Hailing from the UK, dance music has been a part of Dan's life for a long, long time. His first encounters with the then very-underground dance scene were at clubs like Subterrania, in London's West End, and in the countless illegal raves that took place up and down the country. Soon, he wanted to be more than just a face in the crowd. Inspired by the first wave of 'Superstar DJs' like Jeremy Healy, Allister Whitehead, Tony De Vit and Pete Tong, Dan bought a pair of cheap tables from a friend and began mixing. Today, Dan has chalked up an impressive DJ’ing resume with appearances in the UK, Ibiza, and Belgium, as well as here in Washington DC, Baltimore and North Carolina. Never one to stick to a single style, Dan plays the best soulful, funky house, seamlessly blended with harder, driving progressive beats, but always with an energy that makes people get up and dance. As Dan says,"Too many DJ’s get caught up in trying to 'educate' their audience. Playing records that just don't work on the dance floor, forgetting that when people go to a club, they're there to have a good time, not to be lectured to. I just want everyone to go home happy when they have been to see me play." Come and experience Dan spin and we guarantee you will... _________________________ Dragonfly (2nd Floor) :: 21+ .

MIKE HADDAD (EMC, DC : GROOVANAUTS, NYC) Introduced to and educated by active members of the scene, Mike envisioned a career that would take years of hard work and effort. Learning the art of mixing quickly became a part of his life, which led to a successful after-hours party, and his guest spots at Glow (Insomnia, DC), Groovejet (NYC) and Code (Nation, DC). Mike keeps the dancefloor packed all night. The subtleties of his mixing is what is amazing about Mike. Every mix is flawless, EQ'ed perfectly, and with each track he plays comes a little more excitement - through the speakers and onto the dancefloor. People dance harder and get more hyped, but they don't know why.... ALEX HAJE (EMC, DC : SPANK, DC) Alex is just as comfortable behind the decks as he is in the studio. But it's his skills as a DJ that has enabled him to rise quickly through the ranks, and you can now find him headlining in many of the top clubs in the DC area. When Alex is on the decks you'll hear a flawless mix of anything you can call house music.... deep, happy, funky, progressive and NY styles are always within his reach. Much of his technical precision comes from an innate understanding of the music he is playing, which he credits to the countless hours spent working and studying in his studio. ROYCE HAVEN (EMC, DC : GROOVANAUTS, NYC) Royce's music roots date back to his early years in NYC where he grew up listening to the electro pop, synth-driven sounds of the 80's and falling in love with the growing movement of HIP-HOP. It was in '89 after he moved to DC where he was first introduced to house music. Royce was given a mix tape by his fellow DJ friend, Omar. He instantly fell in love with the emotional and diverse sounds of Electronic Music. He promised Omar that one day he would also be a DJ. Royce is now fulfilling that promise holding multiple residencies in New York @ Happy Ending and DC @ Pulse, in addition to spinning regularly at Glow, DC and Spank, DC. He has also been privileged enough to spin with some of today's hottest DJ's such as Max Graham and John ‘00' Flemming. Spinning not being enough, Royce keeps himself busy in his studio working on an EP with collaborations from Samio of Yoshitoshi and J-Punch of Global Underground. He has a diverse sound ranging between house, breaks, trance and techno. With his unique sound and talented mixing on the decks, he is guaranteed to pump up the energy on any dance floor. ____________________ Experience the night on CLUB FIVE's Full Bass Heavy EAW Avalon Sound system!!

DJ Bruno Gervais hails from Paris, where in 1988 he began playing clubs like La Locomotive, Le Palace, Le Privilege and Les Folies Pigalle, sharing turntables with Dave Haslam (Hacienda, UK), Laurent Garnier (f.communication, France), Erik Rug (Maine Rec, Paper Rec, Wax Groove, Dirty Jesus, Daphreephunkateer, France) and Mixmaster Morris (Irresistible Force, UK). During this time, Bruno was also a resident deejay at Radio FG. In 1993, Bruno moved to Uruguay, where he quickly established himself as a force in the underground scene there - as well as in Argentina - playing the biggest clubs in Buenos Aires (Pacha, La Morocha, Camel Genuine Sound, El Divino and Museum), Punta del Este (Space, La Morocha, Cream, Fila Sessions and Lucky Strike Beach), and Montevideo (Exogroove, W.Lounge, Milenio, and Levi's Experiment Tour). During this time he spun side by side with international deejay talent such as Angel Molina (Spain), Lee Burridge (Tyrant/Fabric, UK), Eric D. Clark (Whirlpool Productions, USA), Laurent Garnier (F.Communications, France), Moguai (Important, Punx, Ministry of Sound, Germany), System F (Netherland) and local all-stars like Hernan Cattaneo (Perfecto, Argentina), Romina Cohn (International Gigolo, Argentina), Carlos Alfonsin (Pacha, Argentina), and Marcelo Castelli (Uruguay). Never being content to rest on his laurels, Bruno grabbed his crates and moved to the USA in 2001, setting up his turntables in New York City. He landed gigs at several underground clubs such as Halcyon, Plant, Boogaloo, Void and Open Air. His talent was quickly recognized and he now plays regularly at several of the most well known spots in the city, such as Sullivan Room, Cielo, Lotus and Centrofly. With 15 years of experience under his belt, Bruno can and will take you on a musical journey throught the night - his track selection and immaculate mixing create a perfect flow from one song to the next - building up the energy so subtley that your body will start moving to the music before you even realize it.

FRED MASLAKI (YOSHITOSHI, DC : GOURMETGROOVES) A DC native, Fred Maslaki's roots can be traced back to the early Fever parties and seminal clubs like Tracks, Buzz and Twilo.
