Both hailing from the western half of the United States, Probiotik and 4centers connected in Reno Nevada to create Love and Light. Years ago the two had thrown a few rave style parties in the outdoors of northern Nevada in the empty Black Rock Desert and Mystical Pyramid Lake. After looking outward to seek music that touched their hearts they searched inward and found music that elevated their souls. Knowing all along that producing and performing was the lifestyle they wanted to have they stumbled upon many great festivals that inspired them to become what they are today. Six months ago the two decided that combining forces and using each other to push one another was the best way to make their dreams come true. After a few good tracks had been produced, they knew they we're on the right path. Probiotik's Ghost N Stuff Remix put them on the map and 4centers' Eleanor Rigby Remixx is traveling them that map. With interests mainly in the glitch crunk mid tempo side of things, the two are learning to produce and perform at multiple tempos and different styles. Bringing high energy to the stage and elevating music through the speakers Love and Light has just begun. Now collaborating with Marty Party and a few others the duo can only imagine what the future holds.


A tasteful fusion of rare pairings has become JPOD’s trademark just as much as crispy rhythms and bold basslines. His ability to lift your spirit with rich flavors of melody and bass will undeniably loosen your entire body to dance in utter freedom. Using chunky hip-hop breakbeats and bouncy electro basslines as the foundation for organic expressions of world, reggae, folk, bluegrass and more, JPOD takes listeners on a diverse journey through styles and tempos, bridging gaps everywhere that inspiration leads. His passion and motivation has also culminated in a cutting-edge digital label called Swing Set Sounds which seeks to arm DJs not only with great music but also tools to create their own custom remixes. His debut full-length album entitled Halfsteppin dropped at the start of 2012 and remains one of the top selling releases on Addictech for the year. JPOD continues to creatively satisfy his ever-evolving tastes with fresh remixes and originals dropping at a party and festival near you!


"Words will inevitably fail to properly describe Freddy Todd. Genre-busting is an understatement. You can’t pin him down with lexicon like lazer-bass and glitch-funk; these phrases fall way short of capturing the expressiveness, fearlessness, and space-traveling qualities of his music. Hearing his music is akin to being abducted by an extra-terrestrial cruise liner where everyone is tripping on space acid. And if you are lucky enough to witness him produce, you’ll see that he fittingly looks just like the captain of said space cruiser, both hands intently gripping his electronics like the instrument panel on the flight deck. Originally based out of Detroit, Freddy Todd is truly a master of his craft not only in the studio but on stages across the globe. Without any pre-recorded sets, Freddy has the skills and the audacity to perform on the fly mixes of 100% original material tailored to his specific audience, mood, and venue each night, be it a theater in northern California, a club in the back alleys of Detroit, or an outdoor festival in the bush off the eastern coast of Australia (occasionally on special nights with his live drummer, ill.so.naj). His earth shattering, meticulously programmed beats and rhythms, his lazer crunk, funky psychedelic bass and sound design, and his brain tingling, intelligently soul-soaked synths, melodies, and field-recorded samples are sure to shake your consciousness as they blast through airwaves out of top notch sound systems across the universe."
