Flosstradamus, the oft-mentioned Chicago DJ duo comprised of J2K (Josh Young) and Autobot (Curt Cameruci) have been dominating the party scene nationwide with their tag-team DJ sets (3 turntables, 2 mixers) for just over a year and show no signs of slowing down. But let's get one thing straight, for the record: no more Wu-Tang requests, please!
Both established DJs in Chicago prior to their alliance as Flosstradamus, J2K and Autobot initially linked up while DJing a house party together in 2005, decided to start performing as a duo, and the rest is history. Gathering vast influences from their respective backgrounds in punk and hip-hop, Flosstradamus brought normally divided crowds together with their unique mixes of Baltimore club, hip-hop, house, obscure remixes, and juke. A monthly party soon followed ("Get Outta The Hood") at Chicago's Town Hall Pub, and within a year Flosstradamus turned a stagnant bar into the proverbial place-to-be, lines stretching down the block while sweaty kids crowd surf and get down inside. National press soon began to take notice, with features in URB ("Next 100 for 2006"), MTV (featured in "My Block"), and The Fader. Other recent accolades of note include 2006 appearances at SXSW, CMJ, Pitchfork Festival, Pop Montreal, parties for VICE, The Fader, Jane Magazine, DKNY, URB, and Puma, not to mention performances with Clipse, Common, and Rick Ross.
In the coming year, Flosstradamus plan to show off the rest of their multifaceted talent. Coming soon will be a full length Flosstradamus LP with J2K and Autobot on production duties, a mixtape with up and coming rappers The Cool Kids, and a European tour with A-Trak and Kid Sister.

Gantman

Gant Garrard (pronounced Jerrod) aka Gant-Man was introduced to mixing in the mid 80's by his older brother and learned how to count beats and blend records at the young age of 5. At the age of 9 he was ready to share his talent with the world and landed a mixshow on a college radio station in Chicago (WKKC 89.3 FM) where he mixed from 1989 through 1997. At age 14, his first residency was at a roller rink "The Rink Fitness Factory" from 1994 to 1996 where he exposed his Ghetto House/Juke tracks to a large south side audience which helped shape the Ghetto House/Juke sound. Gant was the protege of Chicago House legend Paul Johnson learning the ropes about producing house music and at age 15 in 1995, Gant produced his first EP for Dance Mania record label titled "Its About Time" which spawned the Chicago underground smash "3 Blind Mice" which was built around the theme music from "The Three Stooges" television show. He became known in Chicago as the "Youngest Professional DJ" and is attributed to being one of the main key innovators of Ghetto House/Juke. Right after many more EP's and mix tapes followed. In 1998 Gant alongside DJ Puncho coined the word "Juke" by saying it on Ghetto House tracks and mixtapes which made everybody who listened to this start calling this sound Juke music. At age 18 he began to travel, playing both the rave and club circuits in Chicago, the U.S. as well as in Europe. In 1998-99 Gant toured with Paul Johnson playing in France, Belgium and Switzerland, that prepared him for his summer 2000 residency in Ibiza at El Divino alongside Paul. Gant started doing assistant production with grammy award winning remixer Maurice Joshua on R&B group Destiny Child remixes which landed him his breakthrough remix in 2005 making Gant the first Juke producer to have a Juke remix on a major label with a major artist with his official remix of Beyonce's "Check On It" feat. Slim Thug on Sony/Columbia Records. The Juke remix era was now official with hundreds of Juke remixes of Hip hop and r&b artists, underground and major. 2006 was Gant's smash remix of Chicago House/Techno legend Cajmere aka Green Velvet's "Shake & Pop" single which sold the most downloads on the EP. Cajmere continues to hire Gant for his juke sound of his projects. Since then Gant teamed up with the Fool's Gold/Downtown family releasing the club smash "Juke Dat Girl" single and remixing Kid Sister singles, "Damn Girl" and "Pro Nails" feat. Kanye West. Producing her next single "Switchboard" featuring Gant rapping on the 2nd verse. 2008, Gant launched his record label Bang Tha Box Recordingz specializing in the best Juke/Footwork House tracks in the Juke industry. Doesn't look like Gant will stop jukin' any time soon! From "jack" to "juke" Gant is house music!!!
Supreme Cuts

A mixture of samples, creative chopped verses, and original musicianship allow Chicago’s Supreme Cuts to create some spectacular music. If How To Dress Well’s balls dropped and he made a love child with James Blake while tripping acid in the back of hazy, laser light infested club, Supreme Cuts would be said child. -Small Plates Records
