Born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio Chris’ DJ career started at the young age of 17 in a hotel bar. Being underage and how that happened is a long but fascinating story but we’ll fast forward to 2018 when he moved to Columbus, Ohio to start a new chapter in his life.
CRUIZE began shortly before his move and that party later evolved into what we know today as FEVER.
FEVER is a monthly (4th Saturday) Queer focused, all-inclusive event at AWOL Bar where Disco, House and Techno reign supreme. Its old – its new and everything in between. When I asked Chris why this night is so important to him he simply replied “I basically wanted to create a safe space for my friends to dance to the music they love…a place for them to just be themselves…its crucial to keep music from yesterday alive especially in a time when 1000 dance songs are released every week”.
This year Chris added a new resident DJ, Melanie Pagani to the roster who we heard on the first installment of the FEVER Mix Series.
Here is Chris’ take on the night he created. It’s a blend of all the genres and sounds he loves going way, way back…a third of the way into the mix he pulls out a couple Tribal America tracks – a label that had a significant influence on him in the mid 90’s. 

Take a listen to CHRIS MERCIER: FEVER MIX SERIES FVR003

Live DJ Mix recorded for Beatmatrix Cleveland Hosted by Darrell Stout

Beatmatrix WRUW Cleveland DJ Mix February 2023 - Logan Boggs

A Sunday afternoon delight from two of techno's most beloved heavy-hitters arrives exclusively on our Soundcloud.

Berlin techno viking and founder of Dystopian Records Rødhåd and the young, accomplished and Mote-Evolver regular Rene Wise have released their 4 hour set recording from March 2023, a huge B2B session that saw the pair delve in and out of eachother’s company for our last Continuum party. They played an extended set during the final Continuum 24+hour party of the season this Spring. 

The session, which started at 4pm as the tail end of the afternoon drew in and went on til 8pm ahead of a closing set from Ben Klock and Marcel Dettmann, proved to be one of our highlights from the event. It's a real treat to be able to share the full recording; smashers from the get-go that takes us through the hard and heavy, to the atmospheric and energetic.

Lock in below and transport to the incomparable energy of Room 1 on a Sunday afternoon. Sometimes, we reckon, there's no place like it.

JASON ALIAS - STILL ECHOING

I took the decks in 1995 during the vibrant years of the Midwest Rave scene.
After moving to Cleveland in 2000, I was given the opportunity to become a resident at Mercury Lounge and Twist Social Club from 2000-2010.

In 2016, I was looking for an creative outlet and founded Cleveland Week:ender, a series meant to create an immersive underground party experience. 

As a producer, I strive to write music that I can play, nothing else. Deep and atmospheric, yet driving and energetic.
