emplate - Cleveland, Ohio

bookings: 
justtodd@gmail.com

emplate first heard the sounds of Jungle/Drum & Bass in the summer of '96 and was instantly enchanted. A drummer, and heavily influenced by hip hop, metal, industrial, classical and jazz; emplate believes drum and bass embodies everything he had been listening to and loved before it.

In '99 he knew that listening was not enough. He needed more than mixtapes and parties to get his fix. Inspired by the DJs around him and his love for DnB, he dedicated himself to seeking knowledge, selection and skill. emplate soon became respected both technically and for his sets that interweave neurofunk and darker, minimal DNB tunes that are often peppered with liquid dancefloor tracks if the mood is right.

In 2006, emplate became a resident DJ at the former weekly and nationally recognized DnB event "in:verse". Always interested in moving the scene forward, emplate helped develop The Cleveland Drum n Bass Coalition and (216)BASS, both local platforms that Northeast Ohio DnB heads used as a vehicle to further their careers. In August of 2014, emplate joined up with Rockers Music. Excited about having a DnB label out of Cleveland, emplate spearheaded the local launch of the Rockers 175 label with the “Step Inside” & "Kismet" monthly events held at the Beachland Ballroom, bringing in names such as: Lenzman, Doc Scott, Total Science, Zero T, The Prototypes, Crissy Criss, DJ SS, Aphrodite, Dara, AK1200, Dieselboy & more. After stepping away from the label & the turbulent life of event promotions, he focused on being the best DJ he could be...taking his mixing to new levels & determined to prove that he's underrated, not only in his hometown & state, but the U.S. as a whole.

For two decades, emplate has been known for his diverse selection of up to date releases, promos & unreleased tracks & plays accordingly to timeslot, crowd & vibe.

Mr. Zodiac - Producer & DJ

Mr. Zodiac (known as DJ Zodiac back in the day) started his journey at around 9 years old, making his first “mix tape” with a double cassette deck and a CD player. By 12, he was organizing parties in the basement, and by 15, he was already playing in actual venues. In the 90s, he mainly played Techno and Trance—and yes, you can still book DJ Zodiac for an epic 90’s Retro set!

Toward the end of that decade, he discovered the raw energy of Jungle and Drum & Bass. Since then, he's been hooked on breakbeats, bass-heavy, soulful, and funky tracks. Over the years, Mr. Zodiac has released music on labels such as Offworld Recordings, Conquest Recordings, Liquid Drops, Liquid Flavours, FunkStuff Rec, and Connessione Rec. Check out his latest releases on his Bandcamp: mrzodiac.bandcamp.com.

"As an independent artist, my family and I put our heart and soul into everything we create—from each beat to the artwork, and in every connection with you. Together, we handle every detail ourselves, from making the music to managing promotion and socials. Every single purchase isn’t just a boost to our creative journey; it’s a meaningful support for my family and our dreams. Thank you for being part of this ride. Much love and respect to you all!"

In addition to producing, Mr. Zodiac also hosts radio shows and live streams on platforms like Twitch, Mixcloud, JuiceDnB, DnBradio, Bassdrive, BHOTradio, Local Radio F1, YouTube, and more...

Liquid drum & bass stalwart Fluid Form hails from the sun-kissed beaches and emerald waters in the panhandle of Florida, USA. Both as a producer and DJ, he is heavily influenced by the atmospheric, jazzy, funky, soulful and deep side of dnb, especially the electronic sounds of the late 90s, early 2000’s and 2010’s.

Fluid Form draws inspiration from past, present and future soundscapes, crafting his compositions from a unique pallate of samples, sonic layers, and atmospheric textures. He weaves flavors from many musical styles with crisp layered drum breaks and rolling basslines to showcase his signature soul-fueled beats. Climbing through the ranks and continuing to hone his production skills, he has established himself on some of the scenes freshest imprints and has solidified his presence in the underground dnb movement.

Fluid Form continues to gain global support through his original works, his bootlegs, and his collaborations. He is now releasing alongside many of the same artists and labels who have inspired him over the years and is getting the nod from some of the scenes most prolific producers and DJs.
