DJ EZ (pronounced DJ EEE ZED) is widely - and rightly - regarded as one of the finest, most gifted DJs on the planet. The “DJ’s favourite DJ”, EZ has been a musical force of nature for over two decades, saluted by the industry for being a creative mixer with an unparalleled instinct and technical prowess - not to mention one of the quickest fingers in the trade with his trademark cue button action displays during his sets. A set of decks simply isn’t the same without DJ EZ.

Slimzos Recordings is a foundational Grime label established in 2002 by DJ Slimzee, a pioneer in the genre and co-founder of Rinse FM. Based in London, the label emerged during the early 2000s as Grime was defining its unique sound and was closely tied to the dubplate culture that emphasized new & exclusive music. The label became known for releasing pivotal tracks from artists like DJ Oddz, Wizzbit, Plasticman & Starfox. 

The label has supported established artists but also served as a platform for emerging talents, reflecting Slimzee's focus on community and innovation within the genre. Slimzee's influence on the Grime scene is monumental. He is a central figure pushing dark, bass-heavy sounds that became synonymous with Grime's identity. 

By championing fresh talent and maintaining a commitment to the underground ethos of Grime, the label continues to be a beacon of creativity & innovation. Slimzos has not only shaped the genre's history but also remains vital in its ongoing evolution, bringing it to global audiences and inspiring the next generation of artists

Based out of Baltimore, MD, Arsena is a 4 headed chimera of genre-defying influences creating a new, unique spin on its core sound of old school thrash metal. The group expands upon its musical similarity to Megadeth, Mastodon, Primus, and Havok with a haunting sense of atmosphere and melody long since lost by the genre. 

After 3 years of playing locally and on tour in the north eastern United States, Arsena released their sophomore EP “Dawn of the Second Sun” on physical and digital formats. This 4 song, genre-bending epic of dynamic soundscape gripped listeners worldwide with its dissonant riffage, blues-inspired solos, interconnected lyrical content, and catchy, melodic vocals. It has since been streamed thousands of times on multiple formats including Spotify, YouTube, and Bandcamp. After the exponential increase in fan base from the release, Arsena has returned to their home studio to begin writing and recording their upcoming full length album for the end of 2021. In the meantime, they continue to promote their work with all forms of media including photography and music videos.

Before the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, Arsena opened for large groups such as Mushroomhead, Tengger Cavalry, September Mourning, and Silvertung, and played multiple shows on the 2019 national tour of heavy metal outfit Vicious Rumors. They have rocked the stages of renowned venues such as Virginia’s Blue Fox Billiards, Baltimore’s Fish Head Cantina and Baltimore Soundstage, and Philadelphia’s The Fire, building connections and fans along the way.
Since the onslaught of the coronavirus quarantine, Arsena turned their work from the stage to their home, where they wrote and recorded their latest EP “Dawn of the Second Sun,” sent the songs to Ben McLeod of All Them Witches for mixing, and forwarded them to Mikey Allred of Dark Art Audio for mastering. The songs have been praised by Glenn Fricker of SMG Studios, the New Wave of Old School Thrash Metal YouTube channel, and Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit. The EP gained traction quickly and landed Arsena interviews with webzines such as Greece’s “Filthy Dogs of Metal” and Lithuania’s “Diovim,” providing the world with a closer look into the minds of the bands members. Currently, Arsena is coordinating with a renowned radio promotional group to submit their music to non-comm and university-funded radio stations nationwide in preparation for the release and subsequent touring of their next album.
