What:
World Famous Productions presents Heyoka, R/D and Noah D!
**
Heyoka
**
Heyoka AKA Andrei Olenev is a cosmic auditory scientist found in the Bay Area noosphere, who has been blowing minds with his sonic manipulations. Muti Music first released Heyoka’s “Space Case EP” in 2008 and included him on their growing roster of talented artists. His albums ‘Whomp Gland & Pineal Dub’, ‘Gate Code’ and the all new ‘Marklar’ album in 2010 have shown that he is a producer consistently evolving his musical style while managing to maintain a signature sound that is distinctively ‘Heyoka’. His early influences in Downtempo, Dub and IDM combined with midtempo dancefloor genres have helped create a very unique sound that combines relentless basslines, hip hop rhythms, dub vibes, and musicality and melody, all within an atmosphere of heavy psychedelia and alien dimensions.The response to his emergence so far has been overwhelming with Heyoka developing audiences and playing festivals from US to Canada and Australia. For a mind bending experience in dub inspired Glitch Hop, keep your ear to the ground for Heyoka playing a city or festival near you.
R/D
R/D is the musical creation of R.D. White, an LA-based electronic music producer and performer. Known for mixing crushing breaks with swirling indie rock melodies, R/D is part of a new generation of producers melding electro-hop and indie rock. In addition to producing, R/D performs dynamic live sets as a musician, playing keyboards and controllers in real time to create the epic melodies, sweeping builds, catchy hooks, and massive drops that define his sound. R/D gained widespread notoriety with his 2010 remix of Fever Ray’s ‘I’m Not Done’ – which reached #2 on Hype Machine with an unprecedented 27,000 listens in just 3 days. The title track from his ‘Face Of God EP’ again landed him in the top 3 on Hype Machine’s Twitter charts. His official remix of The Glitch Mob’s ‘Starve the Ego, Feed the Soul’ is the #1 download from the entire 2 volume remix compilation series ‘Drink The Sea Remixes′. His recent success has landed R/D prime-time evening slots at Coachella 2010 & 2011. He has shared bills with Flying Lotus, Pretty Lights, Bassnectar, The Glitch Mob, Les Claypool, Cocoe Rosie, Caspa, Mala, Beats Antique, Mim0sa, and MartyParty to name a few. Currently, R/D is touring nationally to promote his new full-length album entitled ‘Liquid Heart Keeper’ and gearing up for a summer tour with The Glitch Mob.

Noah D
**
Noah D is without doubt one of the top Dubstep producers hailing from the USA. He has been building his reputation in both the Dubstep and Drum n Bass circles since 2003 and is highly regarded on both sides of the Atlantic for his musical output. His tune, “Seeeriousss” has torn up every dancefloor on every corner of the world and became a full fledged Dubstep anthem in 2009 and is still being rinsed on most dancefloors. His music has received consistent radio play on many of the UK’s biggest radio stations including RinseFM, Kiss, BBC’s radio1 and 1xtra and has been supported worldwide by DJ’s from different areas of the electronic music such as Skream, N-Type, Plastician, DJ Hype, Dieselboy, Bassnectar, Glitch Mob, Gaslamp Killer and Freq Nasty just to name a few! On the decks Noah D comes equipped with exclusives from many of world’s finest producers and his own originals, while always bringing a taste of diversity and intensity mixed in a carefully crafted style that is guaranteed to create a memorable experience.
