Mikael Fritts – electric coma productions / Breakbeat Massive
Rising from the DJ grave to play his first live set in 12 years, this could can only go right or very wrong. Based out of Charlotte, Mikael spent most of his time trainspotting DJ’s from Florida, NYC, and somehow parts of Europe. Be prepared for a mixture of breakbeat, progressive house, trance, and god only knows what else. A long ago denizen of venues from The Baha, Firestone, The Tree House, The Edge, and somehow The Ministry of Sound. He now calls Crown Station home. Be prepared for a trip back to genre bending sounds from the mid-1990’s, West Coast to East Coast to No Coast. This will not be a set as much as a state of mind… a soundscape to make you, you.
Chuck Martin – Occam’s Razor / Noetic Productions
Chuck Martin started playing in Charlotte, North Carolina in the early nineties and has been a DJing ever since. Once a member of the Balance Promote Group and one of the founding members of Progressive Collective he has been a member of the underground scene and helped bring promote and bring some of the biggest names in underground music to Charlotte. He has played along such luminaries as Sasha, Digweed, Hybrid, and the list goes on. Here playing some of greatest songs and memories from the nineties, we would like to welcome back to the booth for an old school set, Chuck Martin.
Billy von Dail
Not much is known about this dj. Some say he only exists in myth, others insist he pulled the “I own the place” card to get on the bill. Time will tell… hopefully?
PINCH DJ!
Billy had some stuff that he needed to deal with so we let him off the hook and asked Melodious Funk to come in to pinch DJ for us. Thankfully, he said yes.
Melodious Funk – MOVE / SOUL Gastrolounge
For over twenty four years Melodious Funk has been doing his part to keep the house music scene in the Queen City of Charlotte alive and breathing. At a young age growing up in the clubs, he realized he had a love for dance music and the Dj’s that moved the dance floors. Taking in all styles of music he realized at the time that the House sounds coming from Chicago was the sound that spoke to him. With early influences of Mark Farina, and Gene Farris he started to craft a House Sound of his very own. Since that time he has held residencies at the following clubs over the years: 618, Liquid Lounge, LAVA, EDEN, TONIC, and currently he can be found at SOUL Gastrolounge as well as hosting MOVE parties. Over the years Melodious Funk has opened for talents such as as Mark Farina, Gene Farris, Mark Grant, Colette, Jesse Saunders, King Britt, Joe Pompeo, DBOW, Frankie Bones, J Paul Ghetto, Doc Link, EMAN, Robbie Hardkiss, Corduroy Mavericks, Real Time Hand Motion, DJ Dan, Robb Swinga, and Golf Clap just to name a few. Always pushing the boundaries of House music for the love of anything that is HOUSE!
