WRECKING BALL
The FINAL Asylum Reunion

SATURDAY AUGUST 21st, 2010

14 HOUR MULTI-VENUE EVENT!
SPRINGFIELD, MA || WINDSOR LOCKS, CT




|||||||||||||||||||||||| THE ASYLUM REUNION


"They paved paradise and put up a parking lot..."
Joni Mitchell

For those of you who haven't heard, the City of Springfield has announced that they will be knocking down The Asylum building throughout July & August. The property will be turned into a parking lot. We at True Productions have decided that this would be a the most appropriate time to have our FINAL Asylum Reunion event to show the City of Springfield that they can tear down a building, but they will NEVER break our spirit.

"You don't know what you got 'til it's gone." Those words couldn't ring more TRUE, especially when reminiscing about a venue such as the Asylum. We want to remind everyone (both old and new) about the importance of preserving the few venues we have left to celebrate our music in. We need to party responsibly. Respect not only the venue you party in, but more so YOURSELF. Respect the others surrounding you and remember - Peace Love Unity Respect *Resposibility*

EXCISION with MC JERU THE DAMAJA
http://www.myspace.com/excision
http://www.facebook.com/excision

Kelowna, British Colombia, Canada
Taking influence from Drum and Bass, Metal, and Hip Hop, Excision is a Dubstep artist who must be heard to be fully believed. Combining the morphing basslines of Drum and Bass, the aggressive energy of Metal, and the laid back vibes of hip hop, Excision’s style is incomparable. At only 22, this prodigy hailing from up north in Canada has rapidly grown to become of the biggest Dubstep acts of North America. If you’re lucky enough to catch a live set, expect an assault of bass-heavy tracks, mixed quickly and seamlessly. His first release, “No Escape” on his label RottunRecordings sold out and repressed. Shortly after he was asked by EDM superstars Pendulum to remix their latest single “Showdown.” Forthcoming collabs will include: Bassnectar, SPL, DZ + more. Global tours and festival stops, nods from industry and top producers worldwide, and picking up fans faster than a wild brush fire out of control, Excision is only warming up on what can only be described as the future of dubstep!

JERU THE DAMAJA
***Special Guru Tribute Performance***
http://www.myspace.com/jeru
Brooklyn, New York
Jeru began his legacy in Brooklyn where he started rapping at block parties at a very young age. He first showcased his hardcore Brooklyn style to audiences on "I'm the Man," track from Gang Starr's1992 album Daily Operation. The following year, he released his first single "Come Clean", an instant hit, which was produced by DJ Premier. His first album, "The Sun Rises in the East" in 1994 brought him much acclaim and is still considered a benchmark in the industry! His second album in 1996, "Wrath Of the Man", again with DJ Premier brought him further into the spotlight and also began to showcase his individuality. His track "One Day" gave his perception on commercial directions in hiphop which led to his inevitable seclusion until 1999. His 3rd album"Heroz4hire" was self-released on his own Know Savage Records. This continued the controversial "999 Pa Cent" cut. "Divine Design" followedin 2003 also self-released on Ashenafi Records and even more recently"Still Rising" in 2007 continue to prove his ability, perseverance, and passion to what he TRUE-ly loves - absolutely smashing stages to bits with a mic! For those from the way-back, Jeru was a significant figure at the original sold out crowd True Luck party @ Asylum. Tonight will be a very special show in tribute to another legend, the recently passed Guru, as he performs a set of all Guru material in what can only described as history in the making!

Los Angeles, CA | New York City
The Atlanta-based Evol Intent are among the greatest purveyors of the incendiary, evolving modern jungle sound. Operating as a three piece power troop, Knick, Gigantor, and the Enemy have produced some of the most progressive drum n’ bass to date. Their influence is global! Birthed out of hardcore-punk culture, the trio developed a unique method for wrecking soundsystems. Their sounds combines dynamic drum mechanics, razor sharp edits, sawtooth synths and discord resonant of their punk youth. A large discography includes work on Renegade Hardware, Barcode, Outbreak, Human, and their own Evol Intent label.Dieselboy requested their skills for his acclaimed “Dungeon Master’sGuide” compilation, remixing a track from the world-renowned BT. They have produced tracks for video games like the coveted EA Sports’ “Needfor Speed” and Adult Swim promo adds. They also solidified other partnerships with Chris Renegade, Ewun, Apex and Spor to create Lifted Music. “Glock Party”, Evol Intent’s contribution to the label’s inaugural release “The Prologue EP” became an undeniable underground smash-a track that Goldie has been spinning all over the world and boldly states that “the reaction has been mental.” Their "Era ofDiversion" EP showcases their many styles. Never resting, the boys' side projects: Hostage (Knick, Mayhem & Ewun) for breakbeat, Minus Music for downtempo, and Treasure Fingers (The Enemy) for electro, and Gigantor doing engineering and mixdowns. Unstoppable, awe-inspiring, and energy that cannot be denied, the Evol Intent experience is about totake NE by storm!
