12th Planet [http://www.myspace.com/12thplanet]
Born in Los Angeles in 1982, John Dadzie aka Infiltrata aka 12th Planet prescribes a transatlantic flavour to Med School. Growing up in the south of the city, John’s musical apprenticeship began in his high school days by playing in bands and regularly attending raves and jungle parties. The turning point came when he formed Imperial Recordings with DJ Lith, a stepping stone for John to excel in a field of production and management.

The Infiltrata profile skyrocketed thanks to support from Boxed Agency UK and John hot-footed it across the Atlantic stepping into the European dance circuit. He was able to catch the attention of big players in the d&b community with releases on Cartel, Renegade Hardware, Tech Itch, Barcode, Cymbalism, and Uprising. Infiltrata has forged successful collaborations with heavy hitting d&b artists such as Spor, Limewax, Concord Dawn, Evol Intent and Mayhem. He also joined forces with Dave “Hochi” Weston, producing a telling remix of the massive Photek single “Sidewinder”. On the back this he later helped establish the TEKDBZ label, a subsidiary of Photek Productions.

Infiltrata aka 12th Planet expresses himself as an artist in multiple genres including dubstep, electro and hip-hop… a fitting backdrop for any Med School beat surgeon. Donning his white overalls, Infiltrata has his scalpels sharpened and is ready to operate.

Underneath the Grand Ballroom lives the historic Marlin Ballroom, the second biggest of Webster Hall’s legendary dance floors. Every Friday night this room is PACKED from the time doors open until the sun comes up. Webster Hall’s world-famous DJ Ray Roc holds residency, serving up the freshest mash up song selection in North America to the incredibly diverse crowd that can be found in the Marlin Room at all hours of the night. Musical style includes today’s top 40 dance hits, hip hop and house, along with classic dancefloor-packing hits from the 80’s, 90’s and 00’s.
TRASH!
The infamous TRASH! party at The Studio in Webster Hall is the “go-to” Friday night event for rambunctious erotic behaviour coupled with the best playlist in NYC. Hosted by DJ JESS and ALEX MALFUNCTION, the party has a flair for underground fashion, a frenetic passion for cutting edge music, and a sense of camp and frivolity that invokes the contraband celebrations of 1920s speakeasies, the flamboyance of Studio 54, and the ecstatic release of 1990s Limelight. Kookie club kids work the dance floor, post punk go-gos flash their undies, and the “Late Nite Cabaret” show turns every head in the room. Get there early to catch cutting edge bands; stay late for the wicked 2-4-1 drink special. Work a look for door whore BRENDON JAMES and skip the line. This is the ultimate party for girls who are boys who like boys to be girls who do boys like they’re girls who do girls like they’re boys. Always should be someone you really love…
