DJ Eshin first began DJing in 2000 by spreading hip-hop beats to house parties in the New York City area. Although he first delved into electronic music in 1996, Eshin did not start experimenting with Drum & Bass in his DJ sets until 2002 and hasn't looked back since then. Eshin made a big splash in 2004 by launching the eclectic Wednesday night weekly No Jacket Required in NYC with DJ/promoting partner Doctor Faustus. While the weekly finished its run a year after its launch, No Jacket Required continued as a NYC monthly event, bringing in prominent DnB talent from around the world, as well as NYC's finest. Today, Eshin is a fixture in the U.S. drum & bass circuit and is currently collaborating with Direct Drive, which has been a staple in the NYC dance scene for the past 9 years, and had worked with DB's monthly soulful DnB event The Secret Night of Science previously. Along with DJ/Producer Trigon, he also co-hosts NYC's premiere DnB/Dubstep radio show Outside the Cube, which can be heard on prominent UK station Bassjunkees Radio. Spanning from melodic and dubby sounds to tech-step and jump-up, Eshin showcases the ability to explore multiple styles in his sets. Eshin has played alongside international talent including Goldie, Total Science, Marcus Intalex, Pendulum, Sub Focus, Chase & Status, Klute, London Elektricity, Logistics, and Digital, among many others.

Jack McDevitt [Volume - RI] pirate.viking.gorilla.techno
When you first heard house music and embraced it into your life is a defined moment. For a DJ it changes your life. For Jack McDevitt it turned him from the big goofy kid skipping his feet on the floor, to the DJ he is today. Developing his taste on the favorites at the time that would go through New York. Sasha, Digweed, Carl Cox, & Tenaglia to just name a few. He wanted what they had. Not the fame. The control. The ability to control the emotions of anyone within range.
Over the last decade Jack McDevitt has been a staple in the Northeast and beyond. Whether it was the big rooms of NYC, the lounges of Boston, or the mountains in Maine he has been there, playing a sound his own. Not one to follow the leader, carving his own niché. Whether you meet or hear Jack McDevitt you will not soon forget it.
