DYLOOT - (F8/Blue Moon Management) San Fransisco, California

One half of DEEP VOICES, Dyloot is best known for his warm stage presence and alluring DJ performance, Dyloot elevates the dance floor with his progressive blend of deep and melodic trance. As a professional and talented DJ, Dyloot has punctuated his style with new waves of flowing and sweet-sounding tracks, providing audial pleasure to any listener.

Beginning in 1995, Dyloot began DJing in the San Francisco underground scene spinning Progressive Techno. As the scene quickly grew, so did Dyloot’s DJ career. In 1997 he stepped into the realm of event promotion and started SKILLS Productions with, then partner and DJ, Tom Slik. SKILLS quickly became the biggest electronic music event promoters in California, and then in the U.S.

Two years later, in 1999, Dyloot and Tom Slik opened their record store Skills DJ Workshop in Berkeley, which continues to provide one of the largest vinyl selections for electronic music.
1999 also marked the shift in Dyloot’s DJ style from Progressive Techno to Trance. This shift was the catalyst in skyrocketing Dyloot’s sustained career and popularity among fans and DJ’s alike.

RABBIT Vs. MAD HATTER - (EMA, AMS, UMF) FT. LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA

When he was only 15, he found the world of Trance and fell in love for the first time. This is where the Rabbit was conceived, but not yet born. How did he find Trance one might ask? KoRn, one of his favorite bands of the time, remixed one of their songs, Clown. The beats were catchy, and they never left his head. At the age of 17 he was forced to move to Georgia; this is where the rave began in his life. The name Rabbit was born at a rave in Georgia, where he was King. He had a style of dancing that no one could describe except as a crazy rabbit and with a Caffeine visor on, a pacifier in his mouth, and two glow sticks pushed up in his visor like ears, he had the look as well. Here is where the name Rabbit became synonymous with the words Trance or Rave. His passion for the raves and his passion for the beats pushed him even farther. A love for listening to the music led to wanting to make the music. At the age of 22 Rabbit found himself living in South Florida
where he met DJ Christopher Allen. DJ Christopher Allen taught Rabbit the basics of beat matching and allowed him to practice on his turntables. This was the start of the career name DJ RABBIT. Rabbit finally purchased his own set of turntables only a year later at the age of 23. He has been spinning with his partner in crime, the infamous DJ MadHatter, and they form Rabbit vs. Mad Hatter. He received his first gig at club X-It in Hollywood, Florida at the age of 24 and
distroyed the dance floor with the Mad hatter and there high energy records. Rabbits career in the world of DJs has begun its explosion, watch out.

CL McSpadden
- (Limbo, UK)



From his humble beginnings learning to spin on two JVC turntables, to producing hard driving progressive trance in his self owned studio, CL McSpadden has become one of the most sought after and respected Producers-Remixers-DJ's in Arizona. For the past 15 years, CL has
witnessed and led the Arizona progressive music movement. By the late 1980's, CL was opening up for two of the hottest nightclubs in Phoenix- Planet Earth and Utopia. His talent was soon recognized and he quickly landed a residency at one of the leading nightspots in Arizona- Club
411.

CL was a resident at the influential Insomnia in Scottsdale, Arizona. He has served up his luscious beats live at clubs such as Utopia in Las Vegas, Visions in Memphis, and Insomnia in Los Angeles.
CL has opened for top name artists B.T., Christopher Lawrence, Donald Glaude, and Taylor. Whether at a dance club or desert massive, he consistently lays down brilliant and clean sets that exceed the standard dance floor craze.

CL also carries a heavy studio schedule as a Producer and Remixer. Labels such as Atlantic, Epic, Jive, Maverick, Stress, Virgin, and Limbo (UK) seek his talents to reengineer their tracks on a regular basis. Collaborating with DJ Markus Schulz, "Lost Without You" by Jaynne Hanna, was remixed and re-released because of its appearance on Sasha & Digweed's "Northern Exposure-Expeditions" CD. Original song productions include his highly acclaimed "Galea-Omni",
"Centrode-Luminous", and new Hook Records recording "Barracuda". Publications such as MIXER Magazine and XLR8R have endorsed his genius for "Fireball" and "Teleport". When CL isn't in the studio crafting solid music, he can be found working on a nationally syndicated mixshow
at Hot Mix Radio Network.

The ever changing path of progressive music will leave some unrecognized. It is his talent, innovation, and sincere passion for music that will continue to propel CL McSpadden to the forefront of the global pack.

Bacteria - (602P/Organized Confusion)

The Bacteria, aka Martin Schwentick, was first injected into the US system in 1992 from Frankfurt, Germay. After playing the guitar in several bands and producing music on his own, in 2000 he bought his first set of turntables. Since he first began buying records, Bacteria has fallen in love with electronic music of all kinds, but mainly dirty breakbeats, drum and bass and house music. On the decks, Martin is known for his precise mixing, cuttin edge track selection and near maniacal stage presence. After rocking house parties, club nights and electronic music events for over 8 years, this DJ is now a regular on the Arizona DJ circuit and is finally getting back into his first love: production.
As of late, Bacteria is playing music that combines elements of Slammin' UK Breaks, Electro House and Speed Garage. Playing under the moniker, Martin S, he is also known to play both the lighter and darker sides of Drum and Bass. Highlights for Martin include a trip to the Winter Music Conference, to compete pool-side at a DMC sanctioned battle at the Miami Beach Resort; and performing at Tastemakers of Breaks in South Beach, at Jazzid, next door to Miami Ink.

Spear - (London West Records, lwr.biz
Spinning since March 2006 and playing out since September 2006, I started out by playing open decks and house parties; the scene is what I live for at the moment. My first official booking was on April 7th at SHAZAAM. This will was a special birthday set for me so it was some crazy stuff. Genre wise, I mainly spin Hardstyle. Hardstyle is right in between Hardcore and Hard Trance, with screaming synths, multiple breaks and "kick-your-ass" drums. Hardstyle is my love; it calms myself down and keeps me sane in the insanity of the world I live in today. However, Hardstyle isn't my only genre, I also spin hardtrance, UK Hardhouse & Club House. One day, I WILL be on stage at Decibel, and I will tag with DJ Chi-Gu Kom at a Q-Dance event. This is my goal as a DJ and no one will stop me.

I am very sorry to report: No Jam Bands
That was an idea that did not work out this year.
Jam bands will have to wait until next year.
I used to host these event back in the 90's.
I am again at the helm to insure that this event meets the EARTHDANCE standards set by the original RETURN TO THE SOURCE hero Chris Decker.

This event is the phoenix EDM sociaty coming together for a good cause.
To return this great event to the people.

No more porn stars, impossibly long bathroon lines, gun toting thug security, and no more huge work lights blinding the party and killing all the lights and our eyes.

Instead:
There will be Emaho foundation members to share information with, a professional curtious security staff, REAL bathrooms with mirrors and running water, outdoor sinks to wash up, plenty of picnik table and shaded areas to kick it by, and best of all 15 hours of great music and freinds.

I think it's about time I tell you a little more about this stage.

Firstly, the fire stage will be located in an amphitheater for the purity of sound.


Secondly, MC Pro will be bringing in a full 16 cabinet line array, for spot on sound.

Thirdly, the dance floor area has a 65 foot x 65 foot webbed awning at 20 feet tall, aka shade.

Fourthly, "is that a word" the lighting will be a combination of
NU-LSD and Richard Anthony bring their flavors to the stage,

with additional speciality projection systems
and flame towers provided by Phoenix Light Lab.

Lastly, "last but certainly not least",
the AZHCjunkees will be proping the joint out with visions of the future.
