned to mix. Since then his music collection, as well as his technical ability and signature sound, have been constantly growing and evolving. Logo's style ranges from deep Dubstep and House, rave'd out bass and UK Funky, to rolling Drum n' Bass, Techno and everything in between. For Logo, it's all about blending and setting the vibe - controlling the floor. He aims to match the music with the night and then heat the dance with frequencies and space.

Sleezy D
Dave Leikin - Burlington, VT
|
Also known as DaveLeikin, his influences include many styles of instrumental music (punk, ska, hip hop, reggae, hardcore, folk, world) as well as most electronic music (jungle, techno, dubstep, house, etc.) It was the performance of D.A.V.E. the Drummer at WEMF '06 in Ontario, CA that inspired D to buy decks and start DJing. Starting off spinning hard/acid techno, he progressed into drum n bass, and then to dubstep, for which he is best known. Sets are always a mystery.

Hambone
Mike Hambrecht - Brooklyn, New York
|
Swept of the dance floor and dropped behind the decks, Hambone’s selection is what the dancers want to hear. Trained by Vermont’s number one female drum and bass selector, Sekhmet, Hambone can drop tunes with the best of ‘em. He came up as part of the Vermont drum and bass crew, Basscamp, spinning twice a month at his first residency in ‘o6. As an active member of the crews 2kDeep, Get Bent!, and along with being a St8cyde Affiliate, Hambone’s set is constantly refreshing itself with a vicious assortment of upfront tunes. Also at times he goes back to back with Haitian and Sleezy D under the alias 2kDeep. You can catch him ripping drum kits and bad-ass bass lines with SMD crushin’ the mic. Get ready to step when this junglist hits the decks !!!! Im in the BK for now, crushin rocks and schoolin kids on the dancefloors!

SMD MC
Sean - Rochester, NY
|
SMD was raised by a pack of wolves, explaining his animalistic approach to the mic. Shortly after achieving adolescence he was abducted by aliens. They abducted him in an effort to create the perfect MC. After rewiring his brain function he not only gained the innate ability for flow structure and rhyme scheme, but also was given a memory that no drug could deteriorate for recalling written verses. He was also given the ability of on the spot freestyling in an effort to create a well rounded party rocker or crowd mover. He decided to join 2K Deep due to their grimey sounds which fit perfectly with his style. The aliens left him on earth so he could develop his skills before rocking raves in new galaxies, so come check him out before he’s no longer around to bless parties with otherworldly emceeing.
