-DJ DENA

Dena has been spinning for 16 years. In that time, she has gained an incredible reputation as one of the very best. Her mixing is seamless. Whomever the audience, she consistently creates intense energy. Her talents are astounding! Dena also produces her own music. She has had a track signed to Nervous Records NYC entitled "The Music", and is well known for her remix of "Mommy Dearest", which was signed to Subculture records. She has also completed remixes of "From the Inside" for Giola Bruno. Dena continues to create original tracks at her professional recording studio along with partner Brian Silva.

-RICHIE LADUE

"Richie" Rich LaDue has been spinning in and around the Boston area for ten years. Got his start at WZBC doing a late night mix show which led to dj work in various Boston night clubs. His high energy style has gotten him regular guest work at Pump in Miami and various BBCM events in Montreal. In his own words: "I find it difficult to stand out from other DJs because I find dance music to be very similar. That is why I like to work really fast, and let the crowd know that by putting songs on top of each other. I think it helps to get the crowd pumped up if they think 'He is trying to turn me out!' I want the audience to be turned out, surprised, and shocked. People may like me or dislike my selections but they cannot say I am lazy."

-CHRIS COX

Chris Cox defies labels, but he has earned enough of them. As a Grammy-nominated producer, enormously successful remixer, chart-topping solo artist, globetrotting DJ and Grammy winning label owner, he has made his mark in so many ways that restricting him to one title seems foolish. He has concocted nothing short of a formula for dance music world domination. Chris’ recent accomplishments speak for themselves. Grammy-nominated producer of Cher in 2004. Remixer/Producer of 36 #1 Billboard Dance Chart hits. Two time winner of “Remixer Of The Year” at the International Dance Music Awards in Miami. “Underground 12” Single Of The Year” winner at the International Dance Music Awards in Miami. Hit remixes for Janet Jackson, Michelle Branch, and Hilary Duff.

-MIKE CRUZ

DJ Mike Cruz has been spinning professionally for over ten years, Cruz began his DJ career like countless others, playing records as a teenager in his Rockland County, New York bedroom. "Music is my life, tribal is my soul," laughs Mike. It's evident that whether he's turning out club goers on the dance floors of his residencies, remixing records for today's top dance music artists or writing and producing #1 Billboard dance hits, DJ / producer / remixer Mike Cruz continually welcomes the challenges of his critics rising to each occasion proving that he's here to stay with no holds barred.

-CRAIG MITCHELL

cRAIGmITCHELL, a.k.a. oLIVERtWISTED, a founding member of the chart-topping production team The Orange Factory, fathered and cultivated the dance music scene in Burlington, Vermont, where he went to Saint Michaels College after moving from Saginaw Michigan...near the birthplace of techno, Detroit, Michigan. With over 18 years behind the decks, cRAIG has served as a resident at New York City's legendary Tunnel and has played the country's most celebrated venues and club nights. He has rocked crowds alongside such tastemakers as Chris Fortier, Peter Rauhofer, Honey Dijon and Tom Stephan (Superchumbo), amongst others. One experience with cRAIG behind the tables and belting out one of his tracks LIVE, while dancing continuously in the booth and you'll understand why his shows are so well attended and received. Unlike many of today's DJ's who are so focused on the Mix, which IS important, but they forget about the VIBE. cRAIG is not just a DJ, he is a performer.

-Chad Jack

Chad Jack With the field of house music DJs continuing to expand exponentially, it’s become increasingly difficult for any one talent to stand out. That is, of course, unless you’re Chad Jack. In what almost seems like overnight, this extremely gifted young DJ/producer has infiltrated New York’s formidable nightlife scene with his brilliant remix work and recurring gigs at three of the city’s most popular nightclubs, Roxy, Avalon (f/k/a Limelight), and Spirit.
Undeniably destined for superstar status, Chad’s vigorous live performances and sophisticated studio productions transcend the dance floor, inspiring awe and cultivating a diverse following of revelers around the world.

-JOE GAUTHREAUX

For Joe Gauthreaux, DJ-ing is a journey.

