JOE BERMUDEZ // lives in Boston,

This international DJ and accomplished producer could be playing with a bag over his head and he’d still get what really matters to him — the ears of thousands of fans in the U.S. and beyond. Admittedly, it’s a tad difficult to reconcile his outward appearance with his energy behind the decks. A devil-may-care abandon of what is played by most conventional jocks is matched only by his talent in the studio, a skill that has attracted clients from Jessica Simpson to Kelly Clarkson to Jesse McCartney. Throw into the mix his mantle as a Billboard reporter, his weekly show on XM Satellite Radio, and some upcoming high profile TV, radio and recording gigs, and what you’ve got is a true professional on par with or surpassing any on a small list of peers. All that said, it’s spinning live that gives this 28-year old Bostonian, who grew up in Maine, the greatest rush and what has earned Bermudez a solid fan base that turns out en masse in every venue and in every city he plays. Anyone who has had the opportunity to hear Joe spin knows that his style is anything but common, that his mixing and weaving of divergent genres and talents is flawless, and that his penchant for taking chances is legendary — that’s evidenced from the roster of clubs and parties for which he’s been tapped. Avalon in Hollywood, Blue Ball in Philadelphia, Unity II in Montreal, Cherry in Washington, D.C., Living Room in Mexico City and Blu in Atlanta.

The positive critical acclaim confirms his knowledge as producer with remixes EDDIE X uses his talent to guide a dance crowd. His style is to educate and take people on a journey. He believes in reading the club and work with the energy of the crowd. Seeing EDDIE X spin live, he treats the booth like a stage and he’s always performing. For Eddie, spinning is more than mixing and matching, its high theater. Eddie X has over fifteen years in the dance industry and currently remixes and produces. He innovated underground deep House in Los Angeles in the early ‘90s; he brought his signature sound to Miami in the mid-’90s when South Beach maestro Ingrid Casares brought him on-board at Liquid. He also revolutionized Saturday after-hours with Pump. Eddie X began his career in entertainment as a dancer, having studied in New York City at the Alvin Ailey and Martha Graham Schools, and auditioning for Broadway shows. He went on to choreograph and entertain in shows and videos for such groups as Mantronix, C&C Music Factory, Jody Watley (“Friends") and Black Box ("Everybody Everybody"). Meanwhile, he was out at the clubs, soaking up what was shaping up to be the dawn of the big underground House sound patent to New York City. From Paradise Garage to Zanzibar to Sound Factory, Eddie listened intently to jocks like Junior Vasquez, Frankie Knuckles, Danny Tenaglia, Tee Scott and David Cole. When he moved to Los Angeles, he did so to pursue choreography. With DJ Eric Puyu and partner Manny Rodriguez, he opened Spice Club in the heart of Hollywood and named the night “Temple.” It was one of the only spots in L.A. where people could party all night, and, within weeks, people were lined a mile-deep at the door. Temple started with 200 guests and soon began to grow. It was a little mystery club, and by week eight Eddie X had 3,000 people coming through the door on a Saturday night. During this time, he was about to break out on his own as a DJ and take his show on the road. Before long, ‘Temple” was moving from location to location in Los Angeles, with Eddie notifying a mailing list of thousands about enormous parties, whether a launch for ‘The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert” or “Men’s Skirt Party.” Eddie had another residency, “Pump,” at the El Rey Theatre. As the L.A. scene slowed and Miami became the hub of glamour and nightlife in the mid ‘90s, Eddie sprang into action. He had been summoned in 1996 to spin a night at the legendary Warsaw Ballroom in South Beach. Eddie X became resident DJ at LIQUID nightclub. The hottest dance club on South Beach anyone who knows anything about nightlife is well aware that Liquid was the apex of entertainment … Madonna, Sylvester Stallone and every celebrity in town that week were regulars inside the hot spot while as many as 500 people would wait outside to get into the club. Eddie enthuses: "This was the time when Miami was the bomb.” He also gave life to Miami after hours with “Pump.” After five years, it became the longest running club at that time in South Beach. By 2003 when “Pump” closed, Eddie had established himself as an international sensation and a master remixer. By then L.E.X. had been born and his client list ranges from newcomers to legends such as Barbara Streisand and Donna Summer. In addition to doing work for Madonna and Barry Manilow, Eddie has put his spin on include Cyndi Lauper’s "Walk On By,” Anastacia’s "Left Outside Alone" and Mis-Teeq’s "One Night Stand." And, when he’s not in the studio, he simply can no longer be tied down: you’ll find him doing his handiwork at the decks at clubs and parties all over the world.

DJ ROXX //lives in Miami

In the year 2001, sensing a timely opportunity from which his music could grow and mature, DJ Roxx settled in South Florida, a place he calls home. In this richly-diversified community, his music did indeed mature and fomented into what it is todaythe vibrant blend of bass and acoustics which first blasted at friends parties to the major commercial enterprise it is today, spell-binding. There are changing times on the dance scene, and DJ Roxx is well aware this. Unlike many other DJs that have seemed to settle into a category or genre of music, DJ Roxxs secret to success has rested in his ability to diversify his choice of music as much as possible, including the audience he plays for. As he has often repeated in various magazine and newspaper interviews, the dance floor for him always becomes an experiment of sorts, one on which he takes his music to the next step often without even his realization. This, he says, is often done subtly, often not that subtly. When pressed for an answer, he admits that he can do this by his ability to mix simultaneously on more than two decks, as most DJs do. It isnt long before even a simple vocal turns into a high-spirited, melodious, richly rewarding dance musical experiences anyone can have. And this seems to be DJ Roxxs own secret to success and personal ethoshis dance music speaks to different simply because, without one knowing it, when least expected, it can splinter off into many genres, sub-genres, and untold number of sounds.

I play the music I like and distinguishes me, but I always have in my mind to make people dance, so my audience always moves on the dance floor to my beat.
