sherif:
shortly after emerging onto the detroit electronic music scene in 2007, sherif quickly built a reputation as one of the city’s most dexterous and innovative new talents. while performing his unique brand of tech-house in venues throughout metro-detroit, sherif was brought to the attention of the… Show more bleu room; detroit’s premier electronic music experience (2001-2009) by dj/producer yos (ultra | nervous); it was here, that sherif skyrocketed to the upper echelons of the detroit electronic music scene, opening for josh gabriel (gabriel & dresden) during the weekend of “movement 2008” (paxahau’s annual detroit electronic music festival). the success of this performance secured sherif a rotation as one of the bleu room’s newest permanent resident djs.
sherif’s following grew across the midwest as he established residences in cleveland (anatomy) and windsor, ontario while continuing to impress his supporters and skeptics in detroit (blue, vain). other notable artist sherif has performed with include; ferry corsten, josh gabriel, max graham, steve porter, saeed younan, second sun, sultan & ned shepard,& john acquaviva.
whether in the studio or behind the decks, sherif’s unique style is born out of the musical influences from his childhood -- traditional ethiopian sounds, classic orchestra and jazz. realizing the power of music at a young age, sherif set out to share his passion for pulsating rhythms with others. look for releases from sherif coming this fall on myth. records available on beatport.com
kings of addiction:
it was less than one year ago when these three life long friends, a systems engineer, an account executive and a master's graduate, made a creative decision to share their passion for electronic dance music with friends and the rest of the world. their roots can be easily traced back to the 80's and 90's with inspiration being drawn from the alternative sounds of depeche mode, the prodigy, underworld, the cure and crystal method, just to name a few. in 1999, their passion for electronic dance music was fueled with an introduction to british superstar dj's paul oakenfold, carl cox and local canadian sensations, richie hawtin and john acquaviva.
in early 2008, mark roznawski launched new addiction radio, which turned out to be the first building block for the kings of addiction. this one hour mix show, downloaded globally, has just recorded it's 50th episode and is now available as a podcast at www.kingsofaddiction.com.
after spending many long nights in the studio and behind the deck's at afterhours clubs, koa's hard work started to pay off. in the summer of 2009, they landed a residency at one of north america's premiere nightclubs "the boom boom room" and their productions really started to showcase koa's signature "sexy progressive & dirty techno" sound.
the trio's first release entitled midnight visions feat enton mushi's remix was signed to denver colorado's velcro city records and is now available at beatport.com. with a second release scheduled for early march, more original tracks and remixes on the way, you can bet that 2010 should be a phenomenal year for the kings of addiciton.
