VISION SKY ROOM

| Switch |

If one were to compile a list of music's most in-demand producers, there's no doubt Dave 'Switch' Taylor would be near the top.

The UK producer, DJ and 'fidget house' pioneer became well-known as one half of the dynamic duo who helped propel M.I.A. to stardom by producing her albums 'Arular' and 'Kala.' Switch and Philadelphia producer/DJDiplo then struck musical gold by fusing their love of Jamaican music into the clubby dancehall project Major Lazer.

| FLosstradamus |

Flosstradamus, the oft-mentioned Chicago DJ duo comprised of J2K (Josh Young) and Autobot (Curt Cameruci) have been dominating the party scene nationwide with their tag-team DJ sets (3 turntables, 2 mixers) for just over a year and show no signs of slowing down. Known for their eclectic mix of house, R&B, electro and pretty much anything they can use to get a party started. Both established DJs in Chicago prior to their alliance as Flosstradamus, J2K and Autobot initially linked up while DJing a house party together in 2005, decided to start performing as a duo, and the rest is history. Gathering vast influences from their respective backgrounds in punk and hip-hop, Flosstradamus brought normally divided crowds together with their unique mixes of Baltimore club, hip-hop, house, obscure remixes, and juke. A monthly party soon followed (“Get Outta The Hood”) at Chicago’s Town Hall Pub, and within a year Flosstradamus turned a stagnant bar into the proverbial place-to-be, lines stretching down the block while sweaty kids crowd surf and get down inside. National press soon began to take notice, with features in URB (“Next 100 for 2006”), MTV (featured in “My Block”), and The Fader. Other recent accolades of note include 2006-2010 appearances at SXSW, CMJ, Pitchfork Festival, Pop Montreal, parties for VICE, The Fader, Jane Magazine, DKNY, URB, and Puma, not to mention performances with Clipse, Common, and Rick Ross. Although Young and Cameruci have reached far beyond the city limits for performances, they have a soft spot for Lollapalooza - Flosstradamus having spread the love for DJ'ing at three Lollapaloozas.
