The Omega Moos
Collaborations are a tricky thing. Especially when the participating players are fans of one another’s music. The Omega Moos are not an exception to this rule. Both The New Deal and Umphrey’s McGee have followed each other’s careers with much interest, but not until this fall did anyone suspect such a mash-up of genres, corralled into the highly volatile ring of improvised music. But it happened. And what was created was a perfect marriage of the fundamental sensibilities present in each band: Proficient melodic wankery and rump-shaking bombastic simplicity. Put together, it makes an amazing layering of approaches and dynamics. Kind of like a prog-rock remix, or possibly what Genesis would sound like if produced by DJ Tiesto. It takes the sounds of Jamie Shields and Darren Shearer and elevates it’s rock-ness, while adding a ruckus, breakbeat feel to the signature sounds of Brendan Bayliss and Ryan Stasik. Needless to say, all frequencies are covered, and there ain’t no one in the room standing still.

Wyllys
After receiving his first set of turntables from his best friend Alan Veniscovsky in 1997, Wyllys set out on a path dominated by Drum and Bass and Jungle. Once he saw more and more Phish shows, his path seemed to split wide open. Phish’s multi-genre approach to live music and improvisation made Wyllys realize there was a vast world of music out there and in order to truly reach out to the crowd, a DJ must be able to incorporate a myriad of styles in his set. And so it was born.....House, Hip Hop, Rock and Roll, Jazz, Drum and Bass, Trip Hop, Broken Beat...you name it...it is in Wyllys’ collection and could quite possibly make an appearance in any one of his ferocious live sets. The energy Wyllys brings to the crowd is as brilliant as the track selection and mixing. Be on the lookout for his first multi-disc release coming out soon. Till then, go catch one of his sets. It will knock you on your ASS!
