With an extensive list of events under his belt Ryan Doubleyou's music stands out amongst the crowd with obscure remixes and falling into the underground of House music, he keeps the pulse and heart of the dance floor packed while taking you on a journey into the music.  Gigs in Atlanta, Vancouver, Detroit, Providence, Baltimore, Washington DC, Philadelphia and beyond have catapulted Ryan's career proving he is in it for the music and a lifetime. 

With the field of house music DJs continuing to expand exponentially, it’s become increasingly difficult for any one talent to stand out. That is, of course, unless you’re Chad Jack.

In what almost seems like overnight, this extremely gifted young DJ/producer has infiltrated New York’s formidable nightlife scene with his brilliant remix work and recurring gigs at three of the city’s most popular nightclubs, Roxy, Avalon (f/k/a Limelight), and Spirit. Undeniably destined for superstar status, Chad’s vigorous live performances and sophisticated studio productions transcend the dance floor, inspiring awe and cultivating a diverse following of revelers around the world.

Born and raised in Michigan, Chad first discovered his passion for House Music while listening to radio mix shows he tuned in from nearby Chicago. Inspired by industry pioneers like Farley Keith, Fast Eddie, Bad Boy Bill, and the Hot Mix 5, Chad found a creative outlet for his newfound interest behind the turntables. After immersing himself in the hip-hop music scene, he landed his first DJ gig at Electric Avenue in Grand Rapids, and eventually his own radio show on Magic 108 (WMHG) in Muskegon in the early 1990s. After eight years honing his craft as a battle DJ -- performing theatrical tricks using turntables as instruments a la the DMC mixing competitions -- Chad packed up the vinyl in the summer of 1995 and moved to New York City to further his musical education and career.

His focus soon shifted back to House Music and he began experimenting on his computer creating his own remixes of popular songs. While working at Eight Ball Records, the self-taught DJ and aspiring producer befriended industry legends Victor Calderone, Hex Hector and Danny Tenaglia. Empowered by their advice and encouragement, Chad worked even harder to take his artistry to the next level.

After establishing a name for himself on Manhattans underground club circuit, Chad signed on with Madtizzy Productions to help increase his exposure beyond New York. Under the shrewd management of George Dellinger, enviable bookings quickly piled up, including Roxy, NYC, a monthly residency at Avalon (formally Limelight), NYC, Factory in Los Angeles, Coliseum in Fort Lauderdale, and Alegria at Sound Factory in New York.

Unburdened by the minutiae of daily administrative tasks, the rookie producer focused his attention on mastering the Logic software program, which he uses to create and manipulate music for his live sets. His unreleased mixes of Missy Elliott’s Work It and Whitney Houston’s Fine generated a great deal of buzz around town, but it was the birthday present he made for Junior Vasquez in 2002 that truly set Chad on a direct course for the upper echelon of disco royalty.

When he handed a CD containing restyled versions of Vernessa Mitchell’s “Reap” and Whitney Houston’s “Whatchulookinat” intermingled together to the person guarding the DJ booth at Earth, he wasn’t sure if Junior would ever see or hear it. But just two hours later, Junior played his mix and the crowd went absolutely wild.

 Chad has since remixed  Janet Jackson, Mary J. Blige, Vernessa Mitchell’s “Took My Life” (which was Billboard's number one dance record of 2004), as well as produced Jason Walker’s “Set It Free”. 

In 2009 Chad also landed his first Billboard Top 10 Dance Single with "Wish U Love",  with vocalist Fawn and co-produced by Tim Letteer which peaked at number 6 on the Dance Charts.  Chad has since managed to have huge success with big club hits such as 'eZbreeZ” and “Gag On It”, which are collaborations with longtime friend and CEO of Nasty Pig clothing, David Lauterstien (Chad Jack Vs Nasty Pig).

While his production work is indeed impressive, Chad’s extraordinary talent and showmanship is perhaps best appreciated during his live DJ sets. Clearly influenced by his hip-hop and early Chicago house origins, yet confident playing any genre of dance music, Chad admits, Its more about how I play the records as opposed to which records I play.

While his distinct style and sound will inevitably continue to evolve over the years, the one thing the ambitious DJ/producer plans to make sure never changes is that when someone walks into a party that he’s playing, they shouldn’t have to ask who’s behind the decks -- they’ll immediately know its Chad Jack.

DJ EDDIE ELIAS
Ever since Eddie Elias played his first professional gig in 2000, the New Jersey-based, Dominican-born DJ has been wowing audiences in New York City and around the country with his unique sound and masterful mixing.  Deep, progressive grooves are the foundation upon which Eddie builds his sets; where he goes from there depends on the crowd and his remarkably keen instincts.  Whether he’s dramatically layering an improbable number of tracks during a peak hour performance before a crowd of thousands or working a single favorite record with focused precision at a more intimate after-hours, a night on his dance floor is one that won’t soon be forgotten. 
Eddie was first influenced during his early clubbing experiences in the 90s listening to the legendary DJ Junior Vasquez spin at Tunnel and Arena.  Over the course of his professional career, he has cultivated a distinct sound and an innovative and ever-evolving mixing style.  Pulling from across the house music spectrum, with a vast technical and emotional range, Eddie’s sets inspire extraordinary and often unexpected dance floor journeys.  
Following in the footsteps of his good friend and mentor, Victor Calderone, Eddie caught his first break spinning at private parties on Fire Island, where he played for many of the same people who helped launch Calderone’s career years earlier.  He also met Ric Sena, an ambitious producer and promoter whose marathon events at Sound Factory were fast becoming the hottest ticket in town.  
Impressed by the young DJ’s performance, Sena invited Eddie to spin a set at one of his now-legendary Alegria parties.  Other dates followed, and when the party later moved to Crobar -- one of the largest and most popular nightclubs in Manhattan -- Sena brought Eddie along and offered him a residency that continues today.  
Venerable New York promoter John Blair has also tapped Eddie’s immense talent to helm his immortal Saturday night soiree at Roxy, the crown jewel and long-reigning king of Manhattan’s weekly dance scene.  
Hilton Wollman is another influential party broker who took a chance on Eddie early in his career, inviting him to spin at Salvation in South Beach in 2001.  Rave reviews prompted several return engagements, including a career-defining after-hours set during Winter Party weekend that catapulted the rookie DJ from little known peripheral player to major marquee status.  Eddie will return to South Florida in March 2007 for another Winter Party gig, this time at the enormous Club Space in downtown Miami.  
He has also traveled the country from coast to coast playing a wide array of venues, like Parking Montreal, TheEndUp & Mezzanine in San Francisco, Club Five in Washinton D.C, Roseland NY Black Party 2009, Roxy Nyc, Stereo Nyc, Crobar Nyc, Hydrate Chicago, Avalon, Roxy, & Rise in Boston, Voyeur Philly , Krome Tampa, ScoreBar, Space, and Twilo in Miami, Paramount Crown & Anchor in Provincetown . Always looking to expand his international exposure, Eddie’s adventures abroad include playing Rio Brazil, Sofia Bulgaria, Bogota Columbia, and other exciting dates are in currently in the works.
