CRYSTAL METHOD BIOGRAPHY:
L.A.'s Crystal Method have been referred to as America's answer to the Chemical Brothers. A dance-based electronic duo with a definite rock band feel, the comparison would seem appropriate, although it tends to erase what makes the group distinct: a solid base in American hip-hop, rock, soul, and pop. Formed in 1993 by Ken Jordan and Scott Kirkland, Crystal Method is the most recent stop in a string of projects that led them from their native Las Vegas (and some forgettable four-track stabs at vocal house music), to the early-'90s L.A. rave scene. Drawn in by its youthful idealism, Jordan and Kirkland became absorbed by L.A.'s underground club culture and began knocking out tracks inspired by their experiences. On the strength of one of their demos, Crystal Method signed to Steve Melrose and Justin King's City of Angels imprint in 1994, and their debut single, "Keep Hope Alive," appeared soon after. The title was in reference to L.A.'s waning rave scene (burdened by constant police pressure and a string of random violent incidents) and became something of an anthem due to the endless barrage of remixes and alternate versions that appeared. The pair's demand to be taken seriously as a band (as opposed to the enforced anonymity of most techno acts, and something of a new concept for American dance producers) extended to incessant live performances, and Crystal Method's increasing popularity both in the clubs and among radio jocks led to a deal with Geffen affiliate Outpost Recordings in 1996. The group's debut LP, Vegas -- an unabashed party record bathed in acid, funk, rock, and big beat hip-hop -- appeared in mid-1997.

JAMES WILLIAMS BIOGRAPHY:
Chosen by voters in the SCION and Beatport sponsored B.E.A.T. (Breakthru Emerging Artists Tour) as San Francisco's #1 DJ for 2007, James Williams has proven himself to be a rising star in the industry of electronic dance music. James has been deejaying since 2000, having played in his hometown of San Francisco, Las Vegas and Miami among many other destinations. He co-founded HotTrance in 2001 and Global Soundwave in 2004. Thanks to James' efforts, HotTrance quickly grew to over 25,000 subscribers and provides forums, a large EDM music archive and internet streaming music 24-hours a day, 7 days a week. Not to be overshadowed by HotTrance, Global Soundwave's weekly mixes has featured top DJ talent from around the world broadcasting via satellite to hundreds of FM stations across Australia and on ETN.FM a well known online dance station.

James Williams has played alongside many world reknown DJs including: Ferry Corsten, BT, Blank & Jones, Second Sun, Alex M.O.R.P.H., DJ Irene and Dave Ralph to name a few. Named by Blank & Jones in a recent DJ Mag interview as Up and Coming DJ for 2008, James has been heard spinning across the Eastern United States seaboard on Clear Channel's KISS FM 95.7. When he is not performing James can be found deep in creative thought working on new productions and remixes to share with and inspire those in the EDM community.
