Can you do me a favor and check out this flyer for me? We need all the local support we can get for three of the hottest producers in Sacramento right now! If you want to know who they are, read the flyer. SEE YOU ALL TONITE!!!!!

DJ and producer, 7evin (of 7:Es-El) lo-fi eclectic bastard music, mixes and hard hits got his start in Oakland, CA and now serves the Sacramento community. The cross genre artist has no reservations as to the music he spins and is known for his
signature mash-up night, Bastard Pop, where he mixes songs that you wouldn't normally think go together. He's most recently done shows with Benji and Joel of Good Charlotte, collaborated with indie bands like The Evening Episode and Team Sleep and for damn sure will make you dance!

JustLove of Lost Tribe Productions works with artists from the upper foothills to the Bay Area bringing heartbreak beats. This hip-hop producer whose music is influenced by drum and bass and other genres says that his "essence comes from the break." He produces and emcees Lost Tribe, going by the name of Moses McCarthy. He also makes beats for Agustus The Elefant, MOB Figaz, Andre Nickatina, Equipto, San Quinn, Mike Marshall, Shagnasty, Mr. F.A.B., Willie Henn and Son of Man of City Side Crew. JustLove will have a song featured on the '08 Afro Samuri video game produced by NAMCO Video Games.

Sacramento-based producer Nick Gatten of Thought Process Recordings has hard funk and dangerous drum and bass, a rougher side of indie-hip-hop. Has produced beats for Live Manikins and his own group which is is the executive producer for, L.A.S. His current projects are w/ Linguistics and L.S.D. [Linguistics and Self of Live Manikins]. Gatten recently produced a couple tracks for A.R.G. He has worked with Runt Rock [Sacramento based emcee of Live Manikins] and Universal Project [of the U.K. / drum and bass].
