EMC Crew:
Mike Haddad:
As a promoter, Mike was given the opportunity to invite Jet Setting DJs & Producers such as Max Graham, Luke Fair, Dr.Kucho!, Behrouz, The Scumfrog and many others to play alongside him and his partner, Alex Haje. Gleaning production advice and knowledge from Dr.Kucho!, Mike is taking the next step in the natural evolution of the DJ; to produce the music he loves for the masses. This is an experience that will become precious over time with dedication and motivation. "The ability to play music and promote parties is a great accomplishment, but to make and then play your own music is priceless."
Maintaining his residencies is just a fraction of the effort Mike puts into helping shape the DC Dance music movement. Mike and his partners, Alex Haje & Rohan Malhotra, have established themselves as the top House/Progressive House promoters/DJs in the city. With current promotional residencies at Dragonfly and Club Five, these 3 music junkies continue to pave the path in DC that was started by numerous promoters in the past. "Being a DJ, Promoter, and Producer has given me the ability to create something fresh, and fill the musical and social gaps that were in people's lives and in the city".
Royce Haven:
Royce Haven's music roots date back to his early years in NYC where he grew up listening to the electro pop, synth-driven sounds of the 80's and falling in love with the growing movement of Hip-Hop. It was in 89 after he moved to DC where he was first introduced to house music. Royce was given a mix tape by his fellow DJ friend, Omar. He instantly fell in love with the emotional and diverse sounds of Electronic Music. He promised Omar that one day he would also be a DJ. Royce is now fulfilling that promise holding a residencies in DC at Pulse www.pulsedc.com, Dragonfly www.emcdc.com and spinning regularly at Glow, DC , Spank, DC, FIVE, DC and Groovanauts parties in NY. He has also been privileged enough to spin with some of today's hottest DJ's such as 112 Crew, Barry Gilbey, Cor Finjeman, Dean Coleman, Groovefire, Hook, John '00' Flemming, Max Graham and Saeed Younan.
If spinning is not enough, Royce keeps himself busy in his studio working on a EP with collaborations from Samio of Yoshitoshi and J-Punch of Global Underground. He has a diverse sound ranging from house, breaks, tech-house, trance and techno. With his unique sound and talented mixing at the decks he is guaranteed to fill up the energy on any dance floor.
Barry Gilbey:
When house music was born in the late 80s DJs didn?t play just one sound. The concept of a techno DJ, a progressive DJ or a funky house DJ didn?t exist. DJs played a broad spectrum of ass-shaking sounds that rocked dancefloors.
It?s playing that broad spectrum that makes Barry Gilbey an amazing DJ. With a sound that includes everything from deeper house grooves to techno and breaks, most weekends you?ll find him playing underground music to packed dancefloors from Moscow to Kuala Lumpur and Delhi to Krakow.
?I travel all over the world every weekend, playing my own and others? amazing music to thousands of happy faces. It?s a privilege to be able to travel to places hungry to hear new music and see the diverse range of people who come out to hear me play. Whether I?m in Siberia or Singapore the people are surprisingly similar ? they just want to have a good time and I try my hardest to give it to them.?
Music fans will know him for his storming hybrid tech-house-breaks productions on his revered Sheffield-based label, Choo Choo, and from releases under a range of pseudonyms, including: Mara with Sara Whittaker-Gilbey. London Squeak Motif, Finger Fest Inc with tribal-house producer D Ramirez, The Phony MCs with James Mowbray and Pappa & Gilbey with Anthony Pappa
Barry?s productions are played the world over by everyone from Erick Morillo to Deep Dish and Meat Katie to Sasha. With regular mixes appearing on London?s Kiss FM, Ireland?s 2FM and Manchester?s Key 103 and a full DJ schedule in coming months, covering all seven continents, make sure you catch one of his electric sets:
