Bios for the guest DJs at tonight's Backbar event:
Rogers is an original D.C. junglist. He has held residencies at Epidemic and the legendary Act Your Age. He was also the head drum'n' bass DJ instructor at Metatrack Studios in DC and has written for junglist.com and Outerloop Paper. He was a founding member of Catalyst_dc in 1998, and his DJ gigs have seen him play coast to coast alongside the top names in d'n'b at the most respected d'n'b nights in D.C. and abroad. This year he is back and refreshed after a 7-year hiatus focusing his attention on d'n'b production, now getting back on the decks where he truly belongs. Welcome the return of the Rogers!
Classic Ice began collecting and DJing jungle/d'n'b records in 1994. Since then, he has branched out, spinning other types of music (including metal, hardcore punk, and thrash) plus the ever-popular "eclectic" sets. He possesses one of the most comprehensive jungle/ drum'n'bass record collections in the D.C. area. For the last several years, he has been operating on the periphery of the scene, being sure to change DJ names periodically. Classic Ice is now back on the grind and working in the recording studio with the likes of Rogers and DJ Stress as well as hitting the decks all over D.C.
