::: NIKO ::: [Dubs Alive Records / Permanent Damage Records / 40hz]
Niko has a strong passion to share good music with those around him and has been for the last 13 years. Whether its commanding a dance floor, hosting a radio show or producing original works, theres no shortage of sounds that deserve your attention. His production style ranges anywhere from deep to dance floor, abstract to traditional while DJ sets aim to make the people move while keeping things fresh. This past summer saw his bass heavy Rude Behaviour EP with Jonah K get released on Permanent Damage Records as well as be included in the most recent compilation release from San Francisco label, Dubs Alive. In efforts to bring more good music to light, plans are underway for a new radio show to air on dubplate.fm this spring.
::: DJ SPAZZMONK ::: [Om Reunion Project]
DJ Spazzmonk Gabor Podor has been spinning Jungle and drum & bass since 1997. A versatile DJ with a finesse for track selection and a mastery of blending, he plays anything funky he can get his hands on. Gabor has been working with the original OM festival 1998-2004 and Om Reunion Project since its inception both as a DJ and coordinator, and has also performed at events hosted by Archi-Textures, CirQlar, alieninflux, and Promise. This Spectrum, he will be massaging all of your synapses with some deliciously deep jungle.

::: SPYNE vs. JONAH K ::: [Spectrum / 40hz Productions / SUMA]
Spyne and Jonah K require no introduction for lovers of underground bass music. Prime movers of the dance floor, these two are well-known for pumping the finest of low end frequencies through the largest subs available. Through their respective collectives, 40hz and SUMA, they have been responsible for bringing some of the best international bass talent to perform in T.O., including Mala, Goth Trad, Biome, Author, and many more. For this event, they will join forces in a rare back-to-back session. Not to be missed!

::: LEXIFER ::: [Spectrum / Legion of Green Men]
With over 25 years experience in electronic music culture, as 1/2 of Legion of Green Men, Lexifer has an ear to curate with confidence. This year marks the 20th anniversary of Legion of Green Men's debut "Spatial Specific" album which is getting a deluxe reissue in just a few weeks time. But whereas LOGM delves into more esoteric electronica, for this edition of Spectrum, Lexifer intends to deliver a set of beats, breaks and bass of a particular potency. Put on your bouncy shoes.
