Mike Torres, born and raised in Brooklyn, NY has been into music since he can remember. As a NewYorican, he was raised listening to Salsa, Disco, Motown and Funk. His father played percussion and was always listening to the beat!! Once he was older, he eventually branched out into Rock, Reggae, Hip-Hop, House, Freestyle, and anything that sounded good. Music is a feeling. Whether you are from NY, the Caribbean, Europe...wherever you are from, if the beat moves you, than it is good!! House music (ALL types) is my favorite type of music. The energy, the rhythm, the beats!!! move me! But I enjoy playing open format because it lets me enjoy the sounds of the world that move people. DJing for over 25 years, I have learned to appreciate all types of music and enjoy playing music that move people. 

In my career, I have been able to play in venues around NY such as Duvet, Taj, Skyline, High Bar, Katra, Agozar, Moka Lounge, G&G, Vetro to name a few. My goal as a DJ is to make people feel the music the way I do when I hear a beat. If I do that every time I'm out, than to me, I am successful!!!

All is sound, frequency, vibration. Music is our church. 

Sonic profile: percussive, tracky, fundamental frequencies paired with a swirl of liquid soul and tech funk bits.  Live in 2021 with new transmissions conjured from ancient signals.

Rashad McPherson is a performer, composer, & arranger living in NY, NY. Rashad studied music at Berklee College of Music (Boston, MA) and graduated in 2009. While in Boston Rashad traveled throughout New England performing  with his Gospel Music ensemble: DivinePURPOSE. Together, they released two Gospel music recording projects: “More Than I Ever Had”  (2010) & “Better Things, Brighter Days” (2015). 

Though Rashad took time away from his artistry to pursue master’s degrees, in 2018 he was re-introduced to New York City’s independent artist scene when he co-headlined a performance at Rockwood Music Hall (New York, NY). Since, he has also performed at Mercury Lounge, National Sawdust, The Schomburg Center, The Groove, Ginny’s Supper Club, and regularly hosts an open mic in Harlem, NY. 

Though Rashad began his recording career as a Gospel Music recording artist, the music that he is preparing to release is socio-politically conscious and inspirational. Both singles from his highly-anticipated third album "Forward" are available now everywhere digital music is sold or streamed.

“Forward” features brand new music written & produced by Rashad McPherson; as well as collaborations with Kymberli Joye (Season 15 of NBC’s “The Voice”) & Shelby Sykes (“The Color Purple” On Tour). “Forward” is designed to remind everyone who will encounter it of everything that awaits “on the other side of fear.” January 3, 2020 “Forward” will be available everywhere digital music is sold or streamed.
