My Interests

I'd like to meet:



Local 13 Dj's

MICHAEL MYERS
As the DJ credited with founding Philadelphia's trance music scene, Michael Myers has always been one of the most dedicated pioneers of the Eastern Seaboard's dance music community. An intensely serious minded and driven individual, Myers was first exposed to techno in 1992 via the music of renowned DJs Josh Wink and Frankie Bones. Although Myers began his career behind the tables spinning hip-hop records, he quickly discovered that electronic music was his calling. Drawn to the melodic tones of progressive trance, Myers found it to be "more intricate to mix than people would think. It's a style of music that is almost a pop format. While pursuing his career as a DJ, Myers became deeply involved behind the scenes with two of Philadelphia's dance music institutions: Local 13 and 611 Records. A dynamic member of the Local 13 production company since 1995, Myers is involved in every aspect of their events. He serves as a DJ, promoter, junior partner and event coordinator, helping out with everything from booking the talent to decorating the event venue. While gaining recognition at Local 13 events for his skills behind the tables, Myers quickly amassed an impressive touring schedule. As he traveled across the U.S., playing in Chicago, Detroit, New York City, Washington D.C., Baltimore, Phoenix and Pittsburgh, among other cities, Myers' popularity exploded back in his hometown. Myers is proud to admit that he receives a profound sense of confidence knowing that's he working toward a solid career in the music industry without really having a blueprint on how it’s done. Says Myers: "Bringing Philadelphia an atmosphere that shows what dance music is all about. It is truly a wonderful gift."

Heavily influenced by some of the biggest names in Trance as well as many Local DJs, DJ Skribe decided it was time to step up to the next level and purchased his first set of 1200’s. In 2000 while living in South Korea he spent everyday working on his mixing and networking with the South Korean scene as well as the scene back in Philly making sure he stayed in touch with the hottest tracks to hit the scene. While in Korea DJ Skribe landed his First gig at Club MWG and was instantly drawn into the culture of spinning records for the masses, DJ Skribe describes it as the greatest feeling in the world having everyone dancing to the music you’re playing. After a year in Korea, DJ Skribe was headed back to the states to live in Phoenix, AZ where he would meet some of Arizona’s hottest DJ’s and become part of many successful weeklies.
