Shhhhhhhh! Andrea Graham is known as the Librarian, but don�t be fooled by her deceptively quiet composure. The Bass Coast Music Festival�s co-founder and music curator has been making some very loud noises up and down the Pacific Northwest for the better part of a decade. Her knack for blending total dance floor destruction with sly subtleties and hot new exclusives makes for a consistently accessible, yet undeniably future sound. Indeed, her festival�s carefully crafted music line-up is a perfect mirror of her style. Serving up a veritable who�s who of the West Coast bass scene and reaching deep both backwards and forwards, The Librarian offers up unabashedly hard-hitting low-end bliss paired with thoughtful, sophisticated chops.

In addition to curating and co-producing Bass Coast since its 2009 inauguration, Andrea has toured the Pacific Northwest club & festival circuit extensively (Shambhala, Symbiosis Gathering, Rifflandia, Burning Man, Envision Festival, Diversity, MEME, World Ski & Snowboarding Festival, Crankworks, and more), and has performed as far as Costa Rica and midwest from SF to Winnipeg & Wyoming. She has played alongside Pinch, J Kenzo, dBridge, UZ, Bauer, Dub FX, Silkie, Distance, Addison Groove, Machinedrum, Om Unit, JETS, Grenier, Kastle, TRUTH, Deadbeat, Marty Party, Excision, Zed�s Dead, Mimosa, Vibesquad, Ana Sia, Danny Corn, Reso, Rusko, Caspa, Appleblim, 2562, Stagga, Djunya, BSE, Kutz, & many more.

In summer 2013, The Librarian was officially made a member of West Coast�s notorious Lighta! Sound crew, joining deep bass pioneers Michael Red, Daega Sound, Max Ulis, Self Evident, Taal Mala, Mandai, Tank Gyal, Cure, & Calamalka.

Since the age of 14 (1988), Mat the Alien has been mixing, skratching and making mixes � playing beats spanning many genres, tempos and styles but always having one thing in common � heavy drum breaks and basslines.

It all started after hearing the electronic sounds being played in the warehouse partys around the
northwest of england in �88. In 1995 Mat moved to Whistler, Canada to pursue his new addiction of snowboarding.

Described by Knowledge Magazine as �awe-inspiring� & �some next level shit,� Mat has toured across the globe and performed in 14 countries from Miami to Moscow at sports events such as the US Supercross, Olympic Games (Torino & Whistler) ,X-Games & many of Canada�s largest festivals of up to 15,000 people. He� also pioneered club nights in Whistler, Vancouver and held down a bi-weekly clubnight in Las Vegas at Eye Candy (Mandalay Bay). H also got to perform a couple of times at the legendary Fabric Nightclub in London, England.

Mat�s original music and remixes are coming fast and furious � they have been featured on many T.V. shows, DVDs and webisodes. His remixes for Nick Thayer, South Rakkas (featured on Diplo�s Mad Decent blog), and his originl music has Really Good feedback and plays from some of the industry�s biggest names. His skratches can be heard on tracks by Fort Knox Five, Eprom & Ill Gates, Sweatshop Union, and EA Sports NBA HomeCourt 3.

Now also touring with his video / DJ set, he is taking the solo DJ act to new heights, hitting all of the senses with custom remix and video edits.
