work with the rappers that would form the original Swisha House label, and
they released their first official album.

DJ N9NE
Texas Dub, Soular Grooves

A native Houstonian, N9NE has been spinning since 1996 when he fell in love with turntablism after watching the Invisible Skratch Piklz in an episode of Turntable TV. A graduate of the High School for the Performing and Visual Arts, N9NE has been focused on artistic expression his entire life, entering the world of entertainment at the age of 5. N9NE’s artistic reach is widespread, from visual art, to music, and to theatre. A member of the Soulargrooves crew since 2007, N9NE is part of a collective of Houston djs, brought together by Dj Sun, who host a local radio show on 90.1 KPFT every Saturday from 9:30 to Midnight and boasts a live dj mix every weekend from 11 – 12. After working on the track “Truth and Rights” released on Betamorph Records, N9NE has been working in the studio with his good friend Badbwoy BMC (Swisha House, TX DUB, and Purrin Lion) and his crew TEXAS DUB producing “bass music”, heavily labeled “dubstep”, but is in reality a sound that crosses many different genres. Formerly the Dj for Lower Life Form, N9NE still has a deep love for hip hop and scratching is definitely a predominate piece of his production. With technology and the advent of Serato, N9NE’s musical selections are expansive, ranging from dancehall/riddim/reggae, electro, deep house, dubstep, glitch hop and a musical library that covers decades. A lover of music, N9NE is just happy being able to do what he loves … share the music that he appreciates.

Royal B Facebook
Genres: Dubstep/Bass, Reggae, Jungle/DNB
Royal B began DJing drum & bass music in Houston, Texas back in 2000 under the moniker Cef. By 2002, he was running a bi-weekly drum & bass event at the legendary Underground Lounge (aka 804 Fannin). During that time he hooked up with established dnb veteran and Purrin Lion member the Badbwoy BMC (Swisha House, Texas Dub) to create the infamous reggae/jungle weekly known as Blunted Thursdays along with Purrin Lion members Steve Swift and Vitamin A in 2003 . The four came to be affectionately known as the Blunted Crew. During this time, the Pressure dnb weekly was also established by Cef & BMC, hosting such headliners of the day as DJ Lee, Concord Dawn, Evol Intent, Cyantific, and others.
In 2006, Cef left his hometown in order to complete school overseas. With annual visits he kept in touch with crewmates and booked gigs each time he visited home, becoming more and more interested in dubstep as he heard the sound developing. 4 years later, Cef returned to Houston as Royal B with a crate full of dubstep, only to leave again a short while later. This time he headed further south.
Based in Adelaide, South Australia from 2010-2011, Royal B played and promoted various shows around the city as well as co-hosted "Pleasure Thursdays" on the well known internet radio website Soundpond (http://www.soundpond.net). In addition, he held residencies as a DJ with the UniLife organization of the University of South Australia as well as the Northern Sound System youth outreach center.
Royal B recently returned to Houston and may be found out & about at a variety of shows around the city.
Chelsmosis has been an avid electronic music fan long before she started to DJ. Her deepest passion stemming from early childhood was always to be a creative artistic individual. Along attending art school at Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design for painting and sculpture; an array of music genres from Air, NIN, Depeche Mode, Portishead, Bjork, Radiohead, Ministry, Aphex Twin, Autechre, & Sigur Ros, are just a few to name that have always been a major influence on her artwork and life. Her interest in music has grown pervasive after moving back to her hometown, Houston. Immersing her-self into the electronic music scene, a new fascination with Dubstep, Drum'n'Bass, and Electro House began to take over. She states, " The structure of music has become an obsession of mine; listening becomes therapeutic and I found myself becoming conscious of patterns and sounds as an abstract form". As one of the newest members of the Texas Dub Crew many new opportunities have sprouted for her from multiple monthly bookings and as she quotes, " …the unexpected chance to express myself through a structured yet spontaneously raw performance".

Kruxx
Texas Dub,20hz
Facebook
Genres: Dubstep, Trap
Kruxx is one of the youngest people to emerge on the Texas electronic music scene. He began learning to DJ at the young age of 12 and purchased his first set of turntables when he was just 15 years old. But don't let his age fool you - this kid comes to the decks with as much energy and talent as any veteran in the game. Leaning on his deep rooted love of hip-hop, he began gathering inspiration from the likes of The Invizibl Skratch Piklz, Eric B. & Rakim, Gang Starr, KRS-1, DJ Shadow, Afrika Bambaata, and DJ Craze. He began fine-tuning his mixing abilities when he discovered Drum and Bass. It wasn't much later that he met and fell in love with Dubstep. He began spending countless hours learning the history of Dubstep and developed a deep admiration for the originating sounds of the genre, which are still prevalent in his sets today. In late 2010, local hometown hero TDBZ recognized Kruxx's talent immediately and asked him to be a part of his new Dubstep collective, 20hz. Kruxx seized the opportunity and has diligently earned his place in the Houston Dubstep movement performing alongside many National and International acts. In May of 2012, founder Badbwoy BMC approached Kruxx to join the Texas Dub family making him one of the newest editions to the crew. You can catch Kruxx around town at every Wobble Fridays and Riddim Tuesdays regularly as well as other dubstep events around Houston. When he's not out rocking crowds, he's at home rocking beats.
