MechaniK is a rap artist out of Des Moines, Iowa. Bringing a different style to rap, as most others are attempting to do. Alongside playing the drums since the age of 6, he found his love and skill for poetry and rapping at age 12. A music/song writer, he was in a brainwashed state between metal and hip-hop music. He found his inspiration again for rapping at the age of 17. One year later, he is now working his way to creating a rap career of his own. Along with his running mates SHOK and Equinox, their Des Moines-based rap label, Battle Ready Music, was created in 2011 and going strong. Currently they are all three working on their first mixtape releases. MechaniK's "Gearz Of W.A.R." and Shok's "SHOKwave" is to be released by New Year's Day 2012. They are also beginning to plan a Midwest tour to begin around mid-2012. Battle Ready Music is here!!With:

Joel Smith and Nick Stifel had been in bands together before, went their separate ways but then realized it was only with each other that they could do this properly. Joel and Nick got together to form the band Lake Effect Kids. After awhile they changed the name to Lake of Fat Kids. Nick's aunt had asked what the band was called and she misunderstood and thought he said "Lake of Fat Kids" They thought it was funny and went with it. They eventually added Seth Cloe on bass, and Dylan Erickson on drums after many other previous members of the band had come and gone. Now the lake is finally complete, and are ready to show the world exactly what they are made of. And they have only just begun.With:

electro/funk/alternative
Eliot Lipp didn't choose to become one of the most looked to artists in contemporary electronic music, but somehow, Lipp's sound, one that uses vintage gear to create a unique take on Hip Hop and House, has quickly garnered the respect among the industry's most influential musicians and producers as well as the deep admiration among audiences worldwide.
Since being discovered by Scott Herren (...aka Prefuse 73) in the mid 2000's, and releasing albums on the cutting edge labels Eastern Developments, Mush and Hefty as well as backing the hype with a relentless touring schedule of influential live shows all over the globe, Lipp has quickly become one of the barometers for the revival of electronic music in the States.With:
