Chart topping, dance floor rocking, and taste making come naturally to Atlanta based producer, DJ, label executive and promoter Mayhem. With over 15 years in the studio and 13 years on the decks, he has garnished the attention of the heavyweights in every genre of his focus. Rooted heavily in Drum & Bass music, and with a discerning ear, 28 year old Mayhem found himself making big moves from an early age. From releasing records for Andy C, TeeBee, Dieselboy, Noisia, and Black Sun Empire to DJing across the world for massive crowds in Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Europe and beyond; he has warranted a reputation for diversity and quality control. Collaborating with and developing artists such as Noisia, Le Castle Vania, Phace, Evol Intent, Sinthetix, Gein and Gridlok amongst many others, his production soared to new heights with "Exodus (featuring the legendary KRS-1)", "Moonway Renegade", and "Choke" with Noisia. Boundless inspiration pushed Mayhem to pursue Dubstep in it's formidable years, immediately signing with the reputable Subway Records. As of late his focus has been brought back to home on the forefront a movement combining southern Rap music with Dubstep collaborating with long time friend Heroes + Villains. His club nights Transit, Fuck Yesss, Heavy, Tambor Y Bajo, Atlanta Dubstep and Haute Mess have helped reshape Atlanta's nightlife. No matter the genre, you are guaranteed a diverse set with attention to detail and a healthy respect for dynamics and balance. This is Mayhem.

Seldom do you experience a DJ who so easily moves through different sounds and moods. Owen Renn, Atlanta native and music aficionado, has been part of several music collectives dedicated to that very progressiveness.
Heavily influenced by rich, jazzy textures laden with broken drum beats, he finds comfort in much of the dubby, techier side of electronic music. Through his patient, tension-building sets, Owen has a unique mixing style that has energized dance floors of myriad tastes.
Recently Owen has began managing Atlanta-based Embassy Recordings, and hosts a bi-weekly Sub.FM radio show alongside Embassy Recordings' co-founder Distal as well as acting as contributing writer for ICNT.MX and Sonic Router.

Wes Kane's alter ego is taking you to new territory! Not straying far from his roots, "A mid tempo blend of Dutch House and Caribbean vibes with a heavy dose of Electro and Dubstep" is the best way to describe the Moombahton genre that he has made his own. Already released remixes of "LMFAO" and "Mighty FOOLS" have been blowing up the blogs along with the full length mixtape "My Moombah Weighs a Ton"... The Wesley Snaps! EP featuring the Moombahcore banger "La Luchar" is will be released this Fall!
