Reno Passport and The Beach are proud to present Hydration, a music and art event that will take place at 9pm on Friday, Aug. 27, 2010 at The Beach at Grand Sierra Resort.

Smoove (NewsBreakz)

San Francisco scene builder Smoove emerged out of the 90's drum 'n bass scene in S.F. and quickly became a fixture of the underground Breakz circuit in 2001. These days, his signature mix of nu skool breakz, funk and electronic dance music can be heard every weekend all over San Francisco's night life, from underground warehouse parties to his residencies at The End Up, 1015 and Mighty.

Jonboy (Dubalicious/Swag)

San Francisco-based Jonboy will perform at Hydration with a mix of Electro, Techno, House and Breaks. Since his early high school years at Chicago's legendary Medusa's nightclub, Jonboy has embraced all elemental sounds of electronic music. After moving to S.F., he has been exposed to the funky overtones of West Coast house that continue to shape his music today.

The Mener

The Mener is a Reno-based electronic dance music DJ who brings a mix of electronic house music with an occasional break beat and reggae track to keep the crowd hooked. The Mener performs at electronic dance music events throughout the region.

EJ Luera

Based out of Reno, EJ Luera is a DJ who has performed on just about every stage in town. EJ plays a variety of music, ranging from Hip Hop, Electronic Dance Music, House and Indie Rock.
