Eric Abramson (AKA Eric Prince, DJ Prince E) was first musically influenced by his grandmother who played Calypso and Motown, and his uncle Antonio Abramson who played percussion for Mongo Santamaria and his son Monguito. He experienced the beginning of the Hip-Hop movement first hand as he grew up in Harlem. In 1975 he started making pause mix tapes. His first residency was at an after hour space called Ja-Gazzy which they soon found out was owned by Harlem Gangster Nicky Barnes.

Eric started doing gigs on his own in other underground Harlem spaces such as The Tradewinds, This Bitter Earth, and The Uptown Underground.  At the age of 17, he was one of the top underground DJ's in Harlem. He was a member of one of many crews called "fantastic four" at the time, and he was the Dj for King Tim who went on to record the first ever hiphop track on vinyl for the Fatback band. Eric was also asked to do studio work for some of the local record label owners such as Bobby Robinson (Enjoy Records), Paul Winley (Winley Records), and Oscar Richardson AKA Flaming King (PMP Records). Eric cites his first time of hearing Larry Levan at the Paradise Garage as having completely redefined his understanding of what a Dj is.

During the 90's Eric taught and mentored other DJ's and kept producing local artists. During this time he was introduced to Bobby Davis Jr, the founder of the first ever African American music Dj pool, out ot the Bronx in i978, Spinners Unlimited Recording Enterprises (S.U.R.E.). Eric suggested to Bobby that SURE could be moved online and secured the name surerecordpool.com for Bobby. In 2004 The online version of SURE Record Pool was up and running. It has serviced DJ's from around the world ever since. Eric took over the day to day operations of SURE to honor the memory of Bobby Davis who passed away in december 2010, which he still does to this day.

Eric Prince still performs at occasional special events. He has also been doing a musical podcast for over ten years which can be located at http://ceedoggpresents.blogspot.com/

We are understandably immensely gratefull that he has agreed to be our special guest at 4 years Dub Intervention.

Baud is a DJ and musician mainly commuting between Pisa and Berlin who is much influenced by the electronic music scene--but not only this! In her sets, she mixes a large range of different rhythms—often with acoustical instruments including the e-piano and synths, in order to create a multi-colored atmosphere that evokes varied feelings. From playing harder edge Techno with remixes of favorite rock songs to experimental tracks and beats, she collects daily and produces, aiming to cross barriers of redundancy and find her own unique way of expression. Along with co-organizing music festivals such as Fusion while following the music scene in Berlin, her home base since 2015 has been at the Eschschloraque Rümpschrümp, recognized as one of the best and oldest artistic platforms of Berlin. It’s here that she learned how to DJ and raise her music knowledge to a higher level. As she doesn't see a barrier between music and social engagement, she often plays and co-organizes antiracist and queer events. It's for a queer night, when she had to associate a genre to her name, where she invented the term "Electrofluid", which she kept as the perfect description of the music she's playing.

Ingrain is an illustration of the religious dogmatic system I was raised in by my family, primarily my mother.  Her rigid, puritanical, and oppressive ideas left me isolated and ignorant of both normal sexual experiences, as well as healthy boundaries.  When my childish ignorance finally encountered popular culture as an adult woman, I was overwhelmed by the demand for hypersexualized performance, without any tools to navigate my own desires or boundaries. My mother's religious extremism provoked my equally extreme rebellion. I replaced one toxic belief system with another and the child remained in my adult body with the same ingrained associations.  Guilt and pleasure, sexuality and shame, punishment and affection.
