Over 30 of Ottawa's best DJs will be representing alongside an all star list of headliners - the cream of North America's dance scene! Massive sound and lights, the trademark Synergy lasers, and a return to the vibe that people said couldn't be brought back! This will be a night of music and memories not soon forgotten...make sure you're a part of the history!

Area 1: Trance Techno Hardcore

skylab2000 live -Los Angeles, USA
(Genesis Project, Phatt Phunk Records, Moonshine, City of Angels, Brainiak UK, ZYZ Germany, Fatal Data, Jump & Egg Records) [ www.skylab2000.com ]
A decade of hard work and amazing music has earned Dennis Barton, aka skylab2000, a reputation as one of the best live acts in the world! Headlining events as far away as Hong Kong, Russia, and all over Europe, this will be skylab2000's first appearance in Ottawa, and we cannot explain how proud and excited we are!
Producing a wide collection of trance, banging techno, and acid breaks, there could be no one better to headline an event celebrating the unity between genres. Massive tracks like Night Train, Auburn and Roller Girl will give you an idea of what to expect, but nothing can really prepare you for the *real* live experience - no DATS or artificial synthesis - 100% pure live pa madness!

DJ Spree w/ MC ADB -Minnesota/Nebraska USA
(Sonic Fury, Esdjco Clothing) [ www.sonicfury.net ]
DJ Spree has been a Happy Hardcore NUT way before he ever even attended his first rave. It's what wakes him up in the morning and keeps him going all day long. He's been spinning for almost 5 years, and in that time he's painted smiles across the faces of thousands of kids at countless events all over North America. He's spun in cities from L.A. to Toronto to Baltimore and almost everywhere in between. Spree has put out dozens studio mixed compilations in the past 4 years, ranging from 1994/95 style breakbeat/piano filled hardcore to the latest up to date anthems. All of these mixes are available at [ www.sonicfury.net ] for free download. Between lightning fast mixing, rare tracks, and an amazing stage show, there's no question why Spree and ADB are two of the USA's favourite Happy Hardcore performers. Long time Montreal favourites, get ready for these boy's Ottawa debuts!

Belladonnakillz -Toronto, Canada
(SMERK, Industrial Strength Records)
Signed to Lenny Dee's Industrial Strength Records and a leading figure in Toronto's underground hardcore resistance, we welcome back Belladonnakillz, who rocked the dancefloor with his insane breakcore sound at Boo 2.

Mark Scaife -Toronto, Canada
(System Sound Bar, Breathe, Volume Eleven) [ www.djmarkscaife.com ]
Praised by DJs such as Paul Van Dyk, Danny Howells and John '00' Fleming, Mark Scaife has made a reputation for himself as one of the top DJs in North America. Resident at the infamous System Sound Bar and the top progressive house night Breathe, his ability behind a mixer have to be experienced live to believe!
Mark's unique style is difficult to categorize, incorporating a myriad of sounds. It is this
adaptability that has enabled Scaife to drop smoothly on to a variety of dance floors with a range of DJs including BT, Sasha & Digweed, Judge Jules, Seb Fontaine, Sandra Collins, Steve Lawler, Sister Bliss and Oliver Lieb. At WEMF 2000, Paul Oakenfold personally requested Scaife's talents to warm him up!!

Brad Copeland (Stereo Nightclub, Surface, Montreal) [ www.bradcopeland.ca ]
A pillar of the Ottawa club scene for several years and now resident of the world famous Stereo Nightclub in Montreal, we are pleased to present one of the most talented individuals in Canada for possibly one of the last times before he rockets to international superstardom status! From stints at Icon to Atomic to his own successful night at the Well (R.I.P), Brad has played alongside such talent as Satoshi Tomiie, Slacker, Sander Kleinenberg, Tiesto, and has been personally invited on tour with Max Graham and Sandra Collins. With early production work getting play from many of the world's top djs, we have no doubt that Brad will take everyone to a new level at Two Tribes.

Serge -Toronto, Canada
(One Degree)
One of the founders of Full Force, arguably Ottawa's best rave promotion company ever, and more recently resident at the enjoyably irresponsible One Degree club nights, Serge is coming home to play his first rave since Canada Day 2001 and continue an all night tradition he has been helping create for almost 10 years.

