:KHAN [SHAHRIAR KHAN]: dj, deep eastern progressive

Currently he is affiliated with a leading internet radio station called protonradio.com and local progressive house artist management groups ph1.ca.

:STEVEN CHAPMAN:
dj, house & techno
Born Steven Chapman in Kelowna B.C. "Chaps" or sometimes referred to as "Nucleus" when producing or dj'ing hardcore techno. Chaps began dj'ing in late 1998 and has played the gambit of parties up and down the lower mainland and interior of British Columbia. Beginning with a love for hardcore gabber techno and donning the moniker "Nucleus" , he produced parties as well as dj'd in the fledgling local hardcore scene. Soon though the production bug of another kind was biting and Nucleus produced several tracks which showed his love for additional styles of electronic music. This diverse love of techno is most of its forms naturally led Steve to try his hand at dj'ing different types of music. Namely House and Techno. This is where Steve stands now, nearly finished his school at BCIT and focusing his little remaining time towards House and Techno and sporting a new dj name to represent his change of styles.
:P.A. Suplex:

:sprouT:
Sprout aka Tammra started to fool around with the turntables in '98 when she realized that Golden's dance culture was lacking and needed a little boost. She jumped on stage with her turntables and played every record she could get her hands on. In the beginning you would hear tunes by Massive Attack or totally abstract and hard to find uncut '70's Disco (which she still has, plays and cherishes) and even 'Hold The Line' by TOTO! sprouT has had a serious black crack addiction ever since.
sprouT feels an innate tribal connection with her music and audience and celebrates in the dance phenomenon that ensues in front of her. She is presently spinning disco, digital disco, house- all kinds, beats & breaks, electroclash / electro, tribal, techno, Symmetry, Love and Light. She collects all kinds of records and will take on any event challenge ranging from Hip-Hop to Rock.
All sprouT wants to accomplish when she is on the decks, is to "move" the onlisteners in some way - physically, mentally or spiritually. sprouT is very interactive with her crowds (she likes to throw in some vocals here and there). It's a two-way channel and sprouT is simply the medium between you and the vibration > she often feels waves of energy, which empowers her to get tweaky with her mixes. Sometimes the energy is so intense that she has to come out and dance it off. It's important for her to create this kind of relationship right from the get-go and sees it as a challenge. Beware! sprouT is watching you too.
