Conspirator
Conspirator
Conspirator has been several years in the making. In late 2003, Aron and Marc, keyboard and bass players from the Disco Biscuits, set out to find a producer to help them bring to life the tracks they has made for a Trance-Fusion Super group show they played at Webster Hall in NYC, earlier that year. As fate would have it, they were quickly brought together with Omen, a young, Hungry revolutionary producer from Final Phaze NYC.
Dr. Fameus
Dr. Fameus
Dr Fameus is an electronic/drum-based music project created by the incredible Disco Biscuits drummer Allen Aucoin. Aucoin explores many different musical realms with DrFameus, ranging from breakbeats to drum 'n' bass to dubstep to techno/house. It is his ability to survey the crowd and then improvise that has allowed Aucoin to play in such diverse projects over the years.

Allen began his musical career not onstage, but instead in education and composition, included writing and teaching for award winning percussion ensembles. While attending Berklee College of Music in Boston, Aucoin was given the nickname Dr. Fameus, for being late all the time, and it has stuck ever since. After moving back to the southeast, Aucoin continued teaching while touring with the band Skydog Gypsy. In 2005, after winning a drum-off competition led by the band, Aucoin officially joined up with the Philadelphia-based electronic jam band, the Disco Biscuits. Since winning the “drum off” held by the Biscuits in Atlantic City, Allen has played 450-500 shows with the quartet including shows at the Gorge Amphitheatre and Red Rocks Amphitheatre.

The level headed, but talented drummer/producer features surprise guests on keyboards and bass, while taking care of DJing and drumming all on his own. If you love forward-thinking improvisational dance music, do not miss this show.

Sovereign Sect
Sovereign Sect
Hailing from the frozen Tundra of Fargo, Sovereign Sect has taken the reins and pioneered one of the most underrated, vibrant live electronic scenes in the midwest. The Sect has played longside such acts as Marty Party, Mimosa, Ana Sia, Kraddy, Two Fresh, Pnuma Trio, Signal Path, EOTO, Fresh@Death, SPECTRE, OTT, Nasty Nasty, Mochipet, Eprom, Eskmo, Lynx and Janover, Beats Antique, Propa Tingz and Vibesquad, and have become a staple for bass music lovers from hundreds of miles away. With the recent addition of two new members to the previous producer/drummer combo, Sovereign Sect is delving into new realms of live production and improvised digital controllerism - tactfully fusing live performance aspects of traditional jam bands with the dance-friendly, musical-riot-enducing elements hip-hop, and bass culture music. Sovereign Sect is a sonic phenomenon not to be missed.