Every time he steps into the DJ booth, Gauthreaux forges a path through a diverse musical landscape, guiding throngs of party-goers through peaks and valleys of soulful funk, progressive rhythms, tribal drums, disco house, and melodic, driving trance. Gauthreaux has made the trip countless times, though he never takes the same road twice; each outing behind the turntables represents an excursion into uncharted territory, and those of us on his dance floor trust Gauthreaux's keen instincts.

-MANNY LEHMAN

Manny Lehman is a native New Yorker, born in Manhattan and raised in the Bronx. From the time he was young, he took to rhythm driven music and when he was old enough, he frequented clubs such as the Paradise Garage, Studio 54, and the Starship. It was at the Paradise Garage that he discovered the sounds of Larry Levan and his enthusiasm for the DJ and music was solidified. Lehman worked at the famous New York record shop, Vinyl Mania, selling records to the likes of Hex Hector and Junior Vasquez. He started doing remixes for the Vinyl Mania label as well as Polydor. In the early to mid-'80s, Lehman DJed at New York hot spots like the Palladium and Fun House. The experience and knowledge he gained from pushing records lead to a job as Director of Dance Promotions for A&M Records.

-ROLAND BELMARES

One fateful night in Austin, 1996, a young man found himself surrounded by pulsing music, flashing strobe lights, thousands of sweaty men and a whole lot of fake smoke. He instantly fell in love. The event was Meltdown, and the kid was Roland Belmares. He instantly knew he had to figure out a way to channel this amazing energy. That was the night Roland Belmares decided to become a DJ. So began Belmares' humble origins - playing pool parties and minor venues across Austin, slowly building a name for himself as a DJ who takes his art just as seriously whether there are twenty or two thousand people on the dance floor. The incredible impact Belmares made on audiences at both Meltdown and Perfect Day secured him a position on the discerning partygoer's hot list of circuit DJs.

-BRETT HENRICHSEN

Brett has always had a passion for dance music. Working by day as a Marketing Specialist for IBM, Brett spent nights in clubs and record stores watching and learning from top DJ's and listening to his favorite style of music: high energy, vocal and progressive dance music.. In 1997, Brett was frustrated to learn that the vast majority of music he was hearing in the clubs was not available for purchase by the general public. This led him to start the CD compilation series MASTERbeat in an effort to make dance mixes available to more than just the nightclub DJ. The series proved to be immensely popular and led Brett to leave the corporate world to start his own independent record label, Trax Recording.

-TONY MORAN

Over the years, Tony Moran has been a major contributor to the dance and pop music scene. Whether as a music editor, record producer, songwriter, singer or DJ, he has stayed on top of his game, exhibiting time and time again that his creativity is unrestricted.

“ I don't try to reinvent myself. I work at making music and playing music because I love it. I don't set boundaries, nor do I allow them be built around me,” explains Tony. “I go where the music takes me.”

-RALPHI ROSARIO

Because of his love for music and his need to share it with others, Ralphi Rosario began spinning records for friends at house and school parties in the late ‘70’s. Almost a quarter of a century later, he still spins for legions of friends at massive gatherings around the globe in such nations as Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Spain, Austria, Portugal, Canada, and others. His acumen as a DJ for the dance floor is undeniable. To this day, he maintains a DJ residency in his hometown Chicago.

Music and dance were always a part of Micky´s life. He ended his Ballet career in 2004 and through his friendship with Junior Vasquez he decided to peruse his DJ career. His Career took off to an international level rapidly.

-DJ TRAINWRECK

If you happened to stumble on to a dance floor and spot DJ TRAINWRECK is in the booth, something has seriously gone wrong! First seek ear plugs, then find the nearest bartender and start drinking yourself silly! He will play everything and anything (except Boy George!) He has no regard for BPM's or sense of style, taste or genre. This is the classic example of an event producer's ego about to burst! This Keoki wanna be has been intoxicated by his own adrenaline and endorphins to a high that only Keith Richards has endured. Try to look pas the sound FX of trains crashing as he uses them often to mask hi inability to mix, and bare with him as the dance floor may go silent from time to time, but he will be enjoying the music through his headset!

But Then again that's how Great things Happen!
