The Cereal Killaz is Washington DC area breakbeat/drum n bass act created in 2005, headed up by the mastermind producer, songwriter, & multi instrumentalist -  [zarbizarre].  With elements of Nu Metal, Florida and UK Breaks, Drum n Bass, Industrial and Indie Rock, the sound can be described as hard hitting, with gut wrenching bass,  heavy hitting drums, and  nasty distorted synths and guitars that make you want to chew your face off.  

The act has performed at events all over the US and Europe, with several heavy hitters in the electronic music scene, including:  Deekline, Ctrl+Z, Aut0b0ts, Noisia, Baobinga, Mephisto Odyssey, Breakfastaz, Hyper, Dynamix II, Frankie Bones, Keoki, Dopamine, Krafty Kuts, Scott Henry, The Rogue Element,  Annalyze, Reid Speed, Simply Jeff, Baby Anne and many more, and has been the only American act to perform at the Breakspoll International Breakbeat Awards, held at the superclub, Fabric, in London, UK (Feb 2007).

 “... conceptually apart from the average nu skool ... innovative breakbeat ...” - Mike Hogan, owner of Breakspoll - from review of  the single, “Reality”
  “Disturbing, in a good way.” - Carl Loben, DJ MAG, May 2006

As a DJ act, Cereal Killaz / [zarbizarre] is one of the few breakbeat DJ's who practices harmonic mixing - the technique of mixing different keys artistically, instead of randomly, in order to create musical blends rather than bland or sour mixes.  The DJ/VJ combo provides mixing the music as well as mixing and generating real time video manipulation on the fly to fit with the music, the digital LivePA consists of the use of laptop loaded up with all kinds of sounds and loops of original and other tracks and a midi controller - performing original creations and live remixes in real time.

Cereal Killaz is available for bookings as a DJ act, DJ/VJ Combination and Digital LivePA act. To book the Cereal Killaz to perform at one of your events, contact Chris Pattison of Nexus Artist Management @ 802-355-4421.
