In the Broken Disco Electro Playhouse:

KNIFEHANDCHOP (Tigerbeat6 - Toronto) Billy Pollard became known as Knifehandchop after releasing his first album at age 18. He has been consistently producing fresh, new music ever since. His style blends elements of electro, hip-hop, house, techno, booty, and dancehall reggae to produce songs that either fit into one of these genres, or blend them together to create something unclassifiable and uniquely his own. Early in his musical career, Knifehandchop released a string of popular and illegal 7' records and CDs for British record label Irritant Records. These records resulted in loads of mainstream magazine attention, being covered by Mixmag, Muzik, URB, XLR8R, Vice Magazine and more. Since that point, he has becoming a longtime staple of kid606's Oakland-based Tigerbeat6 records, releasing his two most recent albums through them. The first album, entitled Rockstopper, is a hard-edged and jarring take on raves and hip-hop, whereas his latest full length 'How I Left You' - is much more melodic and emotional, while still veering towards dance sensibilities. After 'How I Left You' was released, Knifehandchop changed his focus from releasing full-length albums to making singles and 12' records featuring a new sound that is tailored to the dance floor. His first production in this regard was the much-hyped booty anthem 'Dirty NewYork' on Tigerbeat6. Modeselektor and Knifehandchop have also teamed upfor a split release on Shock out records called 'Weed Wid Da Macka' which features vocals by famed Jamaican dancehall star Ninjaman. This was followed by a huge electro remix by Knifehandchop of the current smash UK single 'Thou Shalt Always Kill' by Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pipon Lex Records. http://www.knifehandchop.com

It is the dancefloor that Nova has engaged andhis audience makes it clear that they are grateful for the favor. http://www.myspace.com/novatron

RECESS (Shameless / Broken Disco - Seattle) Raised on the industrial, new wave, and pop music of the time, in thelate 80's Recess found his second home at the now defunct Club Underground in Seattle's U-District.

He's played alongside heavy hitters such as Modeselektor, Green Velvet, Felix Da Housecat, Damian Lazarus, MSTRKRFT, John Tejada, DJ Assault, Ewan Pearson, Smash TV and could quite easily be caught playing electro/disco punk at one club, baile funk/bmore club/ghettotech at another, or techno/house depending upon the crowd and party.
