Adored by crowds worldwide, Steve has taken his skills as a DJ to over 30 different countries in the last 5 years & to over 150 shows just last year alone. Steve’s talent as a DJ is only matched by his proficiency as a producer with releases on such labels as, Ultra Records, Ministry of Sound, Black Hole Recordings, Flamingo Recordings, Spinnin Records & Atlantic Records. Steve has released 5 full length albums with multiple #1 records on Beatport.com and is also credited for having the 1st song ever sold on Beatport.com. Steve along with DJ Bam Bam under their alias Dirty Werk have recently done remixes for Janet Jackson, Daddy Yankee, Enrique Iglesias, Bebe Rexha, Ariana Grande & Kygo. Their latest original release titled “Stand Up” hit #1 on the Billboard Dance Club Chart along with having multiple #1 remixes achieve this honor. He has also just recently won Back to Back awards in 2017 for “Best Rise & Drop!” & 2018 for “Best Remix Collaboration” at the Remix Awards which take place at Miami Music Week.

Fresh off his "No Small Order" US tour, singer/rapper/producer pausemc is already back with a new record. This time he has teamed up with Beluga Heights/Universal Music Group producer, Travis Margis (Nykee Heaton, Sean Kingston, Jason Derulo) to produce a 5 track EP, titled "Blue".
 
Put simply, pausemc is remarkable. One would be hard-pressed find many artists who rap with the style and finesse that he does and then can turn and sing the phonebook. While enduring success in their own right, one thing his past two albums haven't highlighted as much is his depth; as a multi-talented artist, as well as a writer/lyrical content. "Blue" digs deep and at times is painfully honest, pulling from personal experiences -- struggles with failure, drug addiction, broken relationships, a violent past, self hatred -- in attempt to put the pieces back together, move forward and grow.
 
His most recent album, No Small Order, has received an overwhelming amount of support from college radio stations around the country with heavy rotation at 96+ stations. The album has charted in the top ten of CMJ's Hip Hop Chart and ranked as high as #4 on Canada's !Earshot chart. Other notables include landing song placements in video game Saints Row IV, an assortment of TV stations (Showtime, Oxygen, ESPN, CBS), movies ("The To-Do List", "King Jack"), and countless overseas advertisements.

Since moving to Chicago from Romania at age 17, Lex Da Funk has dropped his brand of techy, progressive house beats to audiences across the city and across the world. What began as residency at Chicago’s intimate Martini Ranch has evolved into a production and performance career that takes influence from the likes of Bad Boy Bill, Mixin Marc and Alex Peace, to name a few.

“I am always experimenting with new sounds”, says Lex, who started his music career at only eight years old. Classically trained on piano and violin, he arrived in Chicago in the year of 2000 with love for trance and dance music. Soon after, the thriving scenes embodied by clubs such as Spybar and Crobar guided him in a new creative direction. “Chicago house changed my life,” says Lex, who, inspired by the nightly beats, realized he wanted to make music instead of just spin it. By the time he was 19, Lex had launched his own studio with only a laptop and a pair of headphones.

By 2007, Lex was producing his chunky, tribal grooves among Chicago’s top house music talent. Original releases on Mixin Marc’s Movement Music, Tom Stephan’s Chumbomundo, Roger Sanchez’s Stealth Records and Robbie Rivera’s Juicy Music labels brought Lex’s sound to the forefront of Chicago house music audiences. Additional releases on Cr2 Records (Mark Brown MYNC Project) and the esteemed Ultra Records flaunt the chunky, vibe that Lex works best.

“I was always attracted to the word “funk”, muses Lex. “Funky clothes, funky music, funky lifestyle” in a few words, I’m always searching for something “different,” he says.

More recently, that search has led him to international gigs at Portugal’s Club Espinho, New York’s Club Cielo and Chicago dance institutions such as Spybar, Soundbar, Crobar and Level.

In addition to past original tracks and remix work, Lex continues to his established relationship with Chicago’s mainstay producers. Today he is roster member of Chicago’s celebrated Menage Management Collective.

“Music itself drives me to continue my music production” it will always be a part of my lifestyle. As long as it’s different, it will always be better"

Multi-instrumentalist songwriter & producer Daniel Kushnir, a prolific ramblin’ man with a chameleon-like sense of composition, has recorded five albums since embarking as a solo artist in 2012. His latest offering, Buffalo Thunder, inspired by life in the Sierras of northern California, Kushnir strips down bare: acoustic guitar, mouth harp, light percussion, and a vocal delivery stuck between a sneer and a smile. 

He leans towards classic bluesmen Son House and Lightin’ Hopkins, extending the range of acoustic blues with the modern touch of a professional songwriter.

The blues comes naturally to someone with the right life experience. A natural born storyteller, his tunes embellish on autobiographical subject matters--the motives, impulses, and gratitudes that stem from time spent down-and-out in Los Angeles.

His initial foray into acoustic blues occurred several years back, living in Venice, California, teaching himself guitar, harmonica, and flute while taking public transportation up and down Pacific Coast Highway between his studio space and his day job.

In his earlier days, Kushnir told stories in syncopated verse, inspired by ‘90s Bay Area hip-hop artists from his adolescence. When an old tenant left a few crates of Delta blues, classic rock deep cuts, and jazz records in his Venice apartment, Kushnir absorbed them inside out. These records would prove to be great inspiration and have a heavy influence on his efforts thereafter.  Efforts that have proven good enough for International Songwriting honors, spots on network television, major motion pictures and video games.

Kushnir has spent a good amount of time on the road since the release of his acoustic record in 2015. Nothing Left to Give, an LP in the styling of ‘70s-era songsmiths like Jim Croce and Leon Russell, has led to 3 national tours, over 60 cities and the maturation into a performer who can control a room with an effortless grace.

Veteran songwriting chops and confidence behind the six-string define the latest from Kushnir. Self-recorded live with a just ribbon microphone through a tube preamp wherever he could find a quiet room, his songs deliver without distraction--from the heart, and with lots of guts.
