  Spinning: Hex Hector

  Tickets: $25 at the door

Hex Hector started DJing at the age of 14 with a Hip-Hop group he had formed called Little Man Crew. His good friend Robert Clivillés (from C+C Music Factory) helped him to step in the remix industry with a first remix experience on a LISA LISA track. For this first shot, he teamed up with programmer Darrin Friedman with whom he later made a few remixes under the name of SPIKE PRODUCTIONS.

Next step was his collaboration, back in 1996, with Bobby Guy and Ernie Lake (a.k.a. SOUL SOLUTION) on a track called "The Lover That You Are" by PULSE. This remix got played by great DJs such as JR Vasquez, Franckie Knuckles and Jonathan Peters and caught the attention of famous Arista A&R Hosh Gureli who hired the team to remix TONI BRAXTON's "Un-Break My Heart".

They applied their TRIBAL PERCUSSIVE sound over Toni's voice and the remix became a huge success. Hex's career was launched. He then created his own label : GROUND CONTROL PRODUCTIONS and teamed up with talented programmer MAC QUAYLE with who he built his first masterpieces. His 1997 remix of DEBORAH COX's "Things Just Ain't The Same" is commonly pointed out as the one which offered recognition as a top remixer to Hex and a club Diva condition to Deborah.To satisfy the increasing request for remixes, Hex teamed up with another programmer : Desi "DEZROK" Caruso, as far back as 1998. Him and MAC QUAYLE became his two full-time partners.

Since then, HEX HECTOR has been producing stunningly brilliant remixes for many artists of the likes of WHITNEY HOUSTON, DEBORAH COX, ARETHA FRANKLIN, DIANA ROSS, LISA STANSFIELD, GEORGE MICHAEL, JENNIFER LOPEZ, GLORIA ESTEFAN and many more

DJ JRNY - Miami Beach has long been recognized as a creative playground for up and comers in the entertainment industry. Many of today's biggest stars in the Music and DJ scene were discovered while honing their trade in its legendary nightclubs. Striving to follow in the footsteps of such luminaries as Danny Tenaglia and Victor Calderone comes South Florida native, DJ JRNY.

Jose Reyes, producing under the acronym JRNY (pronounced 'Journey'), was born in Puerto Rico in 1974 but spent much of his teen years living in Chicago, Miami and New York. Showing an affinity for the underground punk lifestyle early on, Jose, who taught himself how to play drums and guitar and was invited to join several garage bands over the course the 80's and early 90's. During that time, he learned the essentials of song writing and the music industry in general. That strong foundation would eventually assist him in obtaining a recording contract with one of today's most sought after producers and would land him coveted residencies at South Beach's most selective hot spots.

Jose has been a staple of the South Beach scene since the heydays of the legendary Liquid Nightclub where he was first introduced to Madonna's producer and DJ to the stars, Victor Calderone. Victor was a driving force behind Jose's will to create music and was a great source of support and inspiration throughout. In 2000, one of Jose's first remix attempts, Celeda's "The Underground", caught Victor's ear and was subsequently featured in his White Party set. Word of the mix spread quickly and eventually got the attention of Peter Rauhofer who owned the recordings label, Star 69 Records. Peter, who had just won a Grammy award for Remixer of the year, recognized the upcoming talent and was curious to hear more from the young producer. A collaboration with longtime associate Mitch Amtr@k resulted in the underground smash 'Alright! Strobelight!' which Peter signed immediately and subsequently resulted in Jose's first hit recording. The track entered Billboard as #3 Breakout in January 2002. The label was thirsty for more.

While in New York finalizing work on "Strobelight", Jose spent spare time working on new productions. An aquaintance had slipped him a mesmerizing vocal from another Miami resident, Ceevox. The vocal was a cover version of the Gladys Knight classic 'My Imagination'. Ceevox's powerful vocal prowess inspired JRNY and in just 3 days, Jose would complete what would be his first billboard hit. The mix was an instant smash and the song stayed in the Billboard Dance Chart's top 10 for over 7 weeks peaking at number 3. Additional support from DJ's and Producers like Junior Vasquez and Thunderpuss helped "My Imagination" became one of the biggest dance songs of the year and put JRNY's name on the map for good.

