DJ E3 (Ezra E. Ereckson) is a DJ, producer, and head of dub vinyl label ZamZam Sounds. A core member of the pioneering agit-dub band Systemwide (Portland) and experimental sound system Bucolic (San Francisco), E3 has been collecting records since ’83 and DJing for almost 15 years. Past residencies such as Deeper Roots (Afro House) and Bassism (2 Step/UK Garage) in the early ’00s cemented his rep as a sonic tactician without boundaries, pushing the sounds of Africa, the Middle East, the Balkans, and the Caribbean at every tempo, from reggae, dub and hip hop through jungle, house and techno. E3′s current residency is ATLAS, alongside DJs Anjali and The Incredible Kid. Nearly ten years strong, ATLAS is Holocene’s longest-running night, the only post-national bass party of its kind for hundreds (if not thousands) of miles in any direction, bringing international heat to the most diverse crowd in town.
Mo Phillips is a musician based in Portland, OR, who has released a couple of Americana/Neil Young-like albums for grownups (The Boat, 2004; Homemade, 2006), and Train Beard follows his stylistic leanings, except with kid subjects and lyrics this time ’round. Guitars, harmonica, organ, and the occasional bongo provide the majority of the instrumentation on Train Beard, supplemented by Phillips’ down-to-earth vocals.

“A catchy and captivating song-crafter….a real storyteller.”—NPR
Robin Jackson has told fantastic cabaret tales with Vagabond Opera and blasted out the jams with The March Fourth Marching Band and The Everyone Orchestra when not giving up the funk, teaching voice workshops, or belting out epic arrangements of rock favorites in a myriad of other projects and obsessions. With a degree in ethnomusicology and an unflagging musical curiosity, Jackson has lived and busked around the world, from an intentional beach community in New Zealand to the streets of Europe. He is a master of a myriad of instruments, from saxophone to mbira and played with everyone from Gogol Bordello to Amanda Palmer to The Decembrists. An award-winning songwriter, teacher, activist, and spirited impresario, Jackson has built on his colorful, bohemian upbringing and dedicated himself to creating and supporting music around Portland, Or where he lives on an urban farm with his cat and a circus.
