January 2010 Panelists:

DJ Spesh – DJ Spesh (née Stephen Kay) has three claims to fame. ONE, he is half of the world renowned production team Jondi & Spesh. TWO, he created the progressive music scene in San Francisco. And THREE, he maintains a large fan base of insanely dedicated clubbers who connect with his less obvious yet totally enthralling style of DJing. In the global dance music community, Spesh is best known as half of Jondi & Spesh, the duo that Mixmag called "the dons of progressive house." But as producers they have released music in every EDM category, including house, tech-house, breaks, drum & bass, and ambient, on over a dozen labels including Bedrock, Global Underground, Renaissance, and their own imprint Looq Records. www.DJSpesh.com |

Kat O1O - Kat O1O (that’s oh-one-oh) is known not only as part of the live-band hip-hop group Crown City Rockers, but also pretty much the go-to keyboardist in the thriving Bay Area hip-hop scene. She’s appeared on records by Lyrics Born, Headnodic, Zion I, People Under The Stairs, J. Boogie, Raashan Ahmad, and Joyo Velarde, to name a few. The East Bay Express proclaimed her the “Most Mind-Blowingest Musician” of 2005, declaring that she “…passes through walls of genre and style like they were open windows." Quannum Projects recently released Kat O1O’s solo debut, Natural Phenomena, an instrumental record that features Kat’s keyboard, composition, and production skills. www.kato1o.com |

Jaswho - Jay Williams is jAswhO? (pron. Jase – hoo), a multifaceted musician, accomplished producer, innovative performer, degree-certified engineer and, above all, a humble human being. But despite his calm aura, Williams ripples with energy on stage. Anyone who’s seen his live house music sets, or heard his many superb singles knows that Williams brings it. URB Magazine dubbed him “A funkier Naked Music.” He’s also a veteran live musician who’s toured the US, Japan and England with various bands, including as a keyboardist, guitar and bass player. Says Jay, “I bring a sense of urgency and fearlessness. I don’t care whom I’m in front of – young or old. When I play, I do it one-hundred percent.” www.Jaswho.com |