Soon, every club in South Beach wanted this hot new Producer behind their turntables. Calls came pouring in from the promoters of the cities most elite party spaces. JRNY is currently a monthly resident at both Crobar's hugely popular Anthem on Sundays and Friday at Level for Federation/1235 on South Beach's infamous Washington Avenue. He has been the headliner for Jeffrey Sanker at Miami's Billboard and will also be featured by Jeffrey at this years Gay Days at Disney, Orlando. Jose has also been invited on several occasions to open for Peter Rauhofer at the world famous Roxy nightclub in New York City and has been a guest of Victor Calderone as well, opening for him at events all over South Florida. Other dates include LA's Palace for 'Spin', and Fire Island's legendary Pines Tea Dance.

The future looks bright for JRNY. There are many new productions in the works including follow up's to both "My Imagination" and "Alright! Strobelight!" and the release of his newest production " I Give You Light". He will also be the next DJ to beat mix a compilation for Peter Rauhofer's "This is Star 69" series and plans have been made for a full length LP of new material sometime in the near future. Upcoming live tour dates will include some of the most sought after DJ gigs in Miami, New York, Fire Island, Los Angeles, Toronto and Israel.

Jose continues to push forward in his attempts of obtaining his dream of world club domination. It is a calling that cannot go unanswered. "There is nothing more fulfilling than knowing thousands of people are being moved by your music and you're making a living out of doing what you love. If it all had to end tomorrow, at least you had the chance to make people happy" Hopefully, we'll be taking this JRNY for years to come.

Ivano Bellini - Born in Lausanne, Switzerland Ivano had music in his blood. Ivano Bellini was among a small crop of European DJs to hit the chic South Beach circuit.

At the time the only place to go and hear the latest house music was the gay nightclubs. Ivano wanted to educate his audience on the hottest music and bring that same feeling of the gay clubs to the rest of the South Beach scene makers.

Soon he was playing at legendary South Beach nightclubs such as "Le Loft", "Van Dome", "Dune", "Bash", "The Living Room", "BarRoom" & "320". Ivano Bellini's fierce beats attracted a celebrity following as well.

Stars like Madonna, Prince, Leonardo DiCaprio, Al Pacino, George Clooney, Jack Nicholson, Mick Jagger, Puff Daddy, Dennis Rodman, Marilyn Manson & Lennox Lewis, just to name a few, came to hear his signature sounds.

His fame crossed back the Atlantic and he started to be eagerly requested by many European clubs and he flew back regularly to the old continent to spin in clubs such as "It" in Amsterdam, "MAD" in Switzerland, "VIP" in St. Tropez, Zenith@"Pacha" in Ibiza and "Via Notte" in Corsica to name a few.

These were some of the most sizzling nightclubs in Europe that to this day still remain destination points for the world's jet set. His travels even brought him to countries like Colombia, Chili, Ecuador and Bali. He also toured the US on a regular basis to appear in clubs such as "Glow" & "Crobar" (Chicago), "Plush" & "Velvet Lounge" in Atlanta, "South Beach" in Minneapolis, "Rio" in Las Vegas, "True" and the legendary "Studio 54" in New York.

His numerous gigs gave him the opportunity to work alongside other world renowned DJs such as Moby, Danny Tenaglia, Carl Cox, Paul Van Dyk, DJ Tiesto, Deep Dish, Laurent Garnier, Timo Maas, Roger Sanchez, Armand Van Helden, Danny Rampling, Robbie Rivera, Josh Wink, DJ Jean, DJ Pippi, and others.

DJ Alyson Calagna- Calagna discovered a love for music at an early age. Part of her childhood was spent living in Aberdeen, Scotland at which time she was first exposed to house music. This music sparked something inside of her and from the first moment she heard it, she was hooked. By the age of 16, she was living in Lafayette, Louisiana when she found a natural calling to the turntables. Within a short time, she was granted the opportunity for a residency at Images Nightclub due to her increasing popularity and sound. At Images she developed her playing style and honed her skills with the tables. In 1998, she won second place in the DDK spin off in Atlanta, Georgia and had a seat on the panel for the Nightclub and Bars Convention in Orlando.

