DJ ESPADA
Espada (aka Damien Vasquez) has been a mainstay in the Twin Cities DJ community for over 10 years. He came up with some of the Twin Cities most notable hiphop artists including Atmosphere, Brother Ali, Eyedea & Abilities and was one of the original DJs of RSE Radio. He's been a part of some of Minneapolis' most successful and respected hip hop nights at The Loring Pasta Bar, Rhymesayers' "Essential Elements" and "Let's Get Electric" with Mike the 2600 King.
PETEY WHEATSTRAW
Petey Wheatstraw (aka Pete Bekke)'s interest in DJing began during the hight of the DJ battle scene. Petey took that interest and made it a reality in 2003 when he got his hands on his first set of turntables. Petey got his start in the Minneapolis underground hip hop scene playing hip hop shows and parties but as his love for the craft increased he grew more and more interested in playing music that got people dancing. Stepping out of hip hop clubs and into dance clubs he saw the joy and success his playing brought to crowds who were interested in dancing & partying.
BOOKA B
Booka B (aka Adam Bucher) is a native to the Twin Cities and has been DJing and producing since the mid 90’s. In 2005 he released his mostly instrumental album Basementality, and in 2007, with MC and beat box artist Carnage, released the album Sense Of Sound. As a producer, Booka B has worked with a host of artists including Slug, Eyedea & Abilities, P.O.S., Toki Wright, Desdamona, Heiruspecs, Michael Lewis, Anomaly, and Jeremy Ylvisaker.
