Nasty Rumor is proud to represent a diverse group of talent from St. Louis and beyond:
SPEEDBALL
Speedball is St. Louis’ top-secret trancefusion phenomenon. Influenced by artists as diverse as The Disco Biscuits, STS9, Kiss, and Matchbox 20, Speedball brings a dark perspective to the world of jamtronica. Composed of brothers D-BAD and Slick Rick, paired with soul-brothers Mark Williams and BDogg300, this foursome has literally decades of experience playing music with each other - resulting in a sound that is both far-reaching and familiar, and a live show that has little compare. (Currently on hiatus, re-releases coming soon!)

CRUNCHY GROOVES
Crunchy Grooves is a DJ crew consisting of D-BAD (a.k.a. DJ Crunchy Grooves) and friends. Formerly the host of “Good Times” on KDHX Community Radio, D-BAD spins dance music from all genres - from funk to crunk to electro to techno, and beyond - resulting in a portable dance party for any occasion.

KURTIS RANDOM
DJ/Producer/Guitarist/Engineer, eclectic electronic artist extraordinare, Dr. Kurtis Random has been traveling the globe tirelessly in his quest to set the mood just right. Fusing the sounds of London, Miami, LA, and St. Louis, from dub-step to ragga, hip-hop to funk, Dr. Random has the fresh prescription. Debut EP expected late 2008.

JOE THOMAS
Joe Thomas is St. Louis’ premiere minimal techno DJ. A longtime member of tech-house crew Alphahouse, Joe is the master of the quirky, far-out and obscure. A Joe Thomas set transforms a typical club night into a futuristic dystopia, the darkest sounds coupled with the most dancable beats. Along with fellow Alphahouse-member Scaught, Joe Thomas is the epitome of underground St. Louis dance music. Look for the debut EP in late 2008.
CPB
CPB is a St. Louis legend, a progressive jam-funk band of a very different order. Since forming in 1996 in Winchester, MO, the band has taken on many different shapes and sounds - but has always succeeded in pushing the limits of the traditional jam-funk music group. Hard to comprehend, even harder to keep up with, CPB is something special. (Currently on hiatus, archive releases soon to come!)
