FUNKDOOBIEST http://www.myspace.com/funksondoobie
Funkdoobiest - as their name made clear, specialized in a stoner-friendly brand
of Latin hip-hop that often recalled their mentors. The group was formed in
Los Angeles in 1992 by Puerto Rican emcee Son Doobie, Sioux emcee Tomahawk Funk,
and deejay Ralph M. (who'd previously worked with Kid Frost). The trio became
part of the Soul Assassins crew, along with Cypress Hill and House of Pain,
and landed a deal with Epic in 1993. Funkdoobiest performed at The Bomb Hip-Hop
Tour in San Francisco in February 2003. DJ Muggs produced their debut album,
Which Doobie U B?, which was released in May of 2003 and went gold on
the strength of singles like "Bow Wow Wow," "The Funkiest,"
and "Freak Mode." Now established as cult favorites, Funkdoobiest
returned in 1995 with Brothas Doobie, which produced a couple more underground
hits in "Rock On" and "Dedicated." Following Brothas
Doobie, Tomahawk Funk left the group to raise his family. Funkdoobiest reconvened
as a duo, switched to RCA subsidiary Buzz Tone, and recorded their third album,
1998's The Troubleshooters. In 2003 Son Doobie released the solo album
Funk Superhero and then in 2004 Doobie Deluxe, both on Battle
Axe Records. 14 years after their debut in San Francisco, Funkdoobiest return
to perform at a Bomb party! Listen to the new Funkdoobiest song "Hip Hop

MOTION MAN http://www.myspace.com/motionman
Although Motion Man has appeared on dozens of other established rapper's songs,
Pablito's Way marks Motion's second full-length solo album. Kutmasta
Kurt's signature production sound showcases Motion's distinct, animated voice
and offbeat flow on Pablito's Way. The album also features guest artists Too
Short, Mistah Fab, Fat Hed & LC, Dizzy Dustin from Ugly Ducking, Gift of
Gab from Blackalicious, DJ Q-Bert, and the legendary Kool Keith. To people in
the know, Motion Man is a hip-hop veteran. For those who aren't familiar with
Motion, they will be impressed by his notable resume. He's been rapping since
the late 80's, in the early 90's Motion's freestyles filled the airwaves on
"The Wake Up Show" with Sway and King Tech. Along the way he has collaborated
with Busta Rhymes, E-40, Kool Keith and Biz Markie, among others. In fact, Motion's
best known work has been as a guest emcee on projects like DJ Vadim's "The
Terrorist" and Linkin Park's "In The End."
SABAC RED http://www.myspace.com/sabac1
In 1995 Sabac hooked up with Ill Bill and there begin the relationship of what
is now the legacy of Non-Phixion. Non Phixion is Ill Bill, Sabac Red, Goretex
and DJ Eclipse. After 2 years signed to Geffen Records yielded nothing, Non
Phixion continued releasing music independently and began touring the world
on their own. They've performed in all of NYC's major venues and have done shows
all over the US and the world. Some of the groups they have shared the stage
with include Gangstarr, Run DMC, Wu Tang Clan, Rage Against The Machine, Mos
Def, Ludacris, Blackmoon, Pharaoh Monch, Big Pun and Fat Joe, Cypress Hill,
Necro, The Beatnuts, Jurassic 5, Jedi Mind Tricks, Dead Prez, Hieroglyphics
& the Roots. Non Phixion have earned themselves a dedicated fan base across
the United States, Europe and Japan. Sabac is currently working on his next
solo CD/DVD titled The Ritual, as well as writing and recording for the
next Non Phixion album The Nuclear Truth, and The Secret Society (Non
Phixion and Necro). When not touring Sabac does public speaking engagements,
guest appearances, and conducts workshops for teens in his new hometown of Oakland
California.
UNIFIED SCHOOL DISRICT http://www.myspace.com/unifiedschooldistrict
The explosive two-man army known as Unified School District hails from Oakland,
CA. Comprised of dj/producer Ecto One and mc Super Ugly this powerhouse duo
has been recording and making music together since 2000. Blending the old school
with their treacherous, no holds barrred, gritty style has gained them a dedicated
fan base who's ears bleed for that USD style throughout the Bay Area and across
the country. A master conductor to the Technics 1200's and a monster of the
MPC, DJ Ecto One uses these skills and strong musical background to bring forth
undying love for the blues, jazz and rock through his production. Ecto One has
produced tracks for hip-hop heavyweights such as Pep Love (Hieroglyphics), and
Sabac Red (Non Phixion), however his pounding sound is complimented best with
the raw talent of his partner emcee Super Ugly. Butchering the beats with his
cut-throat vocals and raw raps, Super Uglys union with Ecto One is nothing short
of explosive. The two have been compared to great duos such as Gangstarr and
the infamous Pete Rock and CL Smooth.
THE LOYALISTS http://www.myspace.com/theloyalists
The Loyalists have emerged onto the scene from Burlington VT and now claim San
Francisco as their base of operations. They prove the old saying to once again
be true; It aint where you’re from, it's where you’re at. Framework,
E-Train and TouchPhonics make up this unique trio. Framework and E-Train made
hip-hop music together from an early age, but it was in 2001 that the three
came together as a group. They started off as a turntablist crew, but it wasnt
long before realizing that they possess all of the needed tools to form a dynamic
hip-hop group. They have shared a stage with artists like Jedi Mind Tricks,
Wordsworth, Mr. Lif, Akrobatik, Pharcyde, KRS-One and others. Check for their
debut album Moodswing, as well as their new album Get What You Give.

The Gavin Report (1958-2002)
The Gavin Report was the nation's primary radio industry trade publication, providing
the offical radio airplay charts for each music genre. It was used as a programming
aid by radio stations and record companies. The Gavin Seminars started in 1986
in San Francisco, the city where the Gavin offices were located. Radio programmers
and record company promotion executives would gather for the convention during
the day and hit the clubs at night to see acts that record labels brought to the
Bay Area. In '93 and '94 The Bomb Hip-Hop Magazine hosted stellar nights during
the Gavin Seminar…
