Dirty South Ravers
Although the Dirty South Ravers were officially born in the fall of 2004, their roots lie a little further back in time. It all got started before the planes hit the towers. Jason[VJ/DJ Protohippy] and Mark[VJ/DJ +10hp] would spend alot of time smokin and playin with their pc's and rockin the electro. Endless conversations revolved around computer generated music and art, virtual environments and real world immersive environments. Total startrek shit! They'd game out while listening to each others mixes. Both dreamed of creating sensory experiences as oppossed to just another song or video. Many plans were made and ideas explored, but life interrupted and the two were split apart and lost touch.

While Mark spent time tattooing and scratching and toymaking, Jay began aquiring and utilizing his first video projector. Soon he was finding software that would let him create the images he and Mark invisioned. Being a DJ, he naturally had an audience for his CG art, bringing his projectors to underground parties. That's where after two and half years the two ran back into each other. Things moved fast from there. Two projectors became three, then five as they werked their way from party to party. Some nights they would have to split up and do two parties on the same night, often running back and forth between them to DJ a set and then take over on video again.

This had three major side effects, 1. they learned to maximize the effect they could have on each party, 2. they made twice as much $$$ those nights, and 3. they spent that $$$ on more and more and even MORE gear. Until they had so much their puny consumer grade automobiles could no longer bring them to events. Over the past few years, the DSR boys have become a force to recon with. With top notch visuals and creative eyes for the environment they performed in, they stunned both crowd and DJ alike. Having worked with Artists such as AK1200, Dieselboy, Keoki, DJ Micro, RHV, 4 Strings, Mea, Brian Cox, David Garcia, Vicious Vic, DeepSky, Dara, Steve Smooth, Eric Ross, Ron-E, Reid Speed, Suzy Solar, Venom, Exodus, Paul Anthony, Kid Icarus, Jabwai, plus hiphop artists CapaDonna and U-god from Wu-Tang Clan, Prefuse73 and alt-rockers Scotty Karate, Whitey, and Quintron&MissPussycat... just to name a BUTTLOAD!!!! Lately, they hold weekly residencies at several San Antonio spots as well a monthly residence at controversial Afterlife in Dallas Texas and Austin's Enchanted Forest & J Loraine Ranch.