In April 1999, she won first place in the WPOW Power 96.5 spin off in Miami, Florida. Her prize was a spot on a weekly radio show where she became a Hot Mix DJ showcasing her talents for the residents of Miami. Ready to return home to Louisiana, she accepted a residency at Club 735 in New Orleans.

After one year at Club 735, the buzz about this powerhouse talent began to spread and as a result, she was booked at various nightclubs on the East Coast. This exposure was just the beginning for the now jet setting jock.

The dance floors she has conquered include: Salvation-South Beach, Eagle-Pittsburgh, Fusion-Atlanta, Crobar-South Beach, Heaven-Orlando, Velvet Nation-Washington D.C., Release-San Francisco, and Level-South Beach. She has also spun at Circuit Events such as Change of Seasons in Atlanta, Masquerade in Minnesota, Southern Decadence and Halloween in New Orleans, White Party and Winter Party in Miami.

She is currently a Billboard reporter and has been voted Up and Coming DJ for 2002 by Circuit Party Insanity. Alyson has made a name for herself by infusing her signature long overlays, fierce sampling and seamless looping to create a style of her own. She also uses her strong intuition to connect with the dance floor and atmosphere of the room. Alyson's ability to work the EQ's and her unique way of adding effects on the fly proves that she has what it takes to be a future producer.

From global sensual grooves to manic Latin rhythms, this up and coming DJ is making her mark on the music world.

David Knapp - A resident of New York City, David currently calls Atlanta his new home. After holding a residency at both Roxy and Limelight in New York City, David accepted an exclusive Saturday night residency at TWILO in the autumn of 1999, where he played monthly with Junior Vazquez until TWILO closed in May, 2001.

Although David is mostly recognized for his multi-layered anthemic vocals, you're always sure to get some one-of-a-kind, on-the-spot productions that will blow away even the most sophisticated ear. Playing a musical program that always pleases everyone in his audience, David is often referred to as, "The People's DJ."

David's most famous credits include: Miami White Party at Vizcaya (12 yrs), Montreal's Black & Blue Military Ball, The Saint Black Party, Amnesia's Annual New Year's Party, Pensacola's Memorial Day Weekend, Miami's Winter Party Weekend, Chicago's IML, San Francisco's Hell Ball, Palm Springs White Party Weekend, Disney's Beach Ball at Typhoon Lagoon, New York's Pride Pier Dance, and New Orleans Halloween. When not playing major Circuit parties, David is busy nearly every weekend at gigs in Washington DC, Miami, Toronto, Denver, Dallas, New Orleans, San Francisco, Boston, Montreal, and Atlanta, to name a few. His international credits include Amsterdam, Mykonos, Sydney, Tel Aviv, Tokyo, and Costa Rica.

David's several CDs include: The White Party-Anniversary Edition, The White Party 2000, White Party Party 2001, Global Grooves Dignity, and Global Groove: Livin' Out Loud.

David was considered one of the six top and most influencial DJs in America by Gentlemen's Quarterly Magazine, where he was featured in the July, 2000 issue. He was also featured in a film documentary on Global DJs in 2002 that included peers Danny Tenaglia, Junior Vazquez, Eddie X and Victor Calderone.

Tony Moran - Tony Moran's career began in 1981 when he and friend Albert Cabrera teamed to create a whole new step in the record making process. Together they were The Latin Rascals, whose re-edited versions of hit songs spliced together enjoyed major air-play on New York dance radio WKTU's popular mix show.

The radio exposure led to a deal from Shakedown Studios who hired the duo to restructure popular hit radio songs into viable dance club hits. Shortly thereafter, they were contracted by another studio, Fever Records, to write and produce a song for one of their new acts, The Cover Girls. The result was "Show Me", a song that not only became Tony Moran's first Top 40 gold record but also helped to usher in the "freestyle" era of music. This opened the doors for new artists including TKA, Safire ("Boy I've Been Told"), and Lisette Melendez ("Together Forever"), all of whom benefited from the skillful hands of Moran and Cabrera.

Tony Moran credits his freestyle background for the pop sensibility he incorporates into his music today. "Playing music that generates a feel-good energy is what I love about being a DJ/mix master," explains Tony. He eschews the strict underground house mentality preferred by many of his contemporaries and instead prefers to impart his remixes and productions with a hook laden commercial appeal that is both radio friendly and dance floor ready. Tony measures a successful dance floor with the number of hands in the air - not just dancing, but singing along too.

