Beat producer, party scientist, and remixer of artists from M.I.A. to Gregory Isaacs, DJ C continues to spread his fiercely eclectic gospel of bass-heavy, bounced-up dancefloor-blends across the land. He's been pumping out a series of records on labels around the globe including a remix of M.I.A.'s U.R.A.Q.T. for her Galang 05 single on XL Recordings, as well as singles/remixes for Ninja Tune, Soul Jazz, Man Recordings,Tigerbeat6, Community Library, and his own Mashit imprint; sharing the groves in those slabs of vinyl with the likes of  Sinden, Drop The Lime, Ghislain Poirier, The Bug, Kid606, Serj Tankian and many more. Back in Oct. '04 legendary BBC Radio 1 host John Peel chose Mashit as a "label of the month" and featured a DJ C mix of Mashit tracks. Since then his tunes and DJ sets have continued to evolve into ever-more devastating dance-floor monsters.

Like most midwest artists, Screendoor (Justin Grall) was influenced early on by the sounds emanating from the Chicago-Detroit axis during the warehouse rave scene of the late nineties. With an interest in all sounds electronic from ambient to hardcore, Screendoor's journey style dj sets represent a vast range of influences, today with an emphasis on the sounds coming out of Berlin and London. His recent sets showcase the crossover potential of dubstep, dub, IDM and minimal dub techno.

Outside of the DJ booth, Screendoor ran one of the last remaining vinyl outposts in Milwaukee and the Midwest, Niche Style / Sound and promotes events regularly bringing in a variety of international and national talent. His Milwaukee-based "Sublow" and "Midwest Dubstep All-Stars" shows were some of the first midwest all dubstep shows. The one off events have showcased regional and national talent like Kid Kameleon, DJ C and Merrick Brown.

Over his 10 year DJ career, Screendoor has performed alongside artists such as Acid Circus, Adam X, Andreas Tilliander, Anonymous, Atomly, Barem, Bitch Ass Darius, Bruno Pronsato, Butane, Centrific, Curtis Chip, Danny the Wildchild, Derek Plaslaiko, Destro, DJ C, DJ ESP Woody McBride, Doormouse, Eidolon, Emotional Joystick, Fanon Flowers, Frankie Vega, Hyperactive, James Patrick, Justin Long, Kid Kameleon, Kyle Geiger, Maetrik, Matthew Dear, Merrick Brown, Mike Dearborn, Miles Tilmann, Outputmessage, Punisher, Ripley, Ryan Crosson, Safety Scissors, Sassmouth, Scape One, Seth Troxler, Shiva, Signaldrift, Someone Else, Superpitcher and UFO!.
