Kenneth Thomas joins the Broadcast! Kenneth Thomas has quickly positioned himself as one of the top DJs in Detroit. Continually striving for perfection and bringing progressive trance to the area both have been his main desires. Acquiring the headlining resident position on Saturday nights at Motor Detroit, voted number one club in America by URB Magazine 2001, launched Kenneth into the spotlight. Headlining Toronto's System Sound Bar and numerous events in Cleveland, New York, Indianapolis and Chicago, Kenneth has moved away from local residencies and has begun to establish himself as a national US headliner. New residencies with Bleu in Detroit, Rampant in Toronto, Spundae, and on Trancesphere Radio have aided him in becoming a force within the international DJ realm. In Detroit he still concentrates on local club promoting and working relentlessly at bringing National and International talent to the scene. Yet with a regular touring schedule across in the US and beyond, KT has still found time to express himself beyond DJing and move into the realms of original production.
A recent introduction to Mike Targanski, otherwise known as Elevation of Markus Schulz pres. Elevation- Clear Blue/Somewhere, has lead to a new series of production collaborations spearheaded by their first release, Elevation & Kenneth Thomas- Preen. Preen has already received praise from Paul Oakenfold, Armin van Buuren and has quickly become a favorite on Global DJ Broadcast hosted by Markus Schulz.
Early on KT struggled in his home area of Detroit, trying to break through the heavy influences of the Detroit techno scene. As he says, "traditionally this town has not embraced progressive styles of electronic music and has ever so graciously adopted the saying 'Trance Sucks' as its motto in the anti-progressive capital of the World. This is a very techno oriented city that doesn't tend to validate any other form of electronic music. But with the help of my friends, fans and other DJs we work to broaden the horizons of this city or at least reach as many new people as possible."
"This is the most amazing sound I have ever encountered, I just want to share it with as many people as possible"-KT

Elevation returns to the Broadcast! A relative newcomer to the dance music scene, Elevation has seen rapid success through his musical production talents. Born in Detroit, Michigan, in the United States, Elevation's interest in music was visible from the start. He began learning to play the piano and the organ at a very young age and continued with them for several years. Over time, his musical tastes broadened and changed, and in his teens he became intrigued by Turntablism and scratching, which then led him to purchase his first pair of turntables in the winter of 2001. Soon, through his use of those turntables and his contact with the culture that accompanied them, his focus shifted towards electronic dance music. As time passed, Elevation began experimenting with various music production software, while further developing his mixing skills. Ever more dedicated to his art form each day, he began upgrading his equipment and devoted most of his spare time to mixing and producing.
Inspired by his favorites, Armin van Buuren and DJ Tiesto, Elevation's production skills truly began to soar in August of 2002, while using the infamous bedroom production software, Fruity Loops. During the course of the following year, he produced countless tracks, many of which became favorites among friends and others with whom he shared his work. Shortly after May of 2003, Elevation upgraded his producing software, rendering him able to unleash the full potential of his talent.
Elevation's breakthrough arrived when he submitted a project of his, then entitled Clear Blue Sky, to well-known DJ and producer, Markus Schulz. Schulz, having a keen ear for talent, quickly began work on the track with Elevation, who soon became Schulz's protégé. After working together for a few short weeks, Schulz and Elevation produced the masterpiece of progressive-trance, Clear Blue. Released on the Armada Music imprint Electronic Elements, Clear Blue has seen success worldwide with some of the biggest names in trance today. Now at only 17, Elevation has reached heights he never foresaw.
Currently, Elevation is busy juggling time between his intense production schedule and his education. He is working on several projects with Markus Schulz, and continues to compose new productions of his own. Keep an eye and an ear out for more!
