LED Resident. Formerly (1/2 of No Body)
Ever since a young age, Los Angeles based producer Kevin Chapman better known as FYOR [pronounced FIRE] has always had a desire for creating music. Beginning his musical career at age 6, Kevin was taught piano and trumpet but it didn’t stop there. Over the years his musical taste and passion for learning new instruments expanded along with his abilities. His first introduction to dance music was at age 12 when he first listened to artist such as Fatboy Slim and Moby, but that was just the tip of the iceberg. In 2008 he got his first copy of Reason, after that he began producing his first dance tracks and really immersing himself in the LA club scene. In 2010 the duo No Body was formed. As a part of No Body, Kevin refined his skills as producer and as a DJ, receiving support from artists such as Deadmau5, Tiesto, Hardwell and more. They also played shows such as LED’s OMFG, EDC 2012 and had residencies at Voyeur, Avalon and Wavehouse. By 2012, Kevin had completed multiple degrees in production and recording and decided to embark on his solo career. His style could be described as “Dirty Acid Big Room House” but genre does not limit him. After spending 5 months in the studio with multiple EP releases on the way, nothing is slowing this guy down.
Electro, Progressive and stuff.

22 year old Producer/DJ duo
Hannover, Germany
David and Jonathan grew up in the same neighborhood and both simultaneously but independently started discovering their strong interest in music around the age of 15 years.
David began to produce beats and played guitar, while Jonathan bought his first turntables and started mixing and laying down first beats. At that time they were influenced by the hip hop scene and were soon very aware that the music would dominate their future lives.
David continued to work on arranging his songs and Jonathan played gigs in local nightclubs. Over time, both evolved their individual styles of hip-hop into house music.
With influences such as Afrojack, Swedish House Mafia, Hardwell and Nicky Romero, they began to produce music for themselves with better and better equipment in their "home-style" studios.

On Sylvester 2011 both decided to up their game and join creative forces: together they founded "NOIZZE".
Today David and Jonathan are really looking forward to boiling up the dance floors with their upcoming releases.

“D.O.D is of the most talented young DJs and producers we’ve discovered this century. Expect big things” Mixmag
“One of the best djs I’ve seen all year” Kissy Sell Out, BBC Radio 1 Punching well above his years, D.O.D is standing on the edge of becoming an international sensation within club circles. Already finding plaudits among Annie Mac, Tiesto, David Guetta, Eddie Halliwell, Steve Aoki, Laidback Luke, Gareth Emery and Laurent Garnier, this fresh faced beats stalwart has also managed to secure himself a residency with Mixmag for their club and Ibiza tours; not bad for a kid who’s barely out of his teens.
With a DJ style that can only be deemed as inimitable, in-your-face turntable wizardry, D.O.D has managed to secure a wide cross section of fans with his music – which sets about fusing the lines between everything House, Electro and Techno.
But whilst his work ethic is familiar of yesteryears hard craft approach, his technical ability is certainly more forward moving. Positioning his musical style as ‘Jump-Up Big Room House’, he utilises 3-4 CDJ’S, DJM900 an EFX1000/Kaossolaitor, alongside his own personal edits and bootlegs, to great effect – citing the likes of QBert, DJ Yoda and the Scratch Perverts as inspiration for his style of play. This approach to the art of DJing has led him to share the stage with a whopping ensemble of peek time performers in the past 12 months alone; Laidback Luke, Eddie Halliwell, Michael Woods, Tim Mason, Nero, Calvin Harris, Annie Mac, John O’Callahan, Judge Jules, Chase & Status, Pendulum, Example, Riva Starr, Kim Fai, Kissy Sell Out & Doorly to name a few.
With his producing career already off to a flying start, D.O.D can already boast a 4 track EP on the UK’s legendary ‘New State Music’ which did the damage worldwide, gaining support from some from one the worlds biggest DJs – Tiesto. One of the tracks from D.O.D’s debut EP also made it onto the ‘Pacha Future Dance’ compilation album. D.O.D also nailed a remix for Dutch electro champion Laidback Luke’s track ‘Turbulence’ which has already hit over 1/4 million hits on YouTube. Moving forward to future releases, D.O.D has just signed a two track EP to Australian label ‘Vicious Recordings’, the label who made Avicii who he is today – Out at the beginning of March, already receiving support from David Guetta and Gareth Emery. He has also signed a new track to USA’s answer to a DJ rockstar – Steve Aoki’s ‘Dim Mak Records’ – Out in Spring. He has a remix coming out on Paul Oakenfold’s ‘Perfecto Records’ which is also due out in spring 2012.
Over the course of the next few months his schedule is packed with a string of white-hot club dates UK and internationally including Croatia, The Arches in Glasgow, Tall Trees in Yarm, Ibiza Rocks, A North American tour, as well as a full UK festival tour – A sign of a great year ahead for the 23 year old artist!
With enough tricks to keep the eyes as transfixed as the ears, it’s no wonder the world of rave can’t stop their clamour for him. Dance music is at its most potent when all about fresh, hungry and talented youth, and D.O.D represents that lust for measured abandon brilliantly. The dance floor may never be the same again…
