THE AUDIOTORIUM: (HOSTED BY OPERATION BREAKBEAT)
ROC RAIDA (1995 World DMC Champion, The X-Ecutioners, NY)
Roc Raida started Dee jaying in 1992 at the age of 10. The combination of his determination and the insparation he drew from being around hip hop originators like Grand Master Flash led him down a path of absolute passion for the art of the turntables. Some of his early winnings included: "As One" 1991 1st Place, "Supermen Battle" 1991 2nd Place and DMC US Finals 1992 2nd Place. Roc Raida's quest culminated in the 1994 / 1995 DMC World Championship in London where he was crowned as 1995 DMC World Champion. After becoming the world champ, Raida found himself traveling to places like Turkey, Singapore, the UK, Japan, Switzerland, Australia, Germany, and even Lebanon to exhibit his skills. This past year while attending a DJ panel at Cleveland's Rock-N-Roll hall of fame, Roc Raida was christened a Grand Master by some of Hip Hop's founding fathers. He has been on Queen Latifah's TV show, Saturday Night Life, and Russell Simmons "One World". In addition to DJing, Raida has become a successful producer - coming up with buttery tracks for The E-Bros, The Jungle Brothers, Leftfield and Macy Gray (Still). Roc Raida is one of the founders of the X-Men DJ Crew and one of the four pillars of strength that makes up the X-ecutioners. With an album "X-pressions" (Asphodel Records) and another album 'Built From Scratch" released fall of 2000, Roc Raida and the X-ecutioners hope to raise the importance of their craft to a new level. 2:30-4:00AM
DJ WHO (Tribe Limited UK, CMJ, Midtown Records, 2AM MD)
Back at Asylum for the 1st time over a year, this Baltimore breaks blaster has been a highly influential part of our culture for a decade now with no signs of letting up. From the beginning his production work was earning his attention from such breaks notables as the Chemical Brothers and Bassbin Twins. From his early work on Defective he graduated to his own label SNS (Shaken Not Stirred) which turned out the funk for many years. His recent work includes a collaboration with Huda Hudia aptly named Whoda Whodia. Never stopping his constant evolution, Dj Who marks his first COK performance with class dropping what's guranteed to be a memorable performance in our breakbeat chamber. 1:00-2:30AM
TODD BUCKLER (Che,
www.toddbuckler.com, Columns of Knowledge Recordings, MA) VS CATEGORY 5 (formerly known as MDMA) (Operation Breakbeat, CT) w/ MC JOSIAH INTALLEKT
With the success of the "Pillow Talk" 12" put out on our own Columns of Knowledge Recordings (through the special DNB imprint 'inner strength') and his record on Terpsichore "CHE" is FINALLY coming out, the flame never goes out as his next EP is due this fall on Inner Strength as well. Now Todd finds himself hard at work on the CHE hip hop project with Josiah, going into the studio with downbeat labelmate Eskmo, and getting ready for the release of his second album of all original production thru True Rekkids in collaboration with COK! Expect nothing but power moves from the Mighty Mr. Buckler as he prepares to CRUSH the backroom of asylum once again, this time with his good friend Category 5. Category 5 has been bringing it legit for a decade strong now and from his early efforts to today's total audio assault you know you are in for skillz beyond recognition. Working it to help co-host this event and room his love of the underground sounds come through when it's time to get down to business and wreck shop. It's gonna be sick when these two combine their talents, experience, and dedication to culture. Y'all know the drill! As if this wasn't enough they will be joined by NE's #1 MC. Whether he's rocking the mainfloor of Asylum with Buckler and Hive, Rocking the back room with Storm and A-Sides, or hes simply doing hip hop shows with Esoteric or Inspectah Deck of Wu Tang Clan, Josiah is definetly in high demand. Hip Hop and Drum N Bass comes to this MC naturally, and his growing fan base agrees completely. When not in the studio with Buckler working on the album, hes playing shows all through out the east coast, being requested by both US and UK DJ's. Tonight he gets to brock out with his two favoret NE DNB DJ's! BLOODCLOT 12:00-1:00AM

BLACKOUT 2003
October 18th @ Asylum nightclub
In 2000 True presented Blackout, the first ever lights out event @ Asylum. This event has been asked for a sequel for yrs now and finally True w/ some help from Columns of Knowledge are bringing this event to "light"

The club will be "lights out" for this special event. None of the regular fixtures will be used, replaced instead by True Lasers most intense laser show ever, black lighting, and tons of glowsticks we'll be providing on this night! With so few venue options left in NE we are always striving to keep the script changing and we are very excited to share this pre-Halloween vibe of mischevious fun with all of you once again. The family expands... the vibe gets tighter... one love Columns of Knowledge & True
==== (MAIN ARENA) "LIGHTS OUT" ====
UBERZONE
(Los Angeles/ CA)
***LIVE PERFORMANCE***
Überzone is the brainchild of southern California native Q (named after the "gizmo"-loving James Bond character). His early singles, "Botz" and "Freaks", released on taste-maker indie dance label, City of Angels, were critically acclaimed club tracks that established Q as the leading American producer of "new school" breaks. These singles were charted consistently by DJs like Florida's DJ Icey and the UK's Adam Freeland, and his remixes of Sarah McLaghlan, Crystal Method and BT established him as one of the biggest names in the American rave scene. Spin Magazine named Überzone one of the six producers to create "the biggest beats ever." His 1st album includes features guest vocalists Afrika Bambaataa and Soulsonic Force as well as a track featuring production from early UK breakbeat legend, Rennie Pilgrem. The new record features the skills of LA turntablist Davey Dave on "Bounce" and "Beat Bionic"- which includes a collaboration with Bart Thomas rhyming on the vocoder, old school style. 2:00-3:00AM

Coming back after strong requests, Dylan is making his 1st Asylum appearance since "Revelation" (March of 2002) where he performed with Robyn as the infamous due "Faith n' Chaos." Dylan needs introduction when it comes to drum & bass, He has been at the top of the scene for some time now and this is well deserved! His style ranges from demented darkness to ghetto funk, always retaining those trademark hard-driving, solid beats. Tech Itch is a name that goes hand in hand with Drum n' bass as well. He and his ace Decoder were responsible for some legendary co production work that has helped launch labels such as Tech itch recordings and Moving Shadow! Tech Itch's solo production work has also flourished of late. His production reputation has him known for delivering tracks with power, venom & highly detailed production qualities.
