VICTOR DINAIRE:

Passion. When you consider the quest of up-and-coming DJ Victor Dinaire, it's the first word that comes to mind. "I was always into music as a kid, but didn't really get into dance music until the early 90's when I was throwing parties at the Limelight, Tunnel, and Palladium. It was great working for all three nightclubs because I got a taste of three different scenes: the gay scene, the rave scene, and the mainstream club scene." From there, Victor worked Wednesdays through Saturdays at the clubs and spent the remainder of the week either 'flyering' the city or organizing another event. But something inside was telling him to do more: "I loved the music and always wanted to be a DJ and producer but I was busy and extremely afraid to try, even though I always felt I could make an impact. While the crowd was dancing and having a great time, I always observed the people's reactions to the way DJ's worked them. My favorite DJ to observe was Junior Vasquez. It was from him that I learned to work a crowd by setting dramatic sequences with key records. For me, the best moments in a club were the late nights at the Tunnel while he was playing."

In 1996, Victor finally decided to take on more in the world of dance music. After just two months of practicing on his newly purchased DJ equipment, he landed his first gig at the Bank in 1997. The ride didn't stop there. Victor's interest in electronic music also landed him a promotion gig at Logic in 1999, where he now does promotion for artists such as: Gloria Gaynor, Giorgio Moroder, Danny Howells and La Bouche. But working as a Logic Artist is really where his reputation kicked off, enabling him to synthesize his DJing with his occupation. The next step in his journey led Victor mixing his first CD compilation that hit the top 5 position three consecutive weeks on the CMJ charts, Logic Trance Volume 4. Then came the successful series of trance classics, the latter of which nearly sold out: Timeless Trance: Morning Sessions and Midnight Sessions.

Steadily, this New York City native firmly set a foundation for his reputation in some of the biggest clubs in New York City and is now playing to masses across the States and internationally. From Vancouver to Vegas, Victor has performed with esteemed artists such as: Flava Flav, Junior Vasquez, Rabbit in The Moon, Talla 2XLC, Marco V, John 00 Fleming and Sandra Collins. "My musical taste? I love emotional music--something that can be felt. I love stuff that is upbeat, often with a message or a story. It doesn't necessarily mean trance, although that's probably my favorite genre. I love to give people a feeling like they have been to a million places when they hear me, or like a blockbuster movie, a set of many moods and feelings. On top tunes, I like to have multiple copies to change and extend the great moment." You can catch Victor spinning regularly on XM Radio in LA, as well as making frequent stops to perform in NYC, North Carolina, Virginia, Florida, Arizona, Rhode Island, Texas and beyond.


Dany Veltri and George Macys:

Dany Veltri and George Macys will always consider themselves fans of EDM above anything else. Before ever knowing what a DJ did, these native east coasters spent every possible moment at clubs soaking in as much music as they possible could. It was this passion for the music that inspired them to start DJ’ing. Their style blends tribal, tech and progressive house with elements of trance and breaks. Not limited to genres, Dany and George hold themselves to only one rule – if you love it, play it.

Having spun at 340, Alphabet Lounge, Happy Ending, Hook, Sullivan Room, Seho, and Voodoo Lounge in 2004, 2005 promises to be a busy year as Dany Veltri and George Macys start a new monthly residency at Remote Lounge NYC, where thet will be playing alongside the likes of Steve Gerrard, Ben Lost and DC’s EMC Crew.
