WORLD TOWN
The 18+ Lazer Tag Tour Feat. Hyper Crush and Far East Movement plus The Cataracs and Dev
...
***Far East Movement***
The
Far East Movement hailing from the clubs and streets of Los Angeles,
are one of the freshest crews representing the next generation of
artists and “fly music.” Members Kev Nish, Prohgress, J-Splif, and DJ
Virman have created a huge industry buzz with major companies, radio
stations, and club djs worldwide through their international appeal,
energetic live shows, and
collaborations with top street wear companies.
***Hyper Crush***
It’s
time to go back to the future with the extra-terrestrial trio Hyper
Crush, live and direct from Los Angeles' gr8-1-8 area code, gracing us
with their presence due to a malfunction with their flux-capacitor.
Real genius Donny Fontaine and intergalactic beauty Holly Valentine
handle the vocals while the group’s very own Doc Brown, Preston
Moronie, mans the boards. The trio
have been banging out tracks together since high school and are now ready for domination.
***Dev***
There’s
an image we all have of the small town girl following her dreams and
moving to Los Angeles, only to have the City of Angels chew her up and
spit her out. This is not the case with Dev. This small town girl has
fangs; and she’s come to L.A. on a mission to take it to the top.
A
native to Cali’s central valley who now resides in Los Angeles, Dev’s
music is no nostalgia trip. This is the sound of right now; from the
streets to the club to the bedroom, Dev’s music is a fun, sexy mishmash
of pop, R&B, dance and hip-hop, all delivered with a distinctive,
unique voice.
That voice belongs to a self-described outsider. “I
love Los Angeles, but I’m not really part of any scene,” says Dev.
Living in a city full of followers and going your own way might seem
paradoxical, but that’s what Dev is all about. She’s a small town girl
with a big city attitude. In her lyrics you’ll hear someone who is
cocky, deviant, sarcastic and at the same time, incredibly sweet and
honest.
Along with collaborators The Cataracs (who are also
artists, themselves), who discovered Dev and nurtured her talent, she
has carved her own sound by creating her own world.
That happens
with both sound and vision. “Visuals are almost as important as music
for me,” says Dev. She continues, “Growing up, that was always my
favorite thing about my favorite artists.”
When watching the
hypnotic video for “Booty Bounce” you get the impression that you are
watching the next great pop star blossom right before your eyes, even
if you can barely keep your eyes on her; with the hyper-speed cuts and
countless costume changes giving you a thousand versions of the same
artist.
Dev’s visual sensibility is accentuated by her collaboration
with the fashion label Hellz-Bellz, who sponsor Dev and have a hand in
her look. So when you see Dev onstage, rocking out routines that she
has planned out with her DJ, Havoc, she’s likely rocking Hellz-Bellz
threads.
This now-you-see-her-now-your-don’t
quality exists in Dev’s music as well. On songs like “Booty Bounce” and
“Fireball,” she rap-sings over pulsating R&B-electro beats,
imploring the listener to party with her, while maintaining a
charismatic, enigmatic distance; like you see her across the room but
can’t quite reach out to her.
The whole picture on who Dev really is
will be clear soon. “I feel like my album will have a lot of different
sounds and speeds.” With guidance being provided by Indie-Pop (home of
The Cataracs) and RPM MSC (the management company that counts LMFAO as
members of their stable), she is being primed for greatness.
Get
ready to take a ride with a whole new kind of California girl. Dev is
dead set for world domination—it’s in her rhymes, her swag, her
clothes, her videos and her attitude—but she’s still the same old Dev
from next door.
***The Cataracs***
Barely old enough to
drink legally, The Cataracs have developed a sound truly their own. A
group, as well as a production duo, their music touches on elements of
pop, r&b, hip hop, rock, and dance music, with only one thing
remaining constant...the unique personalities which make up The
Cataracs. After becoming local celebrities in San Francisco thanks to
their infamous "Technohop Dance Parties", the Cata boys have continued
to cultivate a worldwide following transcending cultural and racial
boundaries, though always remaining true to their core
fanbase...teenage girls. In the past year, The Cataracs have rocked
clubs around the world with their high energy dance set, signed a
record deal with Universal Republic, and produced records for some of
the biggest artists in popular music. Expect great things from these
young future superstars.
***Trevor Simpson***
The
entertainment and electronic music bug bit Trevor Simpson at a very
young age. He started DJing and producing events at the tender age of
14 in Boulder Colorado. In 1997 Trevor founded Torque Productions, an
underground event production company and clothing label. Later that
year Trevor moved to San Francisco and quickly gained a devoted
following as one of the city’s fresh new house DJs. Over the years
Trevor held many prominent positions as resident DJ for Mixed Elements
production company as well as clubs such as the legendary 1015 Folsom.
In 2005 Trevor Simpson became the music director for Energy 92.7FM, San
Francisco’s Pure Dance radio station. At Energy 92.7 Trevor mixed house
music daily at 6pm for the drive home and then took over as on-air
personality and host from 7pm-midnight. Trevor has now moved his award
winning mix show “The Clubbers Commute” to Wild 94.9, the number one
rated station in San Francisco airing the best in global house music
for two hours every Friday night for the drive home from the clubs!
As
a producer Trevor has remixed tracks for Lady Gaga, M.I.A., Jason
Derulo, LMFAO, Oscar G, and had the best selling mix of the #1
Billboard smash “Push n Pull” by Sylvia Tosun. Trevor has released five
“World Town” CDs that have become staples in cars and iPods all over
the world, and four major label mix CDs on Ultra Records including
Ultra Dance 8, which sold over 80,000 copies.
Trevor Simpson,
along with fiancée Mariam, produces his signature monthly event “World
Town” at Ruby Skye, San Francisco’s premier nightclub and concert
venue. World Town has seen some of the biggest DJs, artists, and live
performers in dance music including: Tiesto, Lady Gaga, David Guetta,
Kaskade, Fedde Le Grande, Luciana Live, DJ Chuckie, Mischa Daniels,
Funkerman, Stonebridge, Morgan Page, JJ Flores and Steve Smooth, Dave
Dresden, Andy Caldwell, and resident DJ Trevor Simpson.
The
future is bright for Trevor Simpson as the USA’s next big electronic
music star. His first full-length album will be finished in June and
boasts features from some of the best-known names in dance music. World
Town is also expanding to new markets including San Diego, Las Vegas,
Phoenix, Denver and Cabo San Lucas in the summer of 2010. Trevor’s
ability to blend all aspects of dance and pop music in to a set that
retains underground credibility is infectious, and is the future of the
global sound.
