When she first became a part of New York's dance scene, Connie was shocked to see how few women were DJ-ing the many parties around town. Never one to settle, she has been teaching women to spin for over two years. To date, Connie has had 15 students. In addition, Connie is teaming up with Halcyon Record Store to foster and promote local female DJs via an event called "Ladies’ Night," which features a new female DJ spinning on-site every Thursday. Connie is producing under the name "conSTAR" and her first release is out now on Airdrop Records!" JUAN MEJIA / miami (Dutchie Music / Grouper Recordings) Juan, a Miiami based DJ & Producer, has achieved a solid reputation in the east coast music scene for the past decade for his unique brand of Club dance music. . Juan in 1995 moved to Orlando to attend Full Sail of the Recording Arts where he got his Audio Engineering degree .While he was in school he discovered his true calling in the DJ world . His passion for music landed him a residency at the top club in Orlando called “Firestone” There, he had the chance to spin with greats such as Josh Wink, Sasha and John Digweed. Juan was also invited to play in the first Zen festivals and at Simons Club in Gainesville FL, which introduced him to all kinds of electronic music and a true feel for the underground music scene. This was the time when DJ’s played records and there were no cd players. Once Firestone closed, Mejia was determined to move back to Miami , In no time Mejia had residencies at Groove Jet, Mansion, and Crobar. He was at Crobar from 2000 to 2003 where he became well known for his versatility of Music styles. Spinning at Crobar gave Mejia the opportunity to become involved in the Deep House movement that was happening at the time. He started to experiment with the sound and found himself playing all over the country in places like San Francisco Chicago , New York ,Las Vegas and globally in South America and Europe. This was his true calling. In 2003, after a great run at Crobar, Juan decided to start his own record label “DUTCHIE MUSIC In the last seven years Dutchie Music has become a prominent underground label with Mejia’s A&R Work With artists from all over the world. Artists such As Joeski, Pete Moss , Timewriter , Joshua Iz , and many others have recorded with Dutchie Music. Now in days Juan continues to DJ Worldwide. After a 15 year DJ career Mejia now has DUTCHIE music as one of the most thriving labels for deep house in the U.S. He continues to travel to the United States, South America and Europe, playing his well-crafted sound . HIGH MAINTENANCE / Dallas Tx/ Juiced Music, Shak Digital, Digi Funk, Midwest Hustle, Footwear, Junky Trunk, Meltin Funk, Llama Farm, HuHu, Voluptuous, Shak Street, Illuminati, H.A.R.D, Dustpan, Serial Sickness, Union, 3345, Bid Muzik, Groove Baby, Total Hailing from Dallas, TX., a city that has spawned such house music greats as Brett Johnson, JT Donaldson, Demarkus Lewis, and Lance Desardi, amongst others, the producing tandem of J. Caprice & 4peace, otherwise known as HIGH MAINTENANCE, are the next big thing out of Big D! In a city full of, and respected for it's deep house & minimal DJ's, High Maintenance has been makin' their presence felt with their signature funky, dirty, jackin' underground style of house music. Their high energy tag team sets are setting dance floors across the world on fire while their infectious clownin', lighthearted personas make them a crowd favorite. Both have been accomplished DJ's for quite some time (4peace since '89 and J. Caprice since '96), but it wasn't until Feb. 2008 that things started taking off on the producing front when the two met through a chance encounter on myspace. Needless to say, it was a match made in heaven and like two long lost brothers, J. Caprice & 4peace immediately clicked and started working on tracks together under the guise of High Maintenance. The house music community instantly took notice and the pair have been getting tracks signed at a torrid pace to such respected labels as Digi Funk, Dustpan, Groove Baby, Midwest Hustle, Meltin' Funk, Junky Trunk, Footwear, Bid Muzik, Llama Farm, HuHu, Shak Street, Serial Sickness, Illuminati, Voluptuous, & 3345, as well as their own label JUICED MUSIC, which has firmly established itself as a powerhouse in the worldwide house community. Their tracks have been charted by the likes of Mes, Smokingroove, JR From Dallas, Sonny Fodera, Combined, & Tommy Largo. With no signs of slowing down and a sound that continues to improve and mature with each release, the future looks very bright for the High Maintenance boys!
