ALL GOOD FUNK ALLIANCE
Fort Knox Recordings | Alexandria, VA
When it comes to All Good Funk Alliance, always expect the unexpected. This spring AGFA is set to drop a new album with Fort Knox Recordings—a genre-spanning release featuring go-go drums, spaced-out synths and funky bass-lines. It marks a new direction and is somewhat of a departure from their signature sound, but fans needn't stress—this is one duo that never leaves the funk behind.
Made up of Frank Cueto and Rusty Belicek, All Good Funk Alliance is recognized as influential pioneers of the Nu-Funk and mid-tempo breaks sounds, AGFA's innovation and originality has earned them universal respect across the breaks industry. Now, poised to unleash a fresh new album brimming with unreleased music that encompasses multiple genres, All Good Funk Alliance is ready to kick off the latest chapter in their book of funk. And while their musical tastes range the gamut, when Frank and Rusty join forces the end result is always the same: they deliver a sound that is funky, fun and fresh.

SISTINE CRIMINALS
Brooklyn, NY
Sistine Criminals was founded in Boston by saxophonist Aaron Burnett and drummer Greg Sgrulloni. They relocated to New York City, finding inspiration in Brooklyn’s underground scene, where they met Wylie Wynshaw, who incorporates textures and melodies fueled by his mastery of the electric guitar, and Nick Jozwiak, who contributes powerful, fast moving bass energy. All rigorously trained, the members infuse modern electronic dance genres, such as drum n bass, house, dubstep, IDM and hip hop, with the creative and intellectual influences of jazz and classical music. They strive to emulate the intensity of a DJ while drawing on the chemistry that can only happen among a live group of musicians.
Sistine Criminals is notorious for their exhilarating rhythms played by drummer-extraordinaire Greg Sgrullioni (aka "Torch"). He rips through a framework of reverse-engineered live electro-acoustic dance music, which has been blogged as “high art in your face!”

TEKTITE
Vitamin B | Brooklyn, NY
Tektite got his start in the 90’s (UK) Hardcore, and quickly became an addicted to the hoover synths, old school stabs, and choppy breaks. Fast forward to 2013, and he is still searching for records that carry that old school sound while rounding out his repertoire with the massive warbled bass of electro-house, booty bounce of Baltimore Club, and full-volume funk of the UK breakbeat sound. Tektite is also co-founder and resident of the Brooklyn based breakbeat and electro party Vitamin B, where occasionally you can still hear him return to his roots with an early 90’s breakbeat hardcore or Drum n Bass set.

LOU E BAGELS
The Good Vibe LA | Dirty Beetles | Los Angeles, CA
Lou E. Bagels (also known as Brian Crain, BC or just simply Bagels) has had an amazing journey with an incredible soundtrack to guide his way...from early memories of country music and oldies in his parents station wagon to classic rock in his pot smoking uncle’s basement to MTV, glam hair bands and metal blaring from his speakers, then shifting into the golden era of hip-hop in his hometown St. Louis scene. He was an emcee of Fat Trash and had the pleasure of playing with The Sugarhill Gang, The Pharcyde, De La Soul, Nelly and countless other touring national acts both rap and rock.
Eventually, Bagels headed to Arizona to work in music production when he was offered a dj gig at a friend’s bar, thus finding his true love. A twist of fate sent him to Los Angeles where ‘Lou E Bagels’ started rocking the west coast, melding in electronic music sparked from his wild adventures at Burning Man. Although he’s comfortable playing all kinds of music, these days it mostly bass heavy funky electro breaks. A true selector extraordinaire, Bagels is not afraid to use any or all of the music he’s collected on his journey to make you move.
