BEATMACHINES
Never the same show twice, Beatmachines performs fully improvised electronic music performed without drum machines or sequencers and features Tony Smurphio from Afrobeta fame on synth and Suenalo percussionist extraordinaire JJ on the Wavedrum. With this minimalist pairing, Beatmachines takes listeners on a complex journey through genres, never stopping to rest or contemplate where they've been. Like EOTO with a Miami flair, a Beatmachines show is created in the moment and gone just as quickly.

EONS

EONS is the indie-electronic brain child of the Miami native singer/songwriter/producer Johnny Deezal. Since graduating from SAE with a degree in audio engineering, Johnny has experimented in a few different musical projects while crafting his production and songwriting skills. EONS live shows consist of a plethora of LED lights with Johnny on vocals, guitar, and keyboards and a various collective of live musicians filling in drums, bass, and other live electronic devices. EONS music is a dance floor friendly mix of indie, electro-pop, and nu-wave. Currently, EONS is putting together an EP to be released in the very near future and performing in several of South Florida's premier live music venues.

SKINNY HENDRIX

Brady Jacob, AKA Skinny Hendrix, is a DJ/Producer from Miami, Florida that is quickly turning heads in the EDM world. His fresh blend of electro, dubstep, moombah, trap, and more combined with his energetic and unfettered stage presence keeps dance floors in a frenzy all night long.
After graduating from the University of Miami with a major in Entrepreneurship, Skinny immediately focused his energy towards his passion for electronic dance music. While attending Scratch DJ Academy, his natural talent behind the turntables instantly garnered attention from his professors and colleagues. He then took to the road on a festival-hopping journey that culminated in an epic DJ set on stage at Bonnaroo. Now back in Miami, the buzz around Skinny Hendrix continues to swell each time he spins for a new crowd.

AFRO MONK

At a time when it seems like many producers and DJs are leaning more and more towards aggressive music such as brostep, Afro Monk is doing just the opposite and bringing the romance back to the dance floor with downtempo sounds and chilled-out future beats. Combining fluid melodies, sultry rhythms and hypnotic bass, Afro Monk uses lush yet cutting-edge electronic beats to create a smooth and sensual vibe.
As a beat producer, DJ, music journalist and events promoter, Afro Monk is a cornerstone of the growing electronic arts community. His wildly popular bass music blog AfroMonk.com is the source where many fans look for new sounds and insightful commentary, which can also be found in his writings for The Untz and Big Up Magazine.

GOVINDA
www.govinda.bandcamp.com<http://www.govinda.bandcamp.com/>

Govinda is the alter-ego of Austin based producer/composer Shane Madden. He began studying violin and composition at the age of eight and went on to study classical violin at the University of Texas where he fell in love with electronic music production. It was in Madden’s pursuit of his gypsy roots that he opened his ears to music from around the world. From experiences learning violin with mysterious masters on his journeys across the globe and his passion for modern design and technology, the current sound of Govinda was born.
> >> Govinda has played with Thievery Corporation, Tipper, Bassnectar, Shpongle, Cheb I Sabbah, STS9 and many more and been featured on over 25 compilations such as Buddha Bar II, Asian Travels II, and Nirvana Lounge selling a combined 400,000 copies. Govinda has played at numerous festivals throughout North America including Coachella, Lightning in a Bottle, Sea of Dreams, SXSW and more. Govinda’s music has been licensed on shows like “Roswell” WB, “Road Rules” MTV, and “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy” Bravo as well as many independent films.

The Govinda live show is truly a multi-sensory experience that features professional dancers, live projections, resonating vocals and a sonical sound-scape. His live experience is full of vibrant energy that plays to its crowd. Govinda performs on Ableton Live accompanied by classical violin. Govinda is currently touring in support of his album “Universal On Switch” which was released independently earlier this year.

His music has appeared in several video productions and documentaries including “Templayed” a visual/music production which also features Electric Skychurch.

Dez has also played Guitar and bass in several bands ranging from electro clash to World Music. He has also has a brief history as a performing VJ playing for legendary artists Infected Mushroom, Erick Morillo, Carl Cox, James Holden, Josh Wink and Pete Tong.

Wed the 29th - Bachaco gets downnnnn! At HUMPDAY at the Stage!

Bachaco
An Explosive High Energy International Groove is the language Bachaco speaks. Since its formation in 2007 the band has managed to successfully blend the Caribbean’s most globally loved Reggae, Dancehall and Ska with South America's own Caribbean legacy rhythm of Cumbia. The marriage of these elements is only possible thanks to the band's own diverse range of nationalities: Venezuelan, Jamaican-American, Colombian-Irish and Puerto Rican. Such a melting-pot allows Bachaco's creativity to flow naturall

y. Songs are written in English and Spanish interchangeably and the sounds take you on a trip deep through your own paradise, right from the dance floor.

With over 300 shows in the course of their short career, BACHACO, an indie band, has been able to capture fans of all ages and ethnicities from all over the world. The band has already toured all the way from Argentina to Northern California. Some of their hit songs include “Cumbia Pa’ La Nena”, “Jamaican Cumbia” and “Vibing”, tracks that have already been licensed to international companies like FOX and ZUMBA prior to their official release. After much work and preparation Bachaco is ready to release their first studio album, titled “Bachaco” accompanied by the video of the first single “Cumbia Pa’ La Nena”.

Bachaco was founded by Venezuelan brothers Edilberto, lead vocals and Jose Morillo , bass and vocals, along with Domingo Medina on drums, also from Venezuela, Jamaican guitarist and vocalist Matthew Jacquette and Bruce McKinnon, trumpet and vocals, half Colombian half Irish. Puerto Rican Alexander Cruz, on trombone, joined the band later in 2009.