"Dance music is where my heart is. Over the last year I've worked on developing dance music that is also pop music. Working with artists like Donna Summer (Epic Records), Kevin Aviance (Emerge Records) and Becky Baeling (MCA) has been really exciting for me."

Tony recently completed the score for the independent film Circuit, which features the recently released title track "How Many" by Taylor Dayne. He has released three mix CDs from Centaur Records: Global Groove: House, Global Groove: A Deeper Heart and Party Groove: Hotlanta which was released in September, 2002: and his compilation CD, Rise, which was released in December 2002. He also remains busy writing new material for Luther Vandross, Celine Dion, Barry Manilow and Jon Secada.

DJ Robert Rodriguez - Born in 1966, Cuban/Puerto Rican Robert Rodriguez has had a love for music for as long as he can remember. When he was growing up music was a big part of his mother’s life and it soon became his. Robert spent most of his life living in Miami Beach.

Robert was mostly a self taught DJ. Before he ever stepped foot in a DJ booth he started his career playing for private parties as a mobile DJ. Robert began working at The Underground record store in Miami and there learned a lot about music and the industry. After The Underground he moved on to the world famous Y&T Records right in the heart of Miami Beach. Home of the Winter Music Conference, Y&T Records was where Robert assisted some of the Nations top DJ’s like Danny Tenaglia and Peter Rauhofer.

Robert’s first club gig was for The Waterfront where he played Latin House Music, it was there that Robert built an amazing night that later got him gigs at Splash, Ozone, Gadyva, Cactus, Gspot, Escuelita just to name a few. Robert was the originator of Café con Leche nights in Miami.

Getting away from the Latin side of music, Robert started to develop his style in house music. He remembers Peter Rauhofers productions being an inspiration to him in the beginning of his career.

Robert would describe his sound to be a mixure of progressive, Underground House and Tribal. He has been like a permanent fixture in Miami’s club scene for over 10 years. He has been a headliner for some of Miami’s world known clubs such as Billboard Live, Salvation, Level and Liquid. Places outside of Miami include The Copa, The Saint and The Sea Monster in Fort Lauderdale. Robert has also rocked the house in Boston and New Orleans and many more. Some of Robert’s most current residencies included Steel and Pump Afterhours and is currently holding residencies at Score, Club Maze Sunday morning parties and Unbound Afterhours.

Robert is relentless; music is his way of life. As a father he is successfully able to juggle his life at home and his life at work. Many would say that Robert is known for been very confidant and his mixing to be flawless. He has an extremely loyal following and plays for the people. Robert has the amazing ability to read the dance floor, sending his dance floor into the ultimate dance experience and always leaving them wanting more.

Robert is currently working on the next step in his career. He will start working on music production. It is clear that with the years of experience, talent and dedication Robert’s productions will all be incredible.

DJ Adien -What started out as a hobby for South African born and raised Adien has now turned into a full-fledged passion and obsession. Her African flavour shines through in meticulously woven sets of tribal, progressive and tech-house.

The transition from a career as a marine geophysicist to a house music DJ might seem like a reach but the passion is fueled by the same fire that burns in this African Heart.

After recently relocating from Vancouver, BC to Miami Beach, Florida her music career was jump started by an invitation to spin at the highly sought after National DJ Showcase for Winterparty ’03. Adien has also performed at numerous world renowned clubs such as Space 34, Avalon and Spi Club.

After merely spinning seriously a little over a year Adien’s rapidly growing success has built her a reputation for staying true to the sound of the underground, infiltrating and touching the very core that moves your soul.

In her short-lived musical career Adien has played at several major parties including Winterparty ’03, Summercamp (Provincetown) ’03, Toronto Pride ’03 and Will Gorges’ Blackball in LA. Highlights of upcoming gigs include the Karamu (South Africa), Winterparty and Summercamp in Provincetown (July 4th 2004).

Adien’s music is broadcasted globally on Partylist.com

DJ Bill Kelly - Bill Kelly, JR's name and reputation (Miami's premiere DJ and Director of - Winter Music Conference) have become synonymous with the development of world renowned dance artists since 1972.

