How do you celebrate two years of gifted freaks, broken beats and delectable treats? You take the label head of SoundTrax Records, a mind blowing trio playing an eclectic mix of jungle jazz dub, some local dubstep and triphop, and of course, a heavy dose of hometown weirdoes, mix them all together and let them have the run of Neumos for a night.

There will be music by Big Bud from Good Looking and Soundtrax Records (UK) plus the launch of AriSawkaDorias new album. AriSawkaDoria features Ari from Swampdweller, Kevin from KJ Sawka and Joe from Sheriks ST7. And watch out for PURE Cirkus, theyll be everywhere so it will be hard to miss them.

Big Bud (Good Looking Records, Soundtrax Records, Super8Sound UK) is a music producer, DJ and boss of SOUNdTRAX RECORDS. Since his first release in 1994 he has been writing and producing his own music. He has released over 100 tracks including 4 albums, Infinty + Infinity in 1999, followed up with a double album in 2001, Late Night Blues. 2002 saw the release of a ' producer ' album on GLO; fast forward to 2005 and the release of another double album, Fear of Flying. From his first release up to his latest he has consistently produced soulful and emotional dance music to critical acclaim. Having released tracks on various labels including Creative Source, Nuphonic, Moving Shadow, ParadoxMusic, Basswerk Vibez and Good Looking Records he now runs two labels together with partner DJ.Element. They are Soundtrax Records and Super8Sound. The Big Bud sound has been influenced by over 25 years of listening to Jazz, funk, Soul and Reggae. It was after hearing the emergence of tracks with breakbeats that he decided to get involved in producing... After finishing his first tunes he took them up to seminal dnb club, Speed. The result was a 3 year stint with Creative Source. The next stop was Good Looking Records where he spent 5 years producing a steady stream of drum and bass and downtempo cuts. After parting company with them he spent two years in the studio stockpiling tracks ready for release when the time was right. During that time he met DJ Element and was invited to join him in running Soundtrax. To date they have released 17 singles and two albums, FEAR OF FLYING and SOUNdTRAX4LIFE vol.1. Bud has traveled the world playing his brand of d'n'b. Countries visited so far... Hungary, Serbia, Russia, Australia, New Zealand, Belize, Mexico, Holland, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Romania, USA and Germany. Bud is busy spreading the SOUNdTRAX vibe and representing the music that he has spent more than a decade being involved with.... http://www.soundtraxrecords.com

Pure Cirkus was born in 2003 as a Seattle-based body art theatre group called P.U.R.E. (People Undergoing Real Experiences). For two years the group performed only within the small community of body modification and suspension, keeping to nightclubs and private events. In the summer of 2005, as they began combining both circus talents and body modification, the group realized that they had something far larger then they had ever imagined. On Oct 28th 2005, almost overnight, the group called P.U.R.E was transformed into PURE Cirkus and performed for the first time under their new name. By pulling together talented performers from all over the country they push the limits of the human mind and body by combining circus performance with Tribal theatre. They have embraced all forms of entertainers such as jugglers, clowns, sideshow freaks, fire, suspension and piercing enthusiasts, dancers, acrobats, aerialists, musicians and other circus and cabaret artists that have come together to build what will be a lasting circus that will entertain people for generations. http://www.purecirkus.com

AriSawkaDoria with KJ Sawka (CD RELEASE - Wax Orchard) was brought together on the bandstand a little over a year ago by legendary Santana drummer Michael Shrieve in Seattle, Washington. Composed of Drum n Bass pioneer Kevin Sawka (you may know from Siamese), young guitar virtuoso Ari Joshua Zucker (from NYC and Seattle), and Hammond B3 purist Joe Doria (the driving force behind Skerik's Syncopated Taint Septet), ASD are sure to impress aficionados of every genre. http://www.myspace.com/arisawkadoria
