DJ MEME | Brazil’s top house DJ and critically
acclaimed remixer/producer DJ Memê gained recognition early in his
career with remixes for major artists as far back as the early 80s,
creating mega mixes for the likes of The Bee Gees, New Order, and the
Pet Shop Boys among others. In 1996, Memê remixed “Estoy Aquí” for the
then newcomer Shakira which exploded on the club scene and became a
worldwide hit, resulting in a huge demand from major labels for his
ability to inject underground dance rhythms into popular music. Memê
went on to produce stunning remixes for major pop acts including Mariah
Carey, Toni Braxton, Dido, Ricky Martin, and Des’ree to great acclaim,
scooping up numerous gold, platinum, and diamond records.
Today, DJ Memê’s magical, heartfelt music is a regular fixture on dance
floors worldwide. With his talent for producing beautiful, emotional
house music laced with his signature strings and disco flavors spliced
with echoes of his native Latin roots, Memê is championed by elite DJs
and clubbers alike. He has earned himself the reputation as being one
of the top remixers of the moment, remixing contemporary soulful anthems
like Kenny Bobien’s “I Shall Not Be Moved” (Soulfuric), Groove Junkies
“Dr Feelgood” (MoHo), Kenny Thomas “Keep The Fires Burning” (Soul-Fi),
Jamie Lewis & Michael Watford’s “It’s Over” (Defected) Knee Deep’s
“Me Kumba” (Knee Deep), Darryl D’Bonneau’s “Say You’re Gonna Stay”
(Jellybean Soul), and the massive orchestral dance anthem “The Cure
& The Cause” by Fish Go Deep (Defected) among many others. In 2005,
Memê turned his hand to his own productions, releasing “Viva” under the
moniker Mandala on Knee Deep Records, which gained worldwide support,
reaching the #2 position on DJ Magazine’s Hype Charts. His last single, a
Latin house fueled giant titled “V.A.I.” for Soulfuric Records exploded
on the dancefloors, reaching #5 on DJ Mag’s Hype charts and gaining
support from DJs like Dimitri from Paris, The Groove Junkies, and Aaron
Ross. As a DJ, Memê’s unique and delicious recipe of smile inducing
Latin and disco infused house is regular on the menu at the world’s
greatest clubs. Memê creates quality, crowd-pleasing, uplifting house
that is nothing short of brilliant.
CZBOOGIE (5
Magazine/Chicago) | Born in the Philippines to a Filipina mother and
Indian father, Czboogie, aka Czarina Miran, moved to the US and attended
Northwestern University majoring in theater. She wanted to be an
actress and did films, TV, commercials, and modeling for 15 years before
going back to dancing professionally and even forming her own dance
company called Fivestarboogie Dancers. She’s done many shows over the
years and continues to do numerous club gigs. In August of 2005, she
began 5 Magazine and house music has been her full time job ever since.
MIKE VALENTINE (U-Kreu/Chicago) | Mike Valentine is a man of many
different walks of life, but most importantly, he is a music lover and
enthusiast. Growing up in a musical household in his native Ukraine, he
experimented with multiple musical genres, until exposure to 90s
electronica music groups such as Prodigy, Scooter, SNAP, Corona, Robert
Miles, Culture Beat, and Real McCoy changed his life forever. After
immigrating to the US, he immersed himself into Chicago’s nightclub
scene by promoting and spinning records at multiple Chicago clubs. Many
shows and years of experience later, Mike has kept the same philosophy
that he had from the beginning. It’s all about giving the crowd an
experience, love, energy, and the pursuit of a night to remember. - Artists
