DJ Mayday

Former resident of Montreal's longest running Jungle/DNB night, Junglist Fridays (2000-2006 RIP), DJ Mayday is currently gaining recognition in the Electro and Club community. She has played around North America, continues to DJ and promote jams within Montreal and has shared the stage alongside artists such as TeeBee and Calyx, DJ Craze, Killa Kella, Party Shank, Dyer MC, Demolition Man and Reid Speed, among many others.
Mayday is one half of Ultra Valentine, with vocalist and producer Vadah Boy, producing everything from Electro to Hip Hop to General Dance music. Live shows from UV include Mayday on the decks, with Vadah performing vocals from their own tracks, as well as freestyle MCing over works of other artists.
She loves kittens and hates mean things.

Jeff Gil

Hailing from Western Mass originally, Jeff came up quick as DJ Gil-T. He held down one of the highest rated radio shows "Settin' the record straight"(1996-1998) on WCCH (103.5) Saturdays. The show gained popularity for it's ALL VINYL appeal, and eclectic mix of Electronic Dance Music and underground hip hop. Through the success of his radio show, he received some of his first gigs at the legendary dance club "Kaos" in Springfield, MA (98). Kaos would later change hands, and Jeff took over the owner/manager role of the venue more recently known as "The Asylum" (99-2004). The Asylum played an integral role in the North East rave scene boom; and Jeff found himself in the drivers seat. His company "True Productions" brought out massives to New England on a monthly basis, while jeff's deejaying was taking off just as strong. Since the Asylum era, Jeff has deejayed in over 20 states, 4 countries, and alongside names like Juan Atkins, Dj Craze, Green Velvet, The X-Ecutioners, A-trak, and more. Known mostly for his sets of classic drum and bass with some turntablist elements, he is now ready to showcase his new taste in electro house. You may have seen his face in Hustler video's "DJ GROUPIE", but don't miss your chance to meet this FTW hero in person. He once rescued a litter of kittens from an inferno, and later that same day; he delivered a baby for a woman stuck in traffic on I-95.

John Barera

John Barera has been producing his signature tracks and dropping heat on dance-floors far and wide for years now. His floor-ready original productions bring to mind a strong influence of syncopation and dub, alongside jacked-out-figity-tech-electro-house-crunkness. Barera posses the skills to feel out the crowd and mix among many styles reaching from clasics to minimal, hip hop to baile to bmore to bassline to booty to soul, even downtempo, with a special place in his heart for his beloved french & chicago house and german & detroit techno records. His track "Tap Back" was released on the 2007 compilation "Sim is for Lovers," and later that year he was approached by Spanish filmmakers to produce the soundtrack to the Catalan-language film "Non-non, Quina Son," to which he happily obliged. He is now working on a new soundtrack to a yet-untitled film as a collaboration with old friend Dj Pollen, as well as new dancefloor weaponry as well. An avid traveler, Barera has hustled his way to every continent in search of the dopest beats (except Antartica - one day...). He has performed at Ikastola, in Barcelona, Spain, and the well-regarded Knitting Factory, in New York City. He gave a seminal peak-time late nite performance in the summer of 2006 when he played one of the largest clubs in Europe, Now&Wow in Rotterdam, Holland. Born and raised in Boston, U.S. he has mad love for the town and has rocked many of its hottest spots alongside artists national and international.
