UNIONELECTRONIC and SUPREME HUSTLE once again bring back the bass attack of Canada's own ZEDS DEAD to Calgary's Flames Central on February 23, with all-star support from OMAR LINX, MAT THE ALIEN and KNIGHT RIDERZ. Locals SLIM PICKENS and PUPPETMASTER round off this stellar line-up...

As two of the hardest workers in electronic music, Toronto's ZEDS DEAD have earned themselves an excellent reputation amongst a new generation of producers as artists without borders - genres hold no bearing over their music as they transcend style and form with ease. By pulling from a vast array of source material (Radiohead, The Rolling Stones, The Moody Blues, Sublime), and molding it into their unique brand of dance-floor classics, They have established themselves as a dominant force in EDM circles and have received recognition and praise from tastemakers worldwide. With a stockpile of originals and remixes set to be released in 2011, DC and Hooks show no signs of slowing down.

Fellow Toronto native OMAR LINX is a frequent ZEDS DEAD collaborator, lending his hype vocals to tracks like Rude Boy and Out For Blood. Frequently lauded for his sharp lyrical flow and content, showcased on mixes like City of Ommz, OMAR LINX is an MC who can be relied upon to always elevate his performances to a mind-bending level.

Described by Knowledge Magazine as 'awe-inspiring' & 'some next level s@$t,' MAT THE ALIEN has toured across the globe and performed for thousands around the world, from sporting events to festivals as well as pioneering club nights in Whistler & Vancouver, and held down a bi-weekly club night in Las Vegas at Eye Candy (Mandalay Bay). His scratching and genre-busting sound has also been featured in soundtracks for film, TV and video games, and his productions have constantly won favour with DJs all over.

KNIGHT RIDERZ are the future of Canada’s crunked out bass architects. Fusing melody and harmony with beats, bass, and intricate design. Their Singles have charted at the top of the beatport dubstep and glitch hop charts, while their past releases on Muti, Seclusiasis, Discobelle, ESL, True Movement, and Simplify are a testament to their range and diversity. Taking influence from genres as vast in variety as reggae, hiphop, and metal, Knight Riderz continue to break the mould and forge a new direction in bass music,