Area 3: Jungle/Drum n Bass/Breaks

Mystical Influence -Toronto, Canada
(Vinyl Syndicate, Renegade Hardware, Renegades, Turbo) [ www.vinylsyndicate.com ]
There are very few areas of Toronto's D&B scene that Mystical hasn't had a part of taking to the next level. A founding father of the world-renown Vinyl Syndicate label and responsible for the massive Renegades raves alongside Robbie Syrous, he also ran Turbo, a 3000-capacity club dedicated to drum n bass and other forms of electronic music.
Mystical has produced several tracks for the Vinyl Syndicate label and on respected U.K. label Renegade Hardware. In 1995, one of the original Syndicate tracks, Dubplate Pressure (with MC GQ), gave Mystical worldwide notoriety - the track DJs still mash left and right to this day!

Marty McFly -Toronto, Canada
(Dope Radio on [ www.djshows.com ] Chills DJ Hit Squad) [ www.martymcfly.cjb.net ]
No introduction neccesary for this Ottawa favourite and purveyor of funky breakbeats! A veteran old-schooler who still does it all night long, Marty will be laying down a special pre-sunrise breaks set guaranteed to get everyone up and going!

DJ Cure -London Canada
(Soulscape Records, Mainline, Battlestation Radio) [ www.soulscaperecords.com ]
One of Canada's most exciting up and comers, this London Ontario native has managed to explode into the extremely closed ranks of Canada's top D&B djs and producers. Playing alongside all the big names and recently with Concord Dawn, this is one DJ who you'll definitely be hearing more from in the future!

Doc’s Comments
Two Tribes was an excellent event, one of the best I’ve ever been involved in and a definite candidate for the kind of event I’d like people to remember my promotional efforts by. Of course like any rave event, the party had it’s own flavor in the form of a terminally fucked up jungle room which then caused a nasty cannibalization of the chill room’s equipment.
Basically we were running without spare turntables and mixers, so when equipment in the jungle room glitched out, which it does when there’s nothing to replace it, we had to get creative and substitute and steal needles, decks, and other odd stuff from the chill room. Overall we managed to keep both rooms running for the entire night, but staff went through a serious amount of head and heartache over it.
An interesting side story is how much I slept during the weekend of Two Tribes. That was night 2 of promoting, as we had done an event called Accelerated Culture the night before in Montreal with several of the djs from the Two Tribes lineup. I was up on Friday morning at 9am with the rest of the Montreal crew to pick up the truck and load in sound in Ottawa, drive to Montreal, unload all the sound into a second floor venue, setup for the rest of the day, party all night, and then at 8am pull apart the soundsystem and load it back into the truck. Drive the truck back to Ottawa to camp fortune, unload it all, set it back up, set the rest of the event up, and then stay up all night again.
So let's see, we started at 9am friday morning and we're now at 9am sunday morning and several of the crew still hasn't slept. And then there's a problem - we need to get Spree and ADB back to Montreal to catch their afternoon flight back home. Guess who gets to do it! After picking up Belladonnakillz and some other djs and getting them to the bus station, we gather up Spree & ADB. Packing about 10 cans of Hype energy drinks, we set out bravely and I'm proud to say I didn't come close to nodding off ever - I had Carolyne with me and whenever we were feeling too tired we'd switch drivers. Plus having an MC in the car kept conversation interesting.
Anyways, we get to Montreal and drop the djs off, and go to a friend's place to crash. But guess what : he's not home and we have to drive back. At this point it's 4PM and things are getting retarded. Once again, we drive back home and miraculously we make it back without any dangerous mishaps at the wheel. We get back to my house at 6pm and SLEEP. Glorious sleep. So a weekend that started at 9am friday ended 57 hours later. Although the lack of sleep definately did put a damper on my cheerfulness that weekend, I still had a great time and am amazed that we survived it all with huge smiles - big ups to the real hardcore crew: Jeremy, James, Carolyne, Charles Monroe, and Ben Lightguy.
