Level13, Dirty Bus & PanOptic
presents

CYPHER & HOPKINS

featuring
CYPHER
(PanOptic / CYPHER TRIBE)
Trance / Progressive / Techno
The tale of Cypher’s love affair with music, and the midwest’s subsequent romance with him, is one of the critical veins in the body of dance music for his local scene. He is every dancer’s secret discovery; a reluctant night out that unexpectedly turned magic. His success came not behind a major label release, or a world tour, or a radio hit remix: It happened when enough people had the private Cypher experience for themselves in an old dusty warehouse or abandoned skating rink during the wee hours of the morning.

This is evident by the mass of “Cypher Supporters” you will find scattered all over the Midwest. In dance music circles, Cypher’s name conjures fond memories of unforgettable gigs at destinations throughout the Midwest. What punctuates Cypher’s skills as a DJ is his capacity to not only incorporate diverse genres and styles, but to transcend them by infusing his music with pure emotion. Cypher’s talent is matched only by his passion, which has seen him become one of the true DJ’s that stay true to the art.

If you ask him, it was a question of right time, right place. Talented yes; opportunistic, definitely — and just a little bit lucky.

Humble beginnings is what you will find if you dig behind the scenes in the early parts of his career. Starting his own mobile DJ service as a freshman in High school in 1989 was the start of this musical journey that brings him to where he is today. It wasn’t until he moved to Chicago in the late 90′s that he would do dive into the world of electronic music as a performer. Frequenting the Crobar nightclub in downtown Chicago , Scott knew that this was what he was missing. “The energy was unmatched and the people were passionate about the music like nothing I had ever seen before.” He took the hard driving club sounds and put his own spin on things when he moved back to St. Louis in 1998.

Known in the late 90′s for his hard bangin UK Acid House sets in the underground scene, Scott now pushes the boundaries of the best in progressive techno and house music. His style is limitless with an enormous bound of continuous energy that can’t be matched. It’s Dance Music, with a lot of different twists. Depending on the situation at hand, his sets range from ethereal feeling house , to dark driving poppy/proggy techno. Nothings ever set or the same when he’s on the decks, the music is always freshly delivered.

Moving into the studio doing his own production, is now what drives Cypher once again to recreate those memorable times from his past. “There would be nothing like seeing another DJ drop one of my original tracks that would drive the dance-floor into a frenzy! This circle of life and music is what it’s all about – Evolving as a person as well as a performer.” Cypher remains incredibly humble and grateful to be in pursuit of his passion.

JEFF HOPKINS
(Dirty Bus / Level13 / Breakfast Club)
Progressive / Electro
Jeff Hopkins from St. Louis, Missouri was introduced to the electronic music scene in 1990 when he became a regular at 1227, a club which was located on Washington Ave. in St. Louis, MO. His passion for electronic music continued to grow through the nineties and into the millennium. In 2000 he started throwing parties in his home and on the 23rd floor of the Laclede Gas building in downtown St. Louis. These were historic parties that club goers will never forget. Positive reinforcement and a magnetic influence was all it took for Jeff to purchase his first DJ equipment in 2001. It was DJ’ing where Jeff found his true passion and began expressing himself in a profound way. He was able to learn the basics by watching local and national DJ’s work their magic in the booth. Many local and national DJ’s introduced Jeff to deep, dark house, the roots of Jeff’s ever growing style. Within a year, Jeff earned residencies at two of St. Louis’ top clubs. Velocity Promotional Group picked up Jeff in 2002 and then he went on to work with La La Land Entertainment before venturing out on his own in 2004.
To date DJ Jeff Hopkins has had many successful residencies including The Living Room, Velvet, The Havanah Lounge, Novaks, Faces, Martini Room, Rue 13, The Drunken Fish, Sub Zero, Dantes, Kyo, Mollys, Ten14, Xes, Level13, Throttle, The OZ as well as hundreds of local and out of state parties. In 2004 Jeff was the featured DJ on “The Electric X”, a live radio show on 94x in Memphis, TN. In 2005 Jeff was honored with an invitation to open for Oscar G at Velvet on the club’s last open night after a highly successful 10 year run. Jeff Hopkins style has often been compared to DJ’s Steve Lawler, D:Fuse, Thickdick, and Oscar G, who have all been influential in Jeff’s music career. His unique style of dirty filthy , electro, tribal, progressive & Tech house continues to evolve. His live energetic sets always captivate the crowds no matter where he is playing!!

From the time that she purchased her first pair of turntables in 2001, DJ Kid Delicious has been steadily rising to the top of club life. Her Delicious fusion of Tribal Beats and Dirty Techy Basslines has earned her residencies at many clubs and lounges throughout the United States.

Kid has experience playing in a wide variety of venues, including a two year residency at the world famous “Velvet” in St. Louis, MO. Her ability to ignite a dance floor has earned her the opportunity to play at events with artists such as Fergie, Nigel Richards, Oscar G, DJ Irene, Freaky Flow, Dave Aude, Seb Fontaine and Crystal Method. She also had the opportunity to perform amongst the world’s top DJs at the annual Ultra Music Festival in Miami, Florida.

