FEATURING
---------------------
~HULK~
[Brotown/Play Me/Shift Rec/Dubstepnostra | Los Angeles, CA]
Hulk is a collaboration of the minds of two creative minds sharing a similar enthusiasm for heavy driven bass music, Claw & Richie August. After meeting at the 2009 Winter Music Conference in Miami, they began to send files back and forth to collaborate on projects in Dubstep, Hip Hop and Electro. Since the inception, Hulk has been catching the eyes and ears of artists such as Reid Speed, Reso, Mark Instinct, Ultrablack, TrillBass, High Rankin and DJ Lord of Public Enemy, just to name a few.
Their first official release dropped on Reid Speeds Play Me Records as a Beatport exclusive in January of 2010, containing the tracks, See You and Angeldust with official remixes by King from Las Vegas. Hulk has also recently launched their own record label, BroTown Records with the help of Symphonic Distribution. This new venture already has the scene begging for the slated releases to drop, with songs by Claw and Richie August along BroTown artists Vaski, Druley, Mark Instinct, Symbl and their own moniker Hulk. Get ready for the biggest bass in the game, as Hulk is here to SMASH!
Claw emerged in Houston, Texas in 1999, at the age of 15. He was well-received from the start, making contacts with the local rave DJs of the time. By the time he was 16, he was playing at some of Houstons bigger underground parties and weekly events. After graduating high school, he moved to Florida to pursue music as a profession and began playing at weekly events. After finishing his music engineering studies at Fullsail in Orlando, Claw made his way across New York working at numerous studios with various engineers and producers. He then moved to Las Vegas to pursue his record label with Trillbass, which he co-founded. Claw also just did an official Dubstep remix for Wu-Tang that debuted at # 7 on the ITunes Hip Hop chart, and is currently back living in NY to run his art gallery and record label ventures.
Richie August started out mixing Drum & Bass and Hip Hop in the south-side of Chicago in 1998. He began producing his own tracks in 2000, alongside Chicago Hip Hop artist, “Skope The Lyrical MC. In early 2008, Richie got his first taste of dubstep and It didnt take him long before he was refining his sound and signing his first EP of tracks to Betamorph Recordings. The Death Proof EP came out and solidified Richie and his unique blend of teeth rattling bass and Hip Hop edge in the Dubstep community. As soon as you hear a new Richie August tune, you know its his. Since then, hes been making dancefloor smashing hits, remixing, collaborating, and is up to over 15 releases on various labels, with no slowing down in sight.

~DJ SOLO~
[Fresh-Kid.com/ Chalice Dubs/ Soul Assassins | Chicago, IL]
DJ SOLO is a Chicago based dj/producer/emcee, multi-media artist, and mad scientist! Currently making big waves in the dubstep and bass music scene, SOLO continually raises the bar with turntablism and trick mixing techniques, high energy live performances, original bootlegs and remixes, and has recently returned as an emcee, rapping over dubstep and drum n bass beats.
As a rapper since the age of 7, and a musician/producer since the age of 13, SOLO has gone from of making bedroom boombox recordings, to producing original music for acts such as GZA, B-Real, Maroon 5, Matt & Kim, and Planet Asia, touring the world as an opening dj for DJ Muggs of Cypress Hill, Everlast from House of Pain, and GZA & Killah Priest from Wu-Tang Clan, and releasing an ongoing series of themed and eclectic mixtapes.
Relocating to Los Angeles from Chicago in 2003, DJ SOLO became part of the LA based artist crew, Soul Assassins (Cypress Hill, House of Pain, Mr. Cartoon, Estevan Oriol). Along with touring, DJing, and producing music for their roster of artists, he was also the head graphic designer, helping the company launch a new look in print and on the web, as well as creating original graphics for their t-shirt line, hats, cd covers, and collaborative pieces with brands such as Diamond Supply, Circa, and La Coka Nostra. While there, he hosted a weekly two-hour live internet TV show called “40s & Blunts” that broadcast every week from DJ Muggs’ studio, featuring live mixes of brand new music, with guest rappers and DJs ranging from local talent to LA legends.
During his time in LA, SOLO was turned on to the emerging genre of dubstep coming mainly from the UK and select pockets of the US. Noticing quickly that this genre would allow him to express the full range of his musical palette and eclectic tastes, he shifted gears away from hip-hop and into bass music. In a short amount of time, he had adapted his hip-hop/party rocking style of djing to dubstep and electronic music, and continues to explore and create within those genres. Since returning to Chicago in late 2009, he has released several dubstep mixes, original productions and remixes, performs all over Chicago and the Midwest, helped create and launch the Chicago Bass Culture crew “Fresh Kid”, featured regularly on dubstep.fm radio’s “The Dented Sessions” as well as their monthly bass music night, and continues to bring you the finest quality music, videos, and no-holds-barred dj sets!!
