Posted - 01/05/2005 : 04:57:49 AM For close to half a decade two seperate forces in electronic music have remained at the forfront of the Upstate New York scene. They have seen events from Large to small, Massives to Intimate showcases. Two forces, remaining seperate.. Until tonight. Tonight we bring them together.. Not only them.. But 5 crews and one amazing venue. It has finally come time for Upstate New York's longest running Dance music venue and longest running production company to bring you something that cannot and will not be duplicated. GAC Productions and Trexx Nightclub Proudly present an event five years in the making.
GAC Productions in assocation with Trexx Nightclub and the Debut of Vibe 315 presents.. FIVE Friday, April 8th, 2005 Trexx Nightclub 319 N Clinton Street Syracuse, NY 13202 GAC Productions in assocation with The Bubble and Vinyl Beat Productions Present : THE FOUR FOUR! Josh The Funky 1 1am-2:30am - Funky House “Universal Sound” CD Release Tour System Recordings/ Funktion / Fused - Chicago Josh "The Funky 1" hails from Chicago, the home of House Music. A DJ for over 12 years, Josh blends a unique style of funky house, tech-house, and breaks, while incorporating ill-scratching and turntable tricks. Josh's passion for the art of DJ'ing first came about when he discovered hip-hop while still in grade school. A fan of early pioneering hip-hop groups like Public Enemy, EPMD, and Eric B and Rakim, he was enthralled by the art of scratching. One day a friend lent Josh a videotape of a DJ battle, which unknowingly turned out to be a D.M.C. battle, the most renowned DJ battle in the world. Mesmerized by what he saw could be done with 2 turntables and a mixer, Josh practiced and honed his skills relentlessly. His passion and persistence proved to be worthwhile, as he has since displayed his skills in some of the most prestigious DJ battles in the world. 1997 saw Josh became a D.M.C Midwest Finalist. In 1999 Josh competed in the Winter Music Conference scratching competition where he was a runner up to 3-time world champion DJ Craze. In the year 2000, Josh took 1st place in the beat-mixing competition at the Winter Music Conference DJ spin-off. Aside from competing, Josh's passion for music has led him to compile several mix compilations including his own "House Funktion" series, which showcases his diverse music selection and wicked turntable skills. Josh has also helped to co-produce legendary D.J., Bad Boy Bill's , "Bangin the Box Vol. 4" and "Banging in London" mix compilations. He hasn't ripped up the floor sinces Quikk Fixx 5. so get ready for his scratching skills and banging selection! It's time once agian for Josh The Funky 1! David Christopher aka Deviant 2:30am-4am - Tech House and Trance Balance Record/Toes in the Sand/Headrush Music - Cleaveland Every year two things are for sure. David Chrisopher aka Deviant will be playing Quikk Fixx and he will be rocking the floor. David is simply amazing, He keeps the dance floor moving non stop with the smoothest mixes. In addition as part of Balance Record pool he has the same hot track selection as djs like Paul Oakenfold, Paul Van Dyke, John Digweed. Sasha. David has been playing since day one and year after year he hasn't disappointed. Mike Parkay 12:00pm-1:00am - Funky House The Bubble/Vibe 315 - Utica Mike Parkay is one of the reason why we have a scene today. Plugging away and keep the party going night after night Mike give his whole heart and soul to us in every set and every production. As half of the Bubble and 1/3 of Vibe 315 Mike Keeps busy. Tonight He's going to keep you busy by giving you the Funkiest shit to groove to. You know Mike Parkay is on the decks when you see those asses shakin'! Sean Place and Kemp 10:30pm-12:00pm - Techno Vinyl Beat Productions and Eclectech - Syracuse Sean has been keeping busy with his weekly at Trexx as of late.. Kemp has been helping with eclectech wich has produced some of the best events over the years. Tonight though, Sean place and Kemp are taking the party higher with some nasty techno to make you move. Be on the dance floor and let your feet do the talking cause the duo will kick the party into high gear! Meta X and Bebop 9pm-10:30pm - Funky and Old school Acid house GACRaverz and Direkt Influenc/www.djsourceradio.co.uk - Syracuse/Sylvan Beach Bebop has been making quite a name for himself as of late.. Getting his root from attending the Quikk Fixx events over the years and honing his skills on djsourceradeo.co.uk. Meta X has been playing Quikk Fixx ever since it began five years ago.. Tonight he will be spreading the vibe to the fullest. As you see, Matt and Matt have the same love for music. Tonight they blend thier styles and make the night start out right.

