RIC ALMEDA, OWNER & DJ
Dj Rapid Ric went from releasing mixtapes himself in a small border town, to becoming the center of the Texas hip-hop community. The go-to guy if you wanted to get your stuff heard in the region, but also internationally. His vision was equal parts DJ, and ambassador. As soon as he could, he moved to
the center of Texas, Austin, and immersed himself in that scene.
Taking the popular greeting, used widely throughout the state, “Whut It Dew,” and branding each and every mixtape he would do with that moniker, Ric basically said hello to a much wider world than any Texas DJ before him. He formed partnerships with artists from across the state – most notably with
Chamillionaire (Ric is his official DJ), Z-Ro, Trae tha Truth, Killa Kyleon, Bun B, Chalie Boy, Paul Wall and more – and released mixtapes with each and every one of them that not only showcased the growing berth of Texas music, but also his strong DJ skills.
His skills and persistence quickly got him noticed, and once noticed he hit the road.
Ric has DJed highly successful parties in New York, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Chicago, London, Amsterdam, Oslo, Stockholm, Dubai, Toronto, Vancouver, India, Brazil and more. Giving out mixtapes everywhere he’d go.

LOUIS BROWN, DJ PANAMA LOU
Louis’ drive for excellence when creating a musical atmosphere is attributed to his family’s Panama music roots, and his desire to connect with the crowd through their shared love of music.
Along with attending The Art Institute of Austin, Louis has played for eclectic crowds at various downtown Austin bars and clubs, luxury hotels, corporate events, and charity fundraisers in order to constantly improve his skills. During his career, Louis has learned that it’s important for him to stay in tune with the crowd to provide the best experience. “Every night is an adventure of its own; the energy and crowd will always be different, so the outcome and reactions will be as well. It’s a great challenge to encounter,” says Louis.
While he loves hearing that a music set was fantastic from the crowd or venue owner, Louis sees each chance to DJ as more than a party. Louis further explains, “music is a driving force in my life, and being able to share an organic experience with people as we momentarily escape our daily situations is a blessing.”
