Officially Launching: Top DJ Bookings
TOPDJ BOOKINGS is a new agency dedicated to promoting some of the brightest up and coming DJs, producers, and artists. TopDJ Bookings is the result of the vision of Marc Shmueli and Sergei Skliarenko. Marc and Sergei have been deeply involved in the DJ and music industries through their efforts in TopDJGear, one of the leading suppliers of DJ and Studio Production equipment to world markets as well as Sergei’s involvement in the Sullivan Room, a world renowned NYC nightclub and winner of the 2005 Club System International “Nightstalker” Award for Best Underground Club.
The idea was conceived out of pure demand in the ever-changing genre of electronic music. Through his deep involvement with the Sullivan Room, Sergei has made many contacts with DJs, Club Owners and Promoters, both domestically and internationally in the Electronic Music industry. It is the goal of TopDJ Bookings to utilize these relationships and to place its talented DJs and Producers in top venues throughout the world.
TopDJGear provides DJ and Studio Production equipment to both domestic and international markets. Its website is one of the most heavily visited DJ sites in the world and features the largest selection of audio equipment as well as articles, message boards and chat rooms. It also provides audio equipment through its retail locations in midtown Manhattan and downtown at Satellite Records (259 Bowery St) where local DJs can meet up and check out new gear. TopDJGear plans to leverage its worldwide Internet reach and strong local presence in New York City to promote TopDJBookings and its artists to their fullest potential.
TopDJGear also provides audio installation services in clubs, restaurants, lounges and other locations throughout the country. Through its strong relationships with the owners of these venues, TopDJ Bookings is able to place its artists in many of these locations, thereby providing a complete turnkey solution to club owners of both superior audio systems as well as talented artists to play at their venues.
Top DJ Bookings’ roster is a group of hand picked multi-talented DJs, Producers, Musicians and Artists who are well known and established in New York City and have played worldwide. Many of its current artists have produced Billboard #1 Dance Tracks and have remixed for some of the worlds top musicians. The agency will focus on worldwide performances, productions deals, label deals and promotions.
Roster of artists (in alphabetical order):
3 Speaker High
3 Speaker High’s genre-defying collaboration features Gabriellis Kaye and Robert K. Rodriguez (aka DJ Rob Keith), two established music makers that have come together for a common cause – high quality dance music. With their infectious first single, “Make Me Dance All Night”, garnering rave reviews globally and topping major music charts for the past year as well as their follow up single “Have A Good Time” ranked in Billboard’s Top 20 Hot Dance / Club Play charts for January 2005, 3 Speaker High and PAS Entertainment released their highly anticipated debut album in March. Combining live vocals with electric guitar solos splashed over melodramatic synth lines and driving dance rhythms, the album’s seamless mix appeals to fans of dance music and beyond.
Beverly Chills!
Beverly Chills (Jean-Sebastien De Looz & Benjamin Kummer) have a very distinct style.
Though native New Yorkers, the duo prefer a west coast funky DJ set accompanied by live guitar, both classical and electric, which makes for a unique experience both in the club and studio. Drawing on influences in jazz, soul, funk, and disco in addition to being classically trained musicians in jazz and classical guitar, these avid producers create a fresh musical sound for which they are highly regarded on Red Flavored Records and Audio Mosaic Recordings. Having played at New York venues, Sullivan Room, Sin Sin, Le Souk, Bar 169 and Carnival alongside J.T Donaldson, Justin Martin, Sammy D, Slater Hogan and Sean Holland and bringing Johnny Fiasco and Dizzy to their own Red Pepper Sessions, Beverly Chills are major players in the New York scene.
DJ Fame
DJ Fame (Amos Damon) has been rocking the decks for over ten years. His energetic sets of funky tech house have recently been creating a buzz not only in his hometown of New York City, but as far away as Belgium, Russia, Canada, U.S. west coast and east coast. His talent and busy touring schedule has also gained him sponsorship from NYC clothing company Touch Clothing. In addition to his busy DJ schedule, Fame is sales manager at Top DJ Gear. His vast knowledge of gear, talent for knowing how to work a crowd worldwide, combined with years of musical and vocal training are paying off in the studio. Look out for some quality tracks you can really get down to from this guy. No doubt he’ll live up to his name.
Lance Jordan
With over 15 years professional music industry experience, and international charted tracks under his belt, Lance Jordan's productions and DJ sets are amassing worldwide appeal. His original tracks are distributed globally and licensed to labels and compilations in the U.S., Spain, Portugal and Greece. Rosko's "Love is a Drug" co-written and co-produced by Jordan, hit No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Club Chart. "Last Night I Was Dreaming" a worldwide anthem, reached No.2 Dance Chart spot on European radio. Jordan's DJ sets have expanded his audience in many of New York’s most notorious venues including Crobar, Avalon and Discotheque along with South America and Europe. At home, in New York City, Jordan founded The Dance Music Production School, where he teaches the art of electronic music production to up and coming producers.
Kai
Kai (Wen-Kai Ying) of Chris & Kai, the duo that is red hot after recent hits “Catch Me” featured on the #1 Billboard Ultra Dance 5 CD & "Gone to heaven" track featured on Sasha and Digweed's Essential mix, has branched out on his own with a release on France’s Garbage imprint - UDG New Generation (Kai's electro tribal funk mix). Kai can hold his ground in both the studio and the DJ booth. Having a 2 year residency at New York's acclaimed Plant Bar, and a slot at San Francisco’s Love Parade 2004, Kai has proven himself to be a DJ to watch out for. After the success of the first Yoshitoshi Asia tour, he is about to embark on a 2nd this summer. Breaking ground in a market with huge potential, Kai is poised to be one of the top Asian DJ/producers in the world.
Alex Pearce
Alex Pearce has a passion for house music, blending elements of funky, tribal and progressive. Pearce first arrived on the EDM scene in NY in 1998, running the Kinetic records street team. After that, he became a partner in the “Touched By a DJ” production company and a resident at Liquids Lounge. Since then he's held residences at Delft, Serena, Future Progression loft and presently Sullivan Room and Shelter and played one-offs at Spirit, Centrofly, Discoteque, The Roxy, BLVD, and the Lunatarium playing alongside world class talent such as Peace Division, Max Graham, Ferry Corsten, Charles Feelgood, The Scumfrog and Mazi. One of the fastest rising DJs in New York, Alex is now focusing his attention on big room clubs and the production studio, where he's working on a number of new tracks due to be released in late 2005.
