DOCTOR JEEP BIO:
Doctor Jeep is a 25-year old New York native known to most as Andre Lira. While attending college in Boston he quickly gained notoriety as one of the city’s most eclectic young selectors, blending upbeat house and techno with the global sounds of baile funk, dancehall, old-school uk garage, african percussionism and more. With DJ sets mixing the past, present, and future of dance music in some of Boston and New York’s best clubs, he has proven to adapt to any vibe and make it his own style of party.
Production-wise, Jeep’s music has been described as “a style somewhere between the tropical inclinations of Dutty Artz, the grinding 808 electro of Swamp81, and the breakbeat-heavy sound of 90″s UK rave music.” With four releases on NYC's legendary Trouble & Bass imprint, and DJ support from internationally known artists such as Claude VonStroke, Eats Everything, Shy FX, B.Traits, Hannah Wants, Addison Groove, and My Nu Leng to name a few, the future looks bright for this young producer.

BRUCE FOREST BIO:
The legendary American DJ/producer Bruce Forest was the resident DJ in the ‘80’s at NYC’s Better Days, a well-known underground club, that served as an incubator for, then emerging, talents such as David Morales, Kenny Carpenter, Tony Humphies & Timmy Regisford, amongst many others. Bruce was best known for being one of the first DJ’s to play house in NYC back in 1984, and he was also a pioneer bringing studio gear into the dj booth. He produced and remixed hundreds of albums and tracks by artists including Whitney Houston, Madonna, Rick James, Earth Wind & Fire, Elton John, Paul McCartney, Boy George, Erasure, Robert Palmer, Donna Summer, Blondie, and is best known for his remix of Carl Bean’s “I Was Born This Way” created with Shep Pettibone.
THE FULL STORY:
Legendary American DJ/producer who replaced the late Tee Scott as the resident DJ at NYC's Better Days, a primarily Black Gay discotheque near Times Square. Better Days was one of the longest running clubs in NYC, opening in 1972 and becoming "Bedrox" in 1989, when Bruce left, not wanting to be part of the Gotti family's business once they bought what had been Better Days. Hanna-Barbera's legal team quickly put an end to the new owners' misuse of their trademarked "Flintstones" name, and Better Days did re-open for several months, with several notable DJs playing there, and subsequently closed for the very last time, becoming a restaurant.
Better Days was a fertile DJ incubator, with some of the famous guests being: David Morales, Kenny Carpenter, Shep Pettibone, Tony Humphries, Larry Patterson, Bert Bevens, Timmy Regisford, Bert Lockett, and many more. Tough crowd, but the best energy ever for a medium sized club.
Bruce started bringing homemade electronics (samplers, computers, keyboards, digital recorders..) into Better Days in 1982, and by 1984, the legendary David Cole was often playing keyboards over various tracks that Bruce would play. These jams could go on for hours, and were the inspiration for several records released by others, such as "My Loleatta" and "Do It Properly!".
His first remix ever was UDM - To Please You from 1982, and he often would do a special mix for the club, run over and play it fresh off the tape to gauge reaction, then go back to the studio to fine tune. He remixed/produced hundreds of records, and was involved in production of the very first Chicago house releases. He moved to the UK in 1989, played guest spots at Astoria, Land of Oz and other London venues. He lived across the street from SARM West studios in London, bringing a NY feel to British artists like Elton John and Paul McCartney, while still making serious club records for Virgin's More Protein label.
He was married in 1991, and decided to leave music production in 1994 to go full time into digital media technology, specifically music and film distribution on the net. He moved back to the States in 1995, and he still loves to go back to his DJ roots and spend hours playing with Traktor. Bruce's portfolio of mixes, remixes and production work speaks for itself.
