AUGUST 8: MONEY MIKE + RAW Q
DJ Money Mike is a native New Yorker who is primarily known for selling records at the city’s most celebrated stores when he isn’t doing guest spots around town. He gained his love for music from his mom, who held a few house parties of her own! Although her style was centered around 70’s soul and 80’s boogie, Mike’s fascination was with the new emerging sound of hip hop. He started collecting his own records, and in the late 90’s began trying his hand at rocking parties. He is a resident of Mobile Mondays! and you can find him still spinning vinyl all around NYC.
NYC native, Raw Q (aka DJ Beau) has been a dedicated fixture in the North American Drum & Bass movement since 1995. From his roots as one of the founders of Camouflage, an original Jungle Sky, NASA, and Konkrete Jungle O.G., to his recent status as one of DJ Zinc’s ‘Bingo All-Stars’, and current member of the Driven AM family, Intrigue Music crew and resident DJ at NYC’s premiere DnB events Direct Drive and Natural Selection. Over the years Beau’s DJ skills and impeccable selection has earned him gigs at the world’s top Drum & Bass events in the US, Toronto, San Juan, and Bogota.
