Mixing hard tribal, with high energy vocals, and even throwing in an anthem or two, DJ Bertossi's sets always full of his own edits and remixes that leave the crowd jumping, screaming and wanting more! Local promoters, and event organizers are taking notice as well. But DJ Bertossi's sound can translate to any scene he is thrown into, which is what makes this DJ stand out from the rest. Being able to play for whatever situation he's put in, is one of his many gifts. He can feel out the crowd, and give them what they want, or what they didn't know they wanted. |

Saturday March 6th 10:30pm - 2:30am Venue: Snowball Dance on the MountainTOP |
The Grammy-winning New Yorker relocated to Miami in 2003 and, with the dance music industry radically changing and quality production/remix opportunities in shorter supply than ever, Hex spent much of the year getting settled and returning to what built his name in the first place: DJing. Traveling the world and freshening up its dancefloors, Hex has been putting on a house music clinic playing the hottest new jams and a monumental classic or two at just the right moment to thousands of insatiable club-goers. Hex may have left New York, but even moving to another corner of the country could not deter an all-star cast of friends from turning out the Big Apple for his birthday party this year. Jonathan Peters, Erick Morillo, Angel Moraes, Danny Krivit, Skribble, Jason Ojeda, Hector Romero, longtime collaborator Dezrok, and fellow Grammy winner Peter Rauhofer taking turns playing in one club on one night is a testament to the widespread admiration Hex s hometown peers have for him. The diverse lineup demonstrates how universal his appeal is to the global house music community, regardless of the different scenes and styles these DJs gravitate toward individually. Scan Hex s discography, and the credits are staggering: Madonna, Jennifer Lopez, Whitney Houston, Janet Jackson, Mariah Carey, Donna Summer, Mary J. Blige, Britney Spears, *NSYNC, Anastacia, Enrique Iglesias, Jessica Simpson, and Aretha Franklin are just a fraction of the artists who have received Hex s golden touch. Hex s Grammy win for Remixer of the Year in 2001 confirmed what a legion of enthusiastic club and radio supporters already knew: possibly nobody else was better at making pop stars matter on the dance floor, or making dance divas matter on the pop charts. He has not looked back since, unleashing classic after classic so often, it is easy to forget a few along the way but not because they are forgettable records. Rather, there are so many that one s mind becomes overworked trying to recall each one. It is that legacy that has defined Hex s career, and which sets the cornerstone for where he is headed today. Back to basics and back in business, it doesn t take long at all to realize that the man is still at the top of his game. Hotter than a mid-August day in his new Miami locale, Hex Hector is here to stay, and our ears and feet will be all the happier for it. |
