The next releases “Hostages” [Ultragore] (collab with SLUGGO) and their freely available “Dramatron”, “Beat Down” [Squitty Bubbler], along with the classic "Whistle Tips" [Dubsaw] (collab with Point.blank) have each received similar fanfare and critical acclaim, and have helped them earn the incredible support of the powerful Dubstep blogosphere.

Forthcoming releases on Play Me, Ultragore, and Dub Cartel have these boys primed for bass music domination. Expect to see collaborations with Point.blank, Mark Instinct, SLUGGO, Hulk, and others as well as an original EP featuring Dubstep, Drumstep, and Electro.

The drum n bass scene in Los Angeles would be drastically different if not for the influence of the one like DJ CRS?. He has established himself as one of the godfathers of drum n bass here in the City of Angels. From rocking ol’ skool warehouse events back in the mid and late 90’s to rinsing clubs and massive from 2000 till today, CRS? is a name that frequents the lips of many established DJs within the Los Angeles circuit as an influence. His legacy doesn’t stop short with showcases behind the decks, but also include his production credits. He has roughly 30+ releases and hundreds of tunes he has passed out and played as “exclusives”. From the sounds of the dub/reggae influenced ragga jungle to aggressive amen sets even down to upfront drum n bass, CRS? is a rare DJ who has buck’d being pigeonholed and can play any style you want. He is lethal on the decks with the mix, has the ability to implore a jungle scratching technique perfected by few and most important is a favorite of dancefloors across the country.
