Sean Bauzay is back! A raver child of the mid-90's, Sean was born into electronic music during the heyday of Florida Breaks. He was sucked into the scene on the strengths of groundbreaking acts like Rabbit In The Moon, DJ Icey and Baby Anne. Besides those artists, he counts other prominent acts he's followed since the mid-'90 as influences, such as Überzone, Crystal Method, Chemical Brothers, The Orb and Prodigy. He attended parties at venues where the music mattered, like The Edge in Fort Lauderdale and multiple rave festivals, like Zen and Ultra, at its genesis.

Sean's love for electronic music expanded to embrace Progressive House during the late '90s rise of that genre, when innovative artists like Sasha & Digweed caught his attention. On the cusp of a new millennium, Sean felt called to throw his own hat into the DJ ring in 1999, and found swift success. He developed a personal style that was a mix of Breaks and Progressive House that worked like magic on the dance floors that he rocked. In 2001, he took top prize in a DJ competition with popular nightlife website, cooljunkie.com, which awarded him a slot on the decks at the infamous Club Space in Miami, at it's storied, original location. He opened for local, Miami fave, Edgar V. One of Sean's proudest accomplishments as a DJ was playing several Hallucination Recordings parties in Ybor City with Rabbit In The Moon duo, DJ Monk and David Christophere (aka Confucius), and DJ Three. They were amongst Sean's biggest influences, and he now counts them as friends.

Sean went on to play at many of the top venues in Miami, including Liquid, Living Room, Crobar and  Level. The scene was starting to change, though. Sean was uncomfortable with the shift towards commercialization in the electronic music and club scene. Things were also shifting from vinyl to digital format. Sean, a purist, finally showed up at a club with his records to play, and they had no turntables. Sean was becoming estranged from a scene that was becoming full of itself – more about the glitz, and less about the music and craft.

Sean decided to go back to his roots as a drummer. To this day, he still drums professionally, most recently backing Morrison, an up and coming Miami singer, guitarist and songwriter, who was just named “Best Solo Act” by Miami New Times for 2019.

In recent years, Sean started getting the itch to DJ, again. He still felt a pull towards electronic dance music and it's driving beats and booming bass lines. Bass is in his blood.  New styles of music were forming. New subcultures were forming in the dance world.

It didn't take long for Sean to rise back into prominence in the Miami dance music scene. He held a residency with the successful and growing “Ritual” party. Ritual is headed by Sean's long time friend and fellow DJ, RC (Robert Cournoyer), who was a big influence in getting Sean back into the DJ game. At Ritual, Sean has played with international acts, like SIS and Djuma Soundsystem, as well as prominent local acts, like Fiin, Patrick M and Magician on Duty.

Watch out for Sean Bauzay! He is back with a vengeance!

That has earned this world-class DJ, producer the affectionate nickname the Stevie Wonder of House music.

As a skilled multi-instrumentalist and Dolby Atmos certified recording engineer with a propensity for tinkering under the hood, Chandler strives to understand every aspect of sound recording and amplification. Kerri is constantly pushing the boundaries of recording technology and live-performance sound systems.

You can never anticipate what you’re going to experience. Seamlessly transitioning from live DJing to live jam session complete with keyboards, live vocals, and loops or perhaps merging mid- 20th century studio grade reel to reels as a mixing source combined with state-of-the-art custom projection mapping design, newly developed by Panasonic to create immersive 3D environments, complete with tracks Chandler blends together while simultaneously interacting with holograms of legendary vocalists that Kerri has collaborated with though out his career.

With a discography spanning three decades, Kerri's first release Super Lover/ Get It Off on Atlantic Records in 1991 set the stage for what was to become a signature sound. His creations launched a wave of admirers and imitators of his deep lush chords and soulful grooves that stir emotions and movement. In his continuous search to inspire and nurture new talent, he forged MadTech Records and the eclectic Kaoz Theory imprints soon followed becoming the flashpoint for such artists as the Martinez Brothers, Seth Troxler, and Tony Lionni.

Kerri having just released his latest album the 24-track homage to international nightlife “Spaces and Places”, jumps headlong into the world of spatial audio with Dolby Atmos This new immersive sound format allows sounds to travel through a space not merely backward and forwards but circles in all directions. With the international support of club owners and engineers, a total of 24 iconic night spots were transformed into recording studios infusing each track with the full sound characteristics of the rooms they were recorded in. Spaces diverse as London's Ministry of Sound, Paris Rex, Berlin’s Watergate, Barcelona’s Razzmatazz, or New York's Knockdown Center creating a whole new layer of complexity and accuracy. “If I wasn’t working doing the stuff I love doing, I’d probably work at Dolby,” Chandler says. “My job became my hobby, and my hobby became my job.”

