This Southside Chicago born and bred dj and producer has been surrounded by different soundscapes. He was exposed to early House and Disco music at a young age, which led him to develop an appreciation for the complexity and layering of Disco and the raw energy and ingenuity behind House music. This love of music led him to begin a now 10 year DJ career that has led him to play events all throughout Chicago. Mero has now taken that passion, knowledge and drive into the studio and started producing his auditory vision of what House music can become. His first single, which was featured on The Gentlemen E.P. from B Natural Recordings, was released in the Fall of 2011. Mero has several upcoming releases on H.A.R.D., 1200 Beats and Chicago House FM as well as some remix and collaboration projects in the near future.

An intense and borderline obsessive obsession with House Music since the late 90's and a supporter in the scene for over half of his life from Northeast Wisconsin, Spike is a DJ and a promotor who is currenty invoved in Re:Fresh Saturdays, Wisconsins ONLY house music monthly event! Growing up in the small city of Manitowoc, Wisconsin a young man began to explore the world of Rave and discovered a new love, House.  In the early 2000s turntables and a mixer were purchased while soul searching and the madness which is known today as Spike Jonze began.

From this point whether it has been helping promote events, just showing up to events, or playing events, you can usually find Mister Jonze lingering somewhere in the vicinity. A strong supporter of his local scene in Green Bay Appleton and Oshkosh, Wisconsin, Having been a part of GBass, Underground Jaxx, DeepHouseLounge and K-0tic Productions, Spike keeps an open mind with music but does not sacrifice his personal love for a classic sound.

Spike Jonze utilizes a diverse, technical, personalized style to take individual master pieces of music from some of the world's most recognized producers in house and form his own mosaic mixes from house music tastes like Jackin', Jazzy, Swing, Classic, Funk, Tech and Deep and anything else in between that might pleasure your ears Depending on the show or mix, different mediums are utilized to paint the mosaic. Quick beat matching, house beat juggles, deep bass blending and razor cutting are just a few of the skills displayed, all done live, no auto stink, no editing, no cheating! Bottom line, Spike Jonze's sets are full of energy that will make you shuffle your feet and move your body to sounds like trumpets, saxophones, pianos while feeling the pound of funky, bumpy bass lines! 

Influences: The list is endless.  All the guys doing it before me and after me.  So many people are involved in delivering the music that this list will continue to grow for a lifetime.  All the producers who make the music for DJ's like myself to mix together properly, new and old school.  While I appreciate a lot of the new sounds, the following list is just a FEW of my early influences in music:

Mark Farina, Daft Punk, Bassment Jaxx, Derrick Carter,Modjo, Stardust, Paul Johnson, Terry Mullan, Stacy Kidd, Doc Martin, Joey Youngman, Inland Knights, Jason Hodges, DJ Heather, DJ Sneak, DJ Dan, Danny Tenaglia, John Aquaviva, Jake Childs, The Flying Almarias (Mark n Karl), The Sound Republic....The List Can Go On...and On..and On...Just like the music :)

And I would also like to thank all the underground label owners and producers out there who continue to bring the heat TODAY.  If you read this, you know who you are.
