Dj's-

Santiago & Bushido (Potty Mouth Music, Robsoul / Chicago) -

"These two guys are bringing the heat with a refreshing twist on the
jacking sounds of the underground, Chicago new school at it's
finest...respect"- Kaskade

"Santiago & Bushido are one of the hottest production teams coming out
of Chicago right now.  From vocals to bangin' tracks - their tunes are
exquisite" - Colette

"For you to understand how much I like their sound, here's what Ihave
to say: I signed 7 tracks from them at the WMC 05, I'm very happy to
see their continuous and steady progress in their work. Santiago &
Bushido definitely have their signature sound,awesome for the dance
floor with quality and taste, fresh and cutting edge. Top notch!"-
Jazzy Eyewear (SoSound)

Amidst the countless dj's and producers working in the burgeoning
Chicago House scene, Santiago and Bushido stand apart from the rest
with their unique blend of tech-tinged house beats. Since teaming up
as a production duo in 2001, Chris Santiago and Tim Bush have helped
push forward the sound of house music with their innovative style of
production which encompasses many influences from the hard hitting to
the deep and soulful. At the core of Santiago & Bushido's sound lays
the forward thinking, genre crossing, funk-tech that has given them
critical moxie in Chicago and beyond.  Having been intimately involved
with music his entire life Bushido picked up his first pair of
turntables and sampler on his 16th birthday and immediately went to
work mixing, sampling, and cutting up any piece of vinyl he could get
his hands on. His carefully crafted dj sets caught the notice of some
of Chicago's nightlife elite and Bushido was soon playing all over.
Tim spent his days working at Chicago Recording Company, sharing the
same recording space with the likes of R. Kelly and Smashing Pumpkins
among others. By working alongside some of Chicago's most well
respected engineers at CRC Bushido honed his engineering and
production prowess until opportunity knocked. While Bushido was
mastering his craft, Santiago was working his way up the Chicago's
nightlife hierarchy. Within one year of playing live gigs, he secured
a Friday night residency at Zentra Nightclub. The renowned Jack
Fridays have continued to attract underground house crowds for more
than six years, with crowds still going off weekly. Santiago's
presence in the Chicago house community reaches even further with his
involvement in the House Arrest promotion group, which continues to
host some of the scene's most well attended parties.

As producers, Santiago & Bushido draw influences from their straight
house background and apply harder and heavier elements to the sound.
"We get really deep into the tracks we're producing, flip them and cut
them in so many different ways, all to get the heaviest groove
possible," Bushido says. Since collaborating, they have dropped
numerous EP's and remixes on some of the most well respected labels
around including Potty Mouth, Om, Robsoul, Control and Black Cherry.
The innovative production of Santiago and Bushido has been creating a
huge buzz as of late. The duo's "For What" ep on Potty Mouth Music was
released to critical praise and support from dj's across the globe
including Switch, Jesse Rose, and Johnny Fiasco.  Their single "Head
Trick" climbed the charts on Beatport.com, the world's top online site
for electronic music and held the number one spot for a few weeks. In
addition to belting out club tracks, Santiago and Bushido have been
involved with Chicago native Colette's 2007 artist album Push for OM
Records. They wrote and produced multiple songs on Push including the
album's single "If" which has been licensed for a future episode of
Real World for "MTV" and can also be purchased as a ringtone from
Verizon.  "One thing about us is we're not afraid to do a deep track
or a totally hardcore track…as long as it works on the dance floor and
is pushing the sound forward, it works for us." Given the tech-funk
inflection of their forthcoming release, the nastier the duo delves,
the better they beat.


Easily Influenced (HAWT / LA) -

Together, Mikey and Gelly both launched the self-coined "HAWT
Movement" in February of 2006 in Los Angeles, California. Best friends
united by their relentless passion for music, they set out to change
the way that people looked at house music, parties, and just having
fun in general. "At first we just wanted to start a record label in
order to showcase our own music, meanwhile having the opportunity to
sign our favorite artists that we admire", says Mikey. "Along with
that came the party, and that's what really put us on the map and
opened up doors to gradually build relationships that will forever
change our lives".

In May of 2006, HAWT Afterhours was born. On every 1st and 3rd Friday
since the inception, HAWT's underground parties have not only
showcased the DJ talent of various quality acts from all over the
world, such as Inland Knights, Justin Long, Johnny Fiasco and many
more, but they have also displayed the talent of so many of the great
DJ's in the local scene. "We always looked back to the beginnning,
before we ever had a gig and knew that this was an important step,
something that people needed and appreciated", says Gelly. "Overall,
the main focus has always been on bringing back that old school house
vibe at parties, bringing friends together with music, and just
breaking boundaries and having FUN", according to Mikey. HAWT also
stands for "Having A Wonderful Time", and they have done just that
with the help of Eddie Barajas, Mike Magana, and many more along the
way.

Keep an eye out for original music and remixes by EASILY INFLUENCED,
which has been getting played by many world class acts such as Derrick
Carter, Justin Long, Phil Weeks, DJ Mes, Natural Rhythm, Ricardo Rae,
etc. "We think our versatility will surprise people. We really do love
it all, and that will become evident in our music the longer and
longer we do this", said Gelly. He continues, "we want our style to
basically be versatility, and never want to hold anything back. If
we're feeling something, whatever sound or style that may be, we make
it."

Their first release "DAMN B!" came out in November 2007 on ROBSOUL
Ltd., Phil Weeks' respected label out of Paris, France. Also lookout
for the first HAWT MUSIC release soon which features their original
"ROCKIT", along with remixes by Derrick Carter, Joshua Heath, and
Thomas White of Natural Rhythm. They also did a remix for Inland
Knights' "SOUNDSYSTEM" which will drop on FUNKFIELD RECORDINGS in
February 2008. "We've also got some other things in the works that we
can't really talk about yet", says Velazquez. "We are both very
excited and are looking forward to this year, and making it great in
2008", Kusuma says smiling.