He'll have you jumping and moving and making the play go crazy! get on the floor and get the fuck down! It's time for some BFSHM! YEAH!
GAC Productions in assocation with Brokenbeats and Gettup Massive Present : THE BASS! Stakka 2:30am-4am - Drum and Bass Cargo Industries/The Militia - Brighton, UK If you don't know who this is.. You might be missing the entire point of drum and bass! Shaun Morris, aka Stakka, has led his own digital revolution in music from a young age. As a teenager in Brighton, England in the 80’s, he took notice of the epic compositions of Jean-Michel Jarre. The futuristic sounds of the synthesizer and the catchy riffs relentlessly mutating into the next would find their way into Stakka’s insistent and unearthly sound. Evolution of that sound brought him to launching Cargo Industries at the start of 2003. The label is a mutated hybrid offspring of his style, past recordings, and label affiliations. Under Stakka creative control, Cargo will force-feed the evolution of Drum’n’Bass. Stakka has cut more plates then you can count and colaborations with the like of Andy C and more He is going to tear apart Upstate! Reid Speed 1am-1:30am - Drum and Bass Breakbeat Science/ESDJCO - Los Angeles Reid Speed has had a pretty great year. In the fourteen months since her first mix CD, Resonance, on Breakbeat Science Recordings, she conquered a 35-date tour, moved to Los Angeles, secured a national ad campaign with Triple 5 Soul, and was selected as the official DJ for a network comedy show. As the perfect finish to her outstanding debut year, Reid Speed now releases her powerful new drum + bass mix CD, Life After Dark, a reflection of her packed dancefloor sets that illuminates the depth of her selection and the full spectrum of her talent as a DJ. This is her first apearance upstate in over 6 years! Rob Gee 1:30am-2:30am - Hardcore ADAM Recordings - New York Few DJs can play music that hits hard as hell and moves a crowd to dance. Few can write original songs that make you want to sing. Only a special artist can play live in front of 1 million people. ROB GEE does all this and more. He's famous in New York as "the hardest DJ to ever play the Limelight." The crowds kept coming back to Limelight, just like they did in Italy, Ibiza, Scotland, Austria, Belgium, Holland's THUNDERDOME PARTIES and MYSTERYLAND FESTIVALS, France's MIDEM, and Germany's LOVE PARADE, where GEE played before 1 Million people in 1996. His indecisiveness as to whether or not he wanted to break dance and spin hip hop or jump in the mosh pit and play in a metal band was one of the reasons he began to cultivate his own style of both. While others are just spinning records, GEE is a true entertainer. Cat Scratch Fever Tour : Annalyze and Reid Speed on 3 tables and 2 mixers 12am-1am - Breakbeat Breakbeat Science/ESDJCO - Los Angeles and Skyehigh/Fused/Stanton - Rochester This is a chance to see two breakbeat divas at thier best! This special 3 table 2 mixer set is going to blow you mind! The crazy breakbeats the wild scratching. This set is breaks at it's best This is the first appearance for both Reid and Annalyze at Quikk fixx and this promises to be something that is talk about for quite some time!!! Milkdud vs Silas Maximus 11pm-12am - Old School Jungle Intellectual property vs Gettup Massive/Vibe 315 - Albany vs Auburn Allright everyone this is it, the moment you have been waiting for. The only junglist to play every Quikk Fixx mashes out with the Godfather of the Gettup Massive. If you've heard them Individually then you know what time it is.. Time for those classics. This is going to hurt you where it counts AMEN! Know what I mean. Plume vs Ganixx 10pm-11pm - Drum and Bass Brokenbeats/Dream Research vs Hyphonic - Binghamton vs Ithaca Two of the hard hitter of the drum and bass scene.. Two that are much more the just a DJ. They continue to push the scene foward with hot mixes and event production.. Exposing new heads to new beats.

Meniscus vs Modulate 9pm-10pm - Breaks Brokenbeats/Tangent vs Metrosoul/1300 - Binghamton vs Syracuse These two have been at every single Quikk Fixx since the very first year.