Bill started his music industry affiliation as a DJ at the Warehouse VIII in Miami.

Monty Q - A self-described “stealth Scorpio”, Monty Q enjoys sneaking up on an unsuspecting dancefloor with a trainload of melodic, high-energy music. Averse to categorization in any one particular style, Q enjoys creating an over-the-top mood for the moment, charting a journey into ethereal trance as easily as he summons restless souls into a tribal, Latin-flavored frenzy. Ever mindful that the purpose of a night out is to have a good time, he particularly enjoys playing uplifting epic house.

His current home residencies are at Miami’s Crobar and Fort Lauderdale's Coliseum nightclub. Q also appears quarterly in Columbus, Chicago, Toronto, and Washington D.C. Available on BMG/Logic Records in March, the release John Blair Party, Volume 5-DJ Monty Q showcases Q’s trademark style.

A German citizen on American soil since age two, Monty Q began his DJ career in 1984, serving as music director for the University of Miami radio station, WVUM-FM, and playing in small clubs. Q moved to Miami Beach, Florida, in the early 1990’s, building his reputation at well-known clubs like Amnesia, the Warsaw Ballroom, and 821. In 1997, Q was tapped to provide the music for Gloria Estefan’s 40th birthday bash at her Miami home, and and also played a subsequent album release party for 10,000 thrown by the Estefans and Epic Records on Miami Beach's Lincoln Road.

Taking on residency at South Beach’s Score nightclub in 1998, Monty Q turned up the heat for a no-holds-barred T-Dance, earning the attention of Miami’s FOX television affiliate and a host of print publications. The last four years have included engagements at some of the premier gay nightspots in the United States, Australia, Europe, and South America, including Probe, Factory, and Orbit in Los Angeles, Limelight, Roxy, and Twilo in New York, the legendary Pavilion on Fire Island, Miami’s Salvation, Toronto's Fly and the Nation and Tracks nightclubs in Washington and Denver.

Circuit credits include some of the gay circuit’s crown jewel events, including the White Party Sunset T in Palm Springs, Pines 99, Winter Party 2000, Columbus Red Party 2001 and New York's Heritage of Pride Pier Dance in 2001.

Peter Rauhofer - When it comes to achievements within the worldwide dance music scene, Peter Rauhofer has few equals. A lauded producer, remixer, DJ and label owner, he has spent the last fifteen years building his own magical mini-empire.

Thanks to his Midas touch in all departments he currently represents a solid part of the city’s electronic establishment and has been recognized by the global electronic cognoscenti as a true heavyweight in his various fields. After all, who else can say they’ve remixed everyone from Madonna to Yoko Ono, enjoyed a multitude of massive club and chart hits, run a world famous record label, hosted one of New York City’s most thrilling club nights AND won a prestigious Grammy award for their studio talents?

Such success is perhaps even more impressive given that Peter was born and raised in Vienna, Austria at a time when the music industry there was severely restricted and musical innovation and entrepreneurship rare. But although the main musical legacy of his country had been classical (Strauss) and mainstream pop (Falco), an underground dance scene did emerge in the early eighties.

His efforts were duly rewarded when one day a record store near his school offered him a job. Not long after he began working for premier Austrian imprint Gig records. Through the store he started to get turned on to the sound of the early house and techno records coming in from Chicago and Detroit.

He began to DJ at Vienna’s only real underground club U4, playing his underground sounds to “a mix of punks, mods, poppers and all sorts smoking joints…it was dirty, underground and fucked up, but it was stylish too.”

While he was busy introducing dance music to Vienna, he was also busy manufacturing hit records for Gig, learning to balance mainstream success with underground credibility. Several people he knew were learning their way around studios in Vienna, so Peter hit upon the idea of putting together a compilation which featured local artists. Two of the people he bought into the studio were Kruder and Dorfmeister, who met through Peter for the first time! In fact, Peter’s first attempt at production was a collaboration with Richard Dorfmeister under the pseudonym of Danube Dance, but it was his own hit ‘Let Me Be Your Underwear’ (as Club 69) that made his name back in 1992.

