MELEE: (satellite records, [ bostonbreaks.com ] avalon boston)[/size] Jay Giacoppo, or Coppo to his numerous friends, is an incredibly humble, yet extremely beloved figure in Boston's burgeoning dance scene. He's known to most for his ever present smile, yet underneath the always positive exterior is one of the hardest working, and extremely talented people in town. Despite being a tad shy of 28, Coppo, or Melee (when he DJs,) is already an established night club promoter, record store manager and street team coordinator. By day, he works as the General Manager at Boston's most prestigious specialty dance shop, Satellite Records. By night, he serves as the breakbreat resident at Avalon, a universally lauded super club that repeatedly has earned "Best in America" honors from respected publications such as URB Magazine and BPM Culture. As a promoter, he's worked with Shadows of Society crew to bring top-flight talent to town, including Elite Force, Rennie Pilgrem and Paranoid Jack. His promotional efforts also led him to take over the legendary Wednesday night at the Phoenix Landing, a night that has served as the centerpiece for the city's dance scene for the last seven years. His party, run through the Boston Breaks collective, a group he founded and runs, is called Tension. Already a few months old, the night has generated an exceptional buzz, helping breath life into a sound that hasn't been embraced by the mainstream dance culture. His hard work and perseverance is paying dividends. In the last year alone, he's had a number of high profile gigs, most notably WMC05, Burning Man, and The World Quarter-Pipe Snowboarding Championships. He's also had the incredible opportunity to play alongside a number of the genre's most celebrated talents, i.e. DJ Hyper, Infusion, James Zabiela, Smithmonger, Chris Carter, Icey, Simply Jeff, and more. Always on the move, Giacoppo shows promise to be Boston's next breakout star. His night continues to build momentum and the booking offers have increased with each passing month. But in spite of all the good things happening, he remains completely grounded and dedicated to his local scene.

SCOOBY [ www.MassiveAudio.net ] / Albany, NY) The sound of breakbeat found Scooby Carolan in 1997 in upstate New York. Instantly captivated by the syncopated beats, quick changes, and complex musical structure of Acid & Funky Breaks, he began DJing immediately. After a quick series of mixed tapes called the “Resurrection Series” he bought his first drum machine and was throwing his own parties by 1997. Now in 2005, 8 years later, Scooby Carolan is a co-owner of Massive Audio. A close knit collective of DJs, producers, and promoters centered around a record store of the same name in Albany, NY. He has played all over the USA and released several mixes over the Internet that have received great reviews. Check out [ massiveaudio.net ] to find out more.
