DJ Bio Preview

	*The NOR DJ's* “This really surpassed our expectations. Now it’s NOR this, NOR that… Who knows how far it’ll get?” In 2003, four friends decided to make their dream reality; they brought their music and ideas together, soon to render Chicago speechless. Today, NORdjs have become a staple nightlife name. Regularly playing in the city’s fittest venues, and having shared the decks with the likes of Paul Harris, Dave Seaman, Creamer & K, Paul Oakenfold, Deep Dish, Satoshi Tomiie, Steve Lawler, and Sandra Collins, NORdjs’ resume is quite impressive for having been on the scene only four years. NOR’s humble beginnings soon translated to city wide recognition with the hottest promoters. The crew’s down to earth attitude and approachable nature soon gained significant respect with Chicago’s socialites and club lovers. The fusion of talent and musical inclination sets NORdjs apart as a versatile and unexampled group of djs. It was only natural that NOR’s next step would be music production and international touring. Spanning the globe from Chicago to Miami and Eastern Europe, even NOR admits to not knowing what the future will bring.
	*Billy the Kid* Billy the Kid has just returned to the U.S. after being the chosen Maxim Magazine Spring Break DJ in Acapulco, Mexico. Rock City entertained and amazed over 20,000 spring breakers during his six week stay. "DJ Rock City is an incredible DJ and Maxim was lucky to have him at Maxim Break," said Jennie Corallo, Maxim's Marketing Director. While in Mexico, Rock City opened for DJ AM, DJ Green Lantern, DJ LS1, T-Pain, and Lil' Flip. Residing in Chicago, B96.3 Mixmaster Billy the Kid contributes to the most listened to Mix Show from New York to L.A., which caters to millions of listeners each week. In the event of being showcased, aside from his multiple residencies at hotspots of Chicago, Billy has played at some of the biggest venues and events in the world, some of which crowds have reached 50,000+ in attendance. He was also a featured Dj at the Winter Music Conference in Miami alongside Djs Seb Fontaine, Donald Glaude, Robbie Rivera and BT to name a few.
	*Mark Centennial* Mark has finally graduated to VJing (as in beat mixing music videos). Not only that, but he customizes the original videos themselves for full dance floor effectiveness, so a good percentage of the videos he plays have been extended, reconstructed, reworked and laid on top of new sound for club play. When Centennial is in the booth you will now get to hear and see your favorite Hip Hop, R&B and House songs / artists in a way you probably haven't before. Remixes, Mash-Ups and live performances from all over the world are just some of the things you'll see, stuff you'll hear and places you'll be taken before the night is over. Count on two things at one of Mark's events, new video reworks premiering pretty much every week and the only place you'll see them is with him.
	*Danny Boy* Danny has been working on his sound for over 10 years at the heart of Chicago's Progressive Trance scene. His style of smooth, sexy, deeply-textured grooves, baselines and Fx, has carried countless dance floors through many enchanted rhythmic journeys. Danny began his calling to be a DJ after working at a teen club as a Manager. Soon after witnessing a Chicago legend perform, Bad Boy Bill, Danny felt a small ripple of what his destiny held. In 1999, Danny shipped out for his first gig in Ybor City, Florida, he gave Ybor City a taste of what the Chicago Progressive Trance style was like. He hit clubs like 1509, Amphitheater, and Club Le Mezzine (where he became a frequent DJ in the coming months). While he was moving Eastern Florida with his energetic style, a club owner from Chicago asked him to become resident at his club back home, Club XL. This was Chicago’s only legal after-hours club, which opened at 4am and closed at 10am, and had more than 2000 in attendance every night. After a strong 2 years at XL, Danny moved on and became a resident DJ at Glow where he played 8 hour sets every Friday and Saturday night. Right around this time, Danny started getting booked around the country in cities like Las Vegas, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Cleveland and New York City. Danny got to a point where he established himself as one of the most prominent DJs in Chicago. Having maintained a 6-night a week schedule for almost 4 years, he resided at major clubs like Kustom, Glow, Allure, Rive Gauche, Whitestar Lounge and Buzz - along with frequent guest spots at many other Chicago clubs. While playing almost every single night of the week, Danny has begun his producing career. This has landed him numerous and highly respected offers, including opening for Paul Van Dyke last year at the House of Blues in Chicago. While his style was evolving and his production skills were increasing exponentially, Danny was approached about a residency at Miami's most prestigious club, Crobar.
