MINNESOTA

Minnesota is one of the most innovative and proficient electronic producers to come out of the West Coast bass music movement. His sound breaks aways from the various subgenres of EDM but holds onto origins of dubstep and hip-hop, creating a truly authentic experience for his audience. Early on in his career Minnesota said, “My goal is to make bass heavy dubstep/glitch-hop music that’ll get you dancing, but it is not the same old three note transformer step… I try to focus more on the melodic side of dubstep, and hopefully, make quality songwriting a more relevant factor in the genre.” For the past four years Minnesota has followed through on his word and designed smooth, melodic, uplifting sounds, which fans have celebrated nationwide.

JACKAL

Mikey Pennington, best known by his artist name Jackal, is a 23 year-old music producer and DJ. Originally from England, Jackal started producing when he was 19 while attending the University of Canterbury. From a young age Jackal has been musically inclined, learning to play guitar, drums and making beats on his keyboard at the age of 7. Since the release of his track “Shakedown”, Jackal’s presence in electronic dance music has quickly risen and continues to make an impression, his beats often finding their way into the sets of artists from Skrillex to Diplo.

G JONES

In just the last few years, 22-year-old Santa Cruz producer G Jones has captivated young audiences across North America with his playful and expansive take on broken beat dance music. His live show weaves an ever expanding catalog of heavy knocking hip hop beats, cross-genre experiments, and expansive melodic riffs in a way that illuminates and drives the dance floor. With his irreverent attitude toward unimaginative EDM, this young producer pushes the envelope and blurs the lines between musical styles while maintaining a meticulous balance of minimal space and heavy bass.

PLANTRAE

Plantrae is an intricate, energetic and biotic sound experience originating deep in the rainforests of Cascadia. It is composed of a bass rooted, stretchy mid-tempo foundation and live viola improvisation that embodies the spirited essence of classical, swing and folk. Moving percussion blends seamlessly with glistening string melodies and vibrant synth lines, bringing folk and earth-inspired psalms into the bass driven universe of mid-tempo and broken beat glitch-hop.

NICO LUMINOUS

West Coast Bass Maker NICO LUMINOUS is on a mission. His unique brand of "Glitch-a-delic Soul Whomp" fuses Melodic progressions, futuristic sound design and organic elements into sexy bass rollers. His original DJ sets journey through all tempo ranges and styles from Psychedelic Trap, Sensual Luvstep and Bouncey Mid-tempo Wobble jams. Hiphop, Dancehall, R&B, and Dub play a major influence in the Luminous sound to keep it grounded while travelling deep into to the sonic soundscape of modern synths and drum machines. Incorporating Beat-boxering, live looping, and a multitude of other instruments, his performances make for an unforgettable experience. He integrates his uplifting lyrics, and his well developed keyboard and Conga playing and often throws in his custom effects pedal belt for a show like you've never seen or heard before.

BRIDGETOWN REVUE

Bridgetown Revue was born out of our compulsive need to create, connect, and inspire through the performing, visual, and tactile arts. Dance is inspiration, dance connects us to our bodies and our spirit. It is our hope that through sharing the strength, the sensuality, and at times silliness of life through dance and art, others will be sparked to create more, love more, and dance more!