Right place, right time. It's an old cliché, but it's one that's been the definition of Dennis Ferrer's musical career. Just as the dance music world was heading into the world of afro-centric house, Ferrer was there. And then, when it began to embrace the mix of tech and soul, Ferrer was there again, leading the way with his impeccable productions. As Ferrer goes, it seems, so does electronic music. And, as someone who's never content to do the same thing twice, it's clear that he'll be staying on top for years to come.

Ferrer burst back into the consciousness of most dance music heads with the release of "Sandcastles," (Ibadan) his collaboration with Jerome Sydenham in 2003. But, to his credit, Ferrer didn't simply repeat the formula afterwards. He has continued to push a variety of genres all at once. It's clear that Ferrer isn't content to rest on his laurels: he's too busy dreaming up new ways to shock and delight audiences.

In the mid-90’s, Ferrer was crafting techno records as Morph and then had success in the Afro and gospel house scenes with releases via his Sfere label, an imprint he began alongside Kerri Chandler. But it's this past work that gives his new productions such resonance: unlike many of this house peers, Ferrer's techno experience has given him an edge that you can hear in his recent work.

"Son of Raw," (Ibadan) "Church Lady," (Defected) "Underground Is My Home," (King Street Sounds), "Touched the Sky" (King Street Sounds), “Transitions” (King Street Sounds), “P 2 Da J” (Defected),  “Sinfonia Della Notte” (Strictly Rhythm), “Hey Hey” (Objektivity), “Red Room” (Objektivity), “Underground” Nick Curly – Dennis Ferrer Remix (Defected), to name a few, have all been huge dance floor anthems and all show a different side of the Ferrer personality as well as his impressive range as producer and remixer.

Ferrer has brought his ‘anything goes’ approach to his label, Objektivity.  Celebrating its 8th anniversary in 2014, the imprint has thus far focused itself on vocals, featuring often unlikely turns from indie heroes like Ane Brun and Télépopmusik. Low slung and deep, Objektivity is a cutting-edge label in touch with its time, putting a uniquely American spin on the deep house revival that is currently making waves in Europe. Objektivity is a living, breathing thing - one that's set to drop bombs on the dance floor for years to come.

While Ferrer closes out 2013 with “Mind Ur Step” (Defected), “Mind Ur Dub” (Objektivity) and a remix of Coyu - “Salvation” (Noir Music), the best is yet to come. With a deep knowledge of the past and a constant push for the future, Ferrer remains one of the true greats of house music - a leader and innovator whose enjoying the buzz around him but keeping on pushing the limits. Stay tuned.

THE CRYSTAL DROP a.k.a. Hakan Egemen,who was born in Turkey in 1980,has been passionately in love with music since his early childhood. In the years of 8o's and 9o's; his mind was blown away by the decades' prevailing tendencies varying from electro,hiphop,oldskool breaks/hypnotic,dreamy postpunk,new wave,synthpop,darkwave,ebm,industrial sounds to eurodance,techno,house and club hits. During the late 90s and early 2000s,he was familiar with electroclash and oldschool trance variations such as goa trance,euro trance,tech trance,uplifting and progressive trance.His relish for deejaying began in 2oo4 and he moved on playing his tunes among friends at house parties in the university years.His selections consisted mainly of progressive house (deep progressive/dark progressive/tribal progressive,etc).In 2oo8, he started working for Pioneer Pro Dj Academy in his hometown.From this moment,he played at several bars,clubs,hotels besides after-hours and private parties.Having paused djing for a few years,he altered his mind in 2o15 and decided to make it up for the lost years.Henceforth,he felt like taking part in psychedelic trance community as a psy-trance dj.Subsequently,he participated in 'CRYSTAL KIDS' psy-trance organisation founded in Istanbul and became a resident dj member of it.Since then,he has been seen on the psychedelic platforms and performed in many indoor events,parties,organisations and outdoor festivals in Turkey.Despite the fact that he virtually seems to love each sub-genre of psy-trance,his style and favourite one is zenonesque,psygressive and dark progressive.He mostly prefers sticking to heavy loaded abounding atmosphere,harmony,composition,story and groovy,powerful,satisfactory basslines.Apart from psy trance, his livesets and productions may differ from electronica,deep house,tech house to techno and progressive house.
