In addition to taking home the “Best American DJ†award at this year’s Winter Music Conference, Christopher has been dubbed “A Superstar DJ†by URB Magazine and voted #7 DJ in the world in DJ Magazine’s prestigious “Top 100†poll. With the ability to take dance floors by storm, coupled with his sleek progressive and trance sets, Christopher is in high demand headlining the biggest clubs and festivals throughout Europe, Asia, South America and beyond. Detroit based quartet THE VON BONDIES are one of today’s most influential and innovative young bands. Their unique sound blends raw garage, true punk and soul music into a seamless hybrid that’s purely instinctual. The Von Bondies established themselves in the Midwestern club scene before taking the music world by storm with a relentless round of touring across America, Europe and the U.K. The recently released Pawn Shoppe Heart marks the bands debut on Sire/Reprise Records. Produced by Jerry Harrison of Talking Heads fame, this album contains twelve potent, original songs that are totally committed and straight from the heart – purely and simply what rock ‘n roll is really about. Before becoming resident DJ for the Beastie Boys, MIX MASTER MIKEspent years honing his skills and cultivating his style. In 1984 at 14 years old, he was introduced to the art of hip-hop and started mixing by blending beats on two cassette players. However, his life was forever changed when he saw Grandmixer DST on TV, and from then on, all he ever wanted was to be was a scratch DJ. Since then, Mike has lived his dream, winning a lifetime achievement award from the International Turntabablist Federation, being part of the renowned DJ crew the Invisibl Skratch Piklz, and collaborating on “Hello Nasty†and “To The 5 Burroughs†with the Beastie Boys. The Silver Studio Tour is coming to San Diego so come early and stay late. Feel the freedom and experience it LIVE!