This is Santiago & Bushido (Chicago)

With their innovative hard hitting beats and unique party rocking live show the dj and production duo known as Santiago & Bushido are one one of the most exciting and well respected artists in electronic music today. Their tracks have repeatedly topped international sales charts (Make Me Feel – #1 Beatport Electro, Can’t Be Wron…g – #1 Beatport Electro, Head Trick – # 1 Beatport All Genres & # 8 most downloaded track of the year) and have received chart action by the likes of David Guetta, Tiesto, Moby, and Diplo. “Head Trick” was one of the true dance anthems of 2008, a major crossover success becoming one of the most downloaded dance tracks of the year and receiving major play all across the globe. S&B followed the success of Head Trick with a number of critically acclaimed releases and remixes including a massive remix of Kaskade’s No. 1 Billboard hit single “Move For Me”, a reworking of Larry Tee’s “Louis Vuitton,” and their original single “Make Me Feel” which quickly became one of the summer anthems of 2009 with its chugging tech groove and sultry vocal hooks.

Since teaming up in 2003 Chris Santiago and Tim Bush have continually dropped EPs and remixes on some of the hottest labels around including Dim Mak, Cajual, Ultra, and have generated a significant following in the process. During this time they have collaborated with some of the most well respected names in the game such as Om recording artist Colette and House music legend Green Velvet. Chris and Tim have worked with Colette on a number of projects including their hit single “Make Me Feel” as well as their epic remix of a Chuck Love’s ‘U R Everything’ which was featured in Tiesto’s March 2010 “Club Life’ international radio show. They also worked with Colette on her artist album “Push” for which they wrote and produced multiple songs including the album’s single, “If,” which was licensed for an episode of Real World for “MTV” and can also be purchased as a ring tone from Verizon. February 2011 saw the release of “Give Something” on Potty Mouth Records, the long awaited follow up to Make Me Feel which again features the vocals of Colette over S&B’s party rocking beats. As of late Santiago & Bushido have been working closely with Curtis Jones aka Green Velvet and his with legendary record labels Cajual and Relief Records. They released their first single with Green Velvet titled “Turn It UP “in early 2010 which was accompanied by a mind bending video featuring Green Velvet and S&B as disco invaders from outer space. The track quickly created a massive buzz receiving major radio play and support from all the usual suspects such as A-trak, Laidback Luke, and Afrojack among others. S&B have since released numerous remixes for Cajual including reworkings of La La Land and Harmageddon, and are poised to drop an original EP featuring vocal from Green Velvet on Relief Records in the spring of 2011.

As DJs Santiago & Bushido continue to draw influence from their Chicago house background while applying harder and heavier elements to their sound. Their unique live show features a dj set mixed with a live pa showcasing upfront tracks and a variety of originals re-edited and mashed together on the fly. Rather then stick to the traditional dj format Chris and Tim incorporate elements of their studio into their live show allowing them to create original crowd rocking sets by breaking down and building up their tracks in new and exciting ways. S&B are regularly headlining and appearing at some of the best parties in the US and beyond including Avalon (LA), Decibel Festival (Seattle), Bed (Miami), and Roots Society (Burning Man Festival). Recent shows have them playing alongside some of the hottest talent around today such as Deadmau5, Crookers, and Kaskade. Recent dates included a multi-city tour in Australia, multiple trips to Europe, and regular gigs throughout North America and Latin America.

Jeff Hopkins

Come be a part of our 2 year anniversary of the best EDM night in STL (Level13) at the longest running club in STL (Rue 13)!! I promise this will be a night of surprises and insanity that will jolt your brain with mindblender after mindblender!

Cypher, T.Lectual and Dienda will provide the soundtrack for the night while act after act entertain and titillate your visual senses!!

CYPHER
PanOptic
Progressive/Techno

The tale of Cypher’s love affair with music, and the midwest’s subsequent romance with him, is one of the critical veins in the body of dance music for his local scene. He is every dancer’s secret discovery; a reluctant night out that unexpectedly turned magic. His success came not behind a major label release, or a world tour, or a radio hit remix: It happened when enough people had the private Cypher experience for themselves in an old dusty warehouse or abandoned skating rink during the wee hours of the morning.

This is evident by the mass of “Cypher Supporters” you will find scattered all over the Midwest. In dance music circles, Cypher’s name conjures fond memories of unforgettable gigs at destinations throughout the Midwest. What punctuates Cypher’s skills as a DJ is his capacity to not only incorporate diverse genres and styles, but to transcend them by infusing his music with pure emotion. Cypher’s talent is matched only by his passion, which has seen him become one of the true Dj’s that stay true to the art.

If you ask him, it was a question of right time, right place. Talented yes; opportunistic, definitely — and just a little bit lucky.

Humble beginnings is what you will find if you dig behind the scenes in the early parts of his career. Starting his own mobil dj service as a freshman in High school in 1989 was the start of this musical journey that brings him to where he is today. It wasnt until he moved to Chicago in the late 90′s that he would do dive into the world of electronic music as a performer. Frequenting the Crobar nightclub in downtown Chicago , Scott knew that this was what he was missing. “The energy was unmatched and the people were passionate about the music like nothing I had ever seen before.” He took the hard driving club sounds and put his own spin on things when he moved back to St. Louis in 1998.

Known in the late 90′s for his hard bangin UK Acid House sets in the underground scene, Scott now pushes the boundaries of the best in progressive techno and house music. His style is limitless with an enormous bound of continuous energy that can’t be matched. It’s Dance Music, with a lot of different twists. Depending on the situation at hand, his sets range from ethereal feeling house , to dark driving poppy/proggy techno. Nothings ever set or the same when he’s on the decks, the music is always freshly delivered.

Moving into the studio doing his own production, is now what drives Cypher once again to recreate those memorable times from his past. “There would be nothing like seeing another Dj drop one of my original tracks that would drive the dance-floor into a frenzy! This circle of life and music is what it’s all about – Evolving as a person as well as a performer.” Cypher remains incredibly humble and grateful to be in pursuit of his passion.
