The building that sits at 300 North College Street in Charlotte, NC has been a staple of the region’s electronic music scene since 1993. I was lucky enough to experience the last few years of the venue once known as “Mythos”, where i got to see world-class DJ’s up close and personal.

The venue closed doors in 2004 and reopened under the same management in 2005 as “The Forum”. There, I was fortunate to play at parties with headlining DJs like Cedric Gervais, Benny Benassi, Markus Schulz, and Morgan Page to name a few. After closing its doors in 2010 for another revamp, the time has now come for “the new standard for Charlotte nightlife”.

“Phoenix” is opening its doors this saturday March 19th with French superstar DJ/Producer Antoine Clamaran conducting the orchestra. I’m thrilled to be part of this grand opening, where i’ll be spinning tunes under the stars on the open-air roof garden.

Drop by the booth and say hello! Contact me for FREE tickets before they are gone!

So… it’s that time of the year. You know, the time when family and friends join you for your birthday celebrations! This week, i’m growing yet another year older wiser, and have 2 events planned for the celebrations!

This Wednesday, Kevin Focus has invited me to play alongside him for his new weekly residency at Kazba in uptown Charlotte. I’m excited not only to play some amazing new tunes, but also because this is my well-overdue debut at this venue! Hope to see you there!

The 2nd event this saturday… is a secret! It’s being held at a smaller venue just outside of downtown CLT. I’ll be starting off slow with some downtempo grooves, and picking up the pace later on in the night! If you’d like to join in on the fun, send me a message and i’ll fill you in on the details…

Early on in the fall season, Sugar Society invited me to play a set on the rooftop of The Forum when Markus Schulz was in town! It was a great night under the stars, with the cool breeze of fall starting to set in.

In September & October, my monthly “Global Fever” residency made its way to Dharma Lounge, a venue in Southend with a laid back vibe, tucked away just outside of downtown Charlotte. This past weekend the residency made its way to a brand new venue, next door to Dharma, called Marigny. Both of these venues have amazing sound and lighting, and the crowd has been excited to follow Global Fever into new territory.

This week superstar DJ Paul Oakenfold invades Charlotte on the “Facelift Tour” along with DJ Chuckie, and the sister dj-duo known as Nervo. Sugar Society has invited me back once again to drop a set on the patio! It’s been a while since Charlotte has had a multi-headliner show like this, and the excitement is massive…

Special thanks to Sugary Society and Ouzo Productions.

Lately I’ve been spending more time in the studio than behind the decks, working on original tracks and edits of tracks i like. I stumbled across Robbie Rivera & DJ Dero’s latest tune titled “Oh Baby” featuring Juan Magan on the vocals. Dero’s Animal Night mix caught my attention, except for that crazy in-your-face electro part. So i got rid of it. Enjoy!

They say everything good must come to an end… but i had no idea that it was going to end like this! The Forum nightclub (2005-2010) in Charlotte, NC announced they would be closing their doors and asked me to play the closing DJ set on the roof garden for their “Wrap Party”.

In the Main Room DJ Craze was headlining the show, and there was also strong support from local DJ’s as well. My set was supposed to start at 1am and end at 2:15am… I didn’t stop playing until 4:30am! The music, people, and energy fused together for one last (amazing) night. R.I.P. The Forum, you will be missed.

In the video above, i got my 2 seconds of fame around the 1:53 mark.
