grant plant  [icu promo]
2am-3am
Grant Plant is one of the most animated DJs breathing. Excitable, enthusiastic and wound up like a tightly twisted rubber band, when he twists behind the decks, he captains a flight that promises soaring highs, thrills and acrobatics. Subtlety is not his trademark. Grant approaches programming and mixing from a totally different style than dominates the ranks of DJs

"I really feel the crowd. When they are going off, it is the driving force behind me. Their vibe fuel's my adventurous artistic skill, and the result is an explosion of energy that bounces back and forth. As a DJ, I'm very showy to what I am doing. When the crowd responds to that, it's wicked." None of this is too surprising considering Grant's preliminary DJ steps. From an early age Grant had a love affair with music, as a guitarist and singer songwriter. After mastering the 1200's he played one of his first public sets on a side area at the '92 Glastonbury festival. Over several years, what started off as 500 dancers disenchanted with the main-stage rock fare grew into a roaring crowd of 8,000.

mars  [frequency 8, sf]
mars 3am-4am
Making waves in the West Coast's Underground music culture is internationally acclaimed'Mars' (A.K.A. Michael Adam RobbinS) of Frequency 8. Mars has helped create roots for a new sound, Cybertrance, first in Germany, secondly in San Francisco, and the world.

Beginning with an ideal of furthering consciousness through trance music, Mars, with friend and partner Mystre (A.K.A. Eric Newman), created Frequency 8 (F-8) or Fate. Initially the movement began as a production company, which created and promoted events focused entirely on this then new sound 'Cybertrance'. The next step was to establish a home base and outlet for Trance music to reach the public, especially in San Francisco, where house music dominated the scene. F-8 fostered Cybertrance in a tightly knit rave community. Growing stronger, popularity and a steadily growing following lifted it up into the massive scene where it became and currently is the most prominent sound in the Bay Area. Mars opened Frequency 8 the record store and it became the first electronica shop dedicated to the Cybertrance movement in America. Since the initial opening in San Francisco, F-8 has spread to Seattle, and Los Angeles.

thee-o [biohazard, la]
10:15pm-11:15pm
A Thee-O live set is something not to be missed. RaveOne.com put it best when it stated that, "Thee-O's greatest strength is that he is never weak. Some DJ's can tear off a great set on one night, then crap out on another. Thee-O oftentimes approaches greatness, but never falls into mediocrity" while The Rave Section at The Mining Company proclaims: "Thee-O continually proves to be the LA trance master.

beetlejuice [la]
5:30pm-6:45pm
Beetle's love for music started early, of course he had know idea there were so many different types of music. Then two years ago (2000) he was introduced to the Rave seen by a close friend. From that moment on he studied all the techniques to learn what it was he needed to do to become a successful Dj. He went home and bought his first turn tables and mixer and began to learn. After only two short months he spun at his first Rave. With his fast growing name and ever so popular music (Nu-NRG), people began to follow.

Within months the top clubs were demanding his incredible style and energizing personality in their scene. BeetlJuiceís first big break came when Naked LA (one of LAís top clubs) asked him to become one of their resident Djís. With a smile on his face he accepted. That became a stepping stone to his residency at another huge club in Orange County called Raw. Each club holds about 3,000- 4,000 people. BeetleJuice has spun with many artists such as: Sandra Collins, Thomas Michael, Paul-E, Keoki, Adam Webb, Adam Rush, Beej, and many others.
