Once BNice gained a following for his sets of electro house mixed with funky breaks, he decided that the next logical step in his career was production.

T-Phunkee of The Phunktards (down tempo funk) Newport News, VA
VIM recordings, Faction Digital Recordings, Inergy
The Phunktards are two Hampton Roads based breakbeat DJs and producers who are on a mission to rock the dance floor hard with their signature sound.
The Phunktards consist of Hampton Roads Virginia based DJs and producers Travis Bevis (T Phunkee) and Dylan Patrick Smith (DJ Plateau). both come from different EDM backgrounds but have found the love, the passion, and the drive, to make the best sounding breakbeat music available today.
With over 25 years combined experience both artists bring to the production table a unique take on what a breakbeat track should sound like. As a disco house DJ, Travis incorporates a universal appeal to the music by adding a more funky, groovy bass line and a very uplifting sound and approach to writing. Dylan uses his love of trance and his background in classical piano to help structure their music to give the overall sound a polished, well crafted feel. These two producers in the studio make magic every single time they work together.