Peter moved to the Big Apple in 1995, with two Club 69 LP’s (‘Adults Only’ and ‘Style’) and several more club and chart successes (“Diva”, “Unique”, “Drama”, “Alright”, “Muscles”, and “Twisted” to name but a few) already under his belt. His first singing was with Tribal America in 1994, but when that label folded he moved to Twisted, recording another album as Size Queen and remixing the likes of Funky Green Dogs and Danny Tenaglia, mostly under the Club 69 banner. As the remix work started to come in from the majors, Peter began using his own name.

He started with the Eurythmics and Depeche Mode and quickly went onto mega-stars like Madonna (‘Nothing Really Matters’, ‘Impressive Instant’, ‘Skin’) and the Pet Shop Boys, with whom he reworked Raze’s 1989 classic ‘Break 4 Love’. In 2000 he won a prestigious Grammy in the Remixer of the Year category, following in the footsteps of veterans like David Morales and Frankie Knuckles.

In 1999, Peter realized another goal: starting his own imprint. Although an independently run operation, Star 69 today boasts the kind of roster that wouldn’t look out of place on a major: Pet Shop Boys, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Yoko Ono, Lula, house diva Suzanne Palmer, and underground sensation Celeda are just some of the artists associated to the label, and there are plenty more signing in the pipeline.

With 40 releases so far from Star 69, things are only going to get bigger as Peter’s focus on the label becomes stronger.

Tracy Young - To make it in the cutting edge and equally cut throat industry of club DJs and music mixers, you have to be versatile, innovative, and adaptable. With her finger on the pulse of partygoers across the Eastern seaboard, DJ Tracy Young proves that she has what it takes to rule over the dance floors across the globe.

Fresh, energetic, and wildly creative, Tracy is frequently sought out by some of America's hottest nightclubs and celebrities to work her magic. Her potent blend of House, Tribal and Dance rhythms started to garner attention over ten years ago when she began her career as a DJ in college in the nation's capital.

Eager to explore the booming Miami music scene and to hone her craft, Tracy left Washington DC for South Beach in 1998. As one of the only female DJs at the time, her sound and look was noticed immediately upon arrival in Miami.

Her big break came when her unique sound caught the ear of nightclub impresario Ingrid Casares, who asked Tracy to DJ at her nightclub, Liquid. Wildly impressed, Ingrid asked Tracy to become Liquid's Friday night resident DJ.

Soon, With a radio show on one of the area's hottest radio stations, Power 96 and a weekly gig at South Beach's trendiest club, Tracy was a sensation; Ocean Drive magazine soon hailed her as the Next Big Thing and TeenPeople featured her for her sense of style.

Tracy would not disappoint. With Ocean Drive, People, and Liquid in her corner, Tracy entered the recording studio to begin remixing and sampling. Two of her first efforts, Enrique Iglesias' "Bailamos" and "Rhythm Divine" received national radio play. She followed up by remixing Simply Red's "Ain't That a lot of Love," "I Don't Know What You Want but I Can't Give it Anymore" by the Pet Shop Boys, Columbia Records' Artist Movida's "Do You Feel Me?" and recently the first single from Stevie Nicks in seven years - "Planets of the Universe" -which found its way to #1 on the Billboard magazine's DANCE charts.

Tracy's talent for remixing has spread quickly throughout the music industry and enticed Cyndi Lauper to request Tracy to remix her new single, "Shine." As of late, Tracy's has remixed the Top 5 worldwide smash "Whenever, Wherever" by Sony Music artist Shakira and Pink's follow-up to her massive #1 hit "Let's Get The Party Started" - "Don't Let Me Get Me", which is soon to be massive as well.

In addition to spending time in the studio, Young is frequently called upon by a veritable who's who of celebrities to DJ their parties, including Lenny Kravitz, Ricky Martin, MTV's House of Style 10th Anniversary Party, MTV's Sisqo's Shakedown, P. Diddy / Sean "Puffy" Combs, Anna Sui, Lauryn Hill, and Madonna, who sought Young out to DJ her Millennium Eve Party.

