Pioneer CDJ1000MK3 / Denon X1600 Mixer / Sennheiser HD25 Adidas edition Headphones / Native Instruments Traktor Scratch Pro 2.5 / Native Instruments X1 / Macbook / External HD filled with the 'ish' to knock your designer socks off!!! Shit to rock your designer socks right off! Hey there, my name is Pietro, a.k.a. RedEyez or TheRedEyedJedi. I've been in the game for quite some time now, I first started spinning way back when I was a kid. When I was about 12 one of my older brother's friends invited me to go to an all ages club called Focus here in Toronto. That is where I was first introduced to House music, I got addicted to Focus, and I was there every weekend listening, watching, learning. The smell of a crowd sweating as the DJ controlled the dance floor, the bass pumped the blood through my body. I got hooked, and I got hooked real good. Listening to tracks like 'Big Fun' & 'Good Life' by Inner City, 'The Whistle Song' by Frankie Knuckles or 'Can You Feel It?' by Mr Fingers. I watched the DJ's and knew deep down inside that this is what I was meant to do. I got myself some cheap turntables and a Pyramid mixer with wood grain on the side (not sure if you know the one I'm talking about) Slowly started my collection of music, buying music from Starsound on Yonge st. then moving on south to other record shops. I also got into Hip Hop, and heavy into reggae, but my love for House music always dominated me. As a child, I grew up in my dad's music studio in Costa Rica, so to me it only made sense for me to have a studio in my home, so I built a little basement studio and started messing around with some friends creating some tracks that I still haven't released, soon... don't you worry. My boy Clint and I have started a little group called 'The Caretakerz' Together we have started making beats, and remixing each others tracks, building a catalogue if you will. Life had taken me to many places, and eventually I met my wife, we bought a house, and had kids. Next thing you know... Life did not allow for me to spin anymore, I needed to provide for my family and I have. Now, I've been given an opportunity to start up again... This time I'm going for it.... Keep your ears open, cause 'The Caretakerz' are coming to clean up! ;Ps. ;I'm sure I missed a bunch of stuff in the middle there... please use your imagination.... Redeyez. Richie Hawtin, Main St. records, Timo M., This list could get long... so I'll just say.... anything with a great vibe.

Justin discovered Bass music at the age of 16 on the radio (Monday nights: Global Groove Network, rebroadcast on University of Toronto’s CIUT 89.5FM). He Started attending Toronto events in 1999, his first being one thrown by “Big Bud”. Nicky Blackmarket soon became his personal DJ hero, due to his track selection and upbeat personality. He soon began attending Contraband events in Barrie and was introduced to the local underground community. Due to his persistence and skill, he was adopted by Contraband and originally learned to mix vinyl on Tec1200 turntables, since CDs were far from mainstream. He soon realized that he needed this creative outlet, and purchased his first set of turntables. The Contraband Family has been a strong personal influence for Justin from the start, encouraging him to embrace music as a hobby and a means to focus and stay productive. Working with the organization he was able to further develop his turntable technique and self-confidence - and meet people with similar interests. He has built up his vinyl collection, buying and trading with other favourite local DJs, but most of his current purchases are digital.He has become proficient with Pioneer CD decks and digital interfaces - preferring Serato or Traktor using vinyl or CDs, or either medium without an interface. In 2012 Data-Bass started Gridlock Radio - a weekly internet radio show featuring rotating guests on BassJunkees. The show celebrated it’s 1-Year Anniversary in February of 2013 and has become one of the station's top downloads. Miss Cheviouss (aka Selectra) has been moved from her apartment to the clubs causing trouble on the decks the whole time since she recently busted onto the scene in 2010. She has been supporting bass culture since way back in 1998, which means she was quite probably too young to be "raving".. Jen quickly accumulated a quality collection of a wide variety of digital music and through practice and dedication, plus the support from her friends, developed her technique and consistent precision on CD-decks over a very short period of time. She jumped at the opportunity to become a resident DJ on the Gridlock Radio show on Bassjunkees and many of her mixes can be heard via their PodCasts. She showed much promise as a radio DJ and was welcomed to the Contraband family in 2013. Now surrounded by positive, strong minded people and the right resources, her senses of creativity and motivation have been seriously augmented and she is showing absolutely no signs of slowing down. She is now one of the co-hosts of "Locked Up" (host of the "Liquid Lunch" segment) -Saturdaysat2pm ESTon Contraband Radio! Selctra has been making her mark by performing with deadly precision and versatility, mixing nearly all styles and sub-genres of drum & bass music, dubstep and trap, constantly feeding off of the crowd’s energy.
