12.13.08
Wait... I lied... There are 4 UK Headliners not 3 hope that lie was ok....
CALLY AND JUICE (UK)
It is impossible to mention Hard Dance in the UK without bringing Cally & Juice into the conversation. Their clever and unorthodox style behind the decks has won them many admirers around the globe and their constant re-writing of the rules keeps people flocking to the front of the decks to see what they'll be doing next. Whether it?s frantic scratching over drum & bass or hip hop beats, scratching with feet, blindfolded scratching or even hand-spins on the decks, you can guarantee these boys will keep you entertained.
Dj Frisky (UK/djfrisky.com
Standing out from the crowd is easy when you’re Frisky – young, dynamic, gorgeous and playing a style that is dominated by men – these things all make you sit up and take notice.
She has been playing out since she was just 17, when she got her first residency at Breathe in Swansea. She has taken the UK and beyond by storm with her European Hard Trance and Hardstyle sounds, using her own tunes alongside bootlegs to wow the crowds.
The Doctor (UK)
Back to rock your world again!!! All the way from the UK The Doctor enjoys rockign the Arizona crowd with the Hardcore Beats!!
DJ WILLIAM FUCKING REED [French Kiss, Adult Swim, Shake!]
Born in American and raised in Germany, William Reed first got his feet wet in the Arizona entertainment circle by promoting Raves with the now legendary party crew, Desert Trance Society, in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s.
From there, Reed moved on to manage the infamous Nile Theatre by day; a local launch pad for bands like Radiohead, Oasis and Marilyn Manson, among others. By night he could be found overseeing the start-up entertainment and lifestyle magazine, Switch, as content director and Editor In Chief.
In 2005, Reed went solo to launch the multi-genre spanning weekly dance party, Shake!, which has since garnered multiple ‘best of’ awards and gained global attention via spotlights in the national publications SPIN and URB Magazine.
Once called ‘the hardest working promoter in Phoenix’, it came as no surprise when Reed launched the subsequent weekly dance parties Pretty Vacant, Style Council and the ‘best weekly dance party’ nominated French Kiss.
Never content with complacency, Reed would eventually take over the reigns as producer and host of the weekly specialty radio program, The Last Broadcast with William Reed on 101.5 FM—Arizona’s only all-indie radio show.
When he's not rocking the party as DJ William Fucking Reed –with his signature blend of rock, electro and pop--alongside names like The Ramones, Bloc Party, Sex Pistols, Arcade Fire, The Smiths, Guns N Roses, Le Tigre and New York Dolls, Reed can be found writing his monthly music column, Now Hear This, as Music Editor for Java Magazine and continuing to push the envelope of progressive entertainment via his weekly club nights, concert promotions and one-off events.

Jared Alan (fauxShow)
myspace.com
If you haven't heard of him yet, you will. Musician/Producer/Dj/Event Curator and founding owner of "fauxShow Productions INC", and the founder of Phoenix's wettest and most lit-up dance party, "fauxShow: fridayNights" Jared Alan, his no-rules yet focused sound policy embraces everything from hyphy flows, sleaze-rock, bangin' electro and techno, and avant-garde electronic music not usually touched with a ten foot pole by other clubs. Always digging and pushing the envelope, getting crowds (and the most seasoned dj's) hooked on new sounds, spearheading the leftfield, easily blending the most contrasting sounds with complimentary ease. Jared Alan of fauxShow makes great strides to achieve a constant flow of creativity and originality in everything that he touches. His unflinching determination to bring a new element to the Phoenix music scene has quickly earned him high ranks in the art and music community in an inconceivably short amount of time. One of the best kept secrets in town. Shhh!
Michael James (Relentless Beats)
Ranked as one of Arizona's Top Three DJs and highly regarded for his flawless mixing and programming ability, DJ Michael James has quickly become one of Arizona's most sought after exports. Currently holding multiple residencies at House 7340 and Switch Wednesdays, when you can't find Michael behind the decks, you'll find him promoting some of Arizona's largest dance music events. A transplant from the sunshine state gulf coast and living in Tucson, Michael began his career playing nightly to crowds of over 2,000 people at Arizona's largest nightclub, Gotham & The New West. For the last ten years, Michael has continued to entertain dance fans at every major club in Arizona while managing a consistent tour schedule that includes regular bookings in Chicago, Seattle, San Diego, Las Vegas and Miami. Michael's sound has been described as percussive electro-style with powerful vocal breakdowns or Robbie Rivera meets Dirty South. It is this unique style which has earned him invitations to participate in several of the largest dance music festivals in the world including a spot at the 2008 Ultra Music Festival.
UltraBlack (www.virb.com/ultrablack)
UltraBlack aka Adroit & TheOneSpy have paired up to bring you an original sound to dubstep & drum and bass. Dropping exclusive self-produced sets at every town they hit, they're some of the most unique dubstep producers on the west coast. Signed to DubKraft (Romainia), Rottun (Canada), Function Forward (US), MicroTerroriZum ( US), Shift (US), FoulPlay (Dubstep)(US), 10Bag (UK), Sub-Carnage (Germany) Binge (US), & DarkFlex Recordings (UK). These Producers are moving up quickly in popularity and fame. "Dubstep for the insane!" Look out for this tag team of drum and bass producers turned dub.
Funk Derby - Live (Electro House)
Funk Derby has emerged from Phoenix, AZ, with a super fresh electro sound. The duo’s foray into the world of synth grit begins with the appropriately titled “Dance Floor Destruction.” With prolific writing featuring the vocals of Tempe’s own Corey Croft, each tune is a solid hand-clapper, feet-stomper and funk-face maker.
Although new to electro, the duo of Adroit and TheOneSpy of Microterrorizum fame is no stranger to dance floor destruction. The two have been unstoppable since they began writing tracks years ago, first as the masters of dark, deathly drum-n-bass and next as the creators of an original, hard-hitting dubstep sound under the moniker UltraBlack. As UltraBlack, the two were quickly signed to more than 10 labels, with most releases ranked as top sellers on digital sites. With their knowledge and skill in production in every genre they touch, Funk Derby is sure to have the same explosive effect on the electro charts.
