Spiggy
From humble beginnings, spinning Industrial at a small town club in Wisconsin, Spiggy's ability to command a dancefloor saw him quickly rise to residencies at such prestigious DC clubs as Capital Ballroom/Nation, Tracks and The Edge. In 2000, after leaving a major mark on the DC Industrial scene, he took a sabbatical to focus on technical skills and further explore his growing appreciation for house and tech-trance.
Today, his sets, while labelled "Electrohouse," encompass a wide variety of the genres he's come to love, covering electro, funky house, synthpop, EBM and more. A consummate performer; his impeccable track selection, smooth mixing and unparalleled energy behind the decks, makes him one DJ not to miss.
AO125
During his frequenting of both the now defunct Tracks and Capitol Ballroom/Nation, he met Spiggy and an almost instant friendship was formed... mostly over arguing about tastes in music. It was this very friendship which later led to his partnering with Sovereign State Productions.
Just a little over two years into his DJ career, AO125 is showing signs of great promise in becoming an important name within the Washington DC house music scene.
You can hear him playing a blend of disco house, vocal house, jazzy house and while most people think Disco died before the 1980's, AO125 keeps it alive and gives it a home in Washington DC. If you are looking for really anything that screams "1970s", "BIG", and "FUNKY" AO125 and his Sovereign-State tag team partner, The Logic Theorist, will bring it hard and fast as they are the east coast's masters of "Pants Entering Funk".
The Logic Theorist
Playing since 1996 and now a veteran of both the New Orleans club scene and the Dallas club/electronic music scene, the Logic Theorist has established himself as a household name in the Texas area. Originally a Retro and EBM Industrial DJ, he has grown in style and versatility over the years to include a wide variety of sounds. His grooves always run smooth and deep, from the introspection of Atmospheric Drum and Bass, to the sweet upbeat vibe of 2 Step Garage.
In April of 2000, the Logic Theorist co-founded Neuro.flux Productions, with a mindset of contributing to the scene and taking it back to the music. As a head of Neuro.flux, the Logic Theorist was responsible for a number of all DnB club events, as well as bringing such talent to Dallas as Kosheen, Bad Company, Loxy and Dylan, WishFM, John Howard, and BMC. Neuro.flux Productions events are most noted for quality DJs, intimate environments and good vibes. With work done on Zen Fest, it became clear that the Logic Theorist's view of what Neuro.flux should be was not in sync with the rest of the crew, and he parted ways with them.
Having caught the 2 Step Garage groove in November of '99, the Logic Theorist is using his absence from Neuro.flux to help further the 2 Step sound in the Dallas area, and founded the south's first all 2 Step Garage crew, the Tuff Breaks Crew. As founder of Tuff Breaks, the Logic Theorist established the first all 2 Step weekly in the state of Texas (as well as the entire region), which has been listed in both Urb Magazine and Feedback magazine, and ran for 1.5 years. He has also brought international level 2 Step talent under the Tuff Breaks moniker, including MJ Cole and WishFM.
2001 saw the Logic Theorist's first foray into touring out of state since 1997 and 98's Chicago and Dallas guest spots at Industrial events, which has been accented in 2002 by headlining 2 events in New Mexico and one in OKC, as well as smaller guest DJ spots in and around the South, and a surprise appearance in San Francisco. In 2003 the Logic Theorist was able to finally get to the upper east coast, to play Runnin' Fridays, Boston's then premier UK Garage night. Look out for more guest appearances in your area!

Veracity
Chris DeRamus, AKA Veracity, has long held an interest in music. As a young teenager in the early 90's, he was immediately drawn towards the nonconformist Grunge and Industrial music prevalent during that era. A few years later his friend returned from Europe with several dance music CD's, and interests were suddenly shifted…
Within a few years he was attending clubs and one-offs as often as possible, and developed an intense love for House music. The disregard for the pretentious and the applicability as a style of music primarily written to make you want to move drew Chris immediately towards the genre. The desire to instill others with the same feeling he had experienced so many times before was long harbored. With an arsenal of unique track selection ranging from funky filtered House to energetic Electro coupled with honed technical skills Veracity will keep you moving all night.