Madonna was so impressed with Young that she asked her to spin at the premiere of the "Next Best Thing" as well as the record release party for "Music" in Los Angeles and her own nuptials in Scotland. Madonna further rewarded Young for her talent by asking Young to remix three singles, "Music," "Don't Tell Me" and "What It Feels Like for a Girl" from her album "Music". Then when it came time for Madonna to assemble her second greatest hits package - GHV2 - Madonna personally called on Tracy to formulate a medley of the superstar's best tracks.

Tracy's popularity even reached the White House. Former Vice-president Al Gore, asked Tracy to play at a Democratic rally in Miami where she shared the stage with Stevie Wonder, Deborah Cox, and Jon Bon Jovi. In the Fall on 2001, Tracy was called upon by N'SYNC to spin her energizing beats at their South Beach benefit concert.

In 2002 Tracy took a mini tour of Australia where she had the honour of playing at the 2002 Mardi Gras festivities. Tracy has headlined two after parties at Miami's new "hotspot" - Billboard Live, the Easter Party in Palm Springs plus DJ performances in exotic locales like Mexico, Columbia & the Czech Republic.

Such exceptional opportunities speak to Young's astonishing talent and inevitable recognition as one of music's finest, brightest & exciting DJs.

DJ Abel - At the age of thirteen Abel moved to Miami where the fever for the turntables began. In 1978 Abel started helping his friends at some of the high school’s greatest parties taking turns at the tables to see who was better. In 1980 Abel was offered a job at a really high-class nightclub in Miami, on the famous Bickell Avenue. In 1982 Abel was offered even more airtime on the radio station Super Q FM 107. This famous show ran until 1987.

1984 found Abel spinning at the famous "Waterfront". In 1992 the "Paragon" opened and Abel Played on Saturday nights which he described as heaven.

Then in March of ’96 "Salvation" opened and brought Abel in for Saturday nights and created a spectacular impression on the world. The next big thing to happen to Abel was the partnership of Abel and Ralphi Rosario creating the production and mixing team of "Rosabel". Together they have had the opportunity to work with Ottmar Liebert, Gloria Estefan, Donna Summer and others  -Morning party-

DJ Roland Balmares - One fateful night in Austin, 1996, a young man found himself surrounded by flashing strobe lights, thousands of sweaty men and a whole lot of fake smoke. He instantly fell in love. The name of the event was Meltdown, and the kid was Roland Belmares. As he joined the crowd in dancing throughout the night, Belmares realized he could never again return to a world without this energy, these people, this music. After years of feeling like an outsider, he ironically felt immediately integrated among smiling strangers intent only on celebrating life together. He knew he had to figure out a way he could give something in return.

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 hundred people on the dance floor.

It was Belmares' dedicated fine-tuning and attention to such style that eventually caught the ear of Ben Parsley, promoter for two of Austin's biggest circuit events, Perfect Day and, the one that started it all, Meltdown. An expert in the art of identifying talent, Parsley liked what he heard so much that he decided to give Roland a shot at the big leagues. In just one year, Belmares had already achieved his original goal of simply becoming a good DJ. Now it was time to become a great DJ.

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.

Belmares has been called to play several events outside Austin and LA county lines; unforgettable parties located from the hills of San Francisco to the beaches of Miami. Then, of course, there are those major events that can either make or break a burgeoning DJ D names like White Party, Winter Party (Miami), and Fireball (Chicago) among all of which Roland rose to the occasion, delivering audiences the unique sound they had all heard so much about.

With a growing fan base spanning coast to coast, it was only a matter of time before Belmares received recognition from the industry's leading dance labels, including Centaur (Global Groove), Dance One (Dance One) and 4Play Records. The latter having recently released his critically acclaimed club mix for their best-selling Circuit Sessions CD series, which include previous editions mixed by artists like Barry Harris of Thunderpuss, Abel and Manny Lehman.

As for the what lies ahead for Belmares, it appears he's dedicated to dance music beyond simply maintaining his status as one of the scene's top rated DJs. "In the future, I see myself changing with the times; keeping an overall consistency of high energy in my DJ sets. However, I also hope to eventually move into production work and follow in the footsteps of such greats as Ralphi Rosario and Victor Calderone." If that goal sounds out-of-reach, just consider how quickly Belmares realized his dream to become a great DJ. Don't blink D Roland Belmares will be a great producer before you know it.
