FRIDAY March 3rd
An Open to Close DJ Set From:

:::::::::::::DJ THREE::::::::::::::

Three has been tirelessly holding the flag for underground electronic music in the US since his rise out of the sunny state of Florida in the early 90’s. In that time, he’s emerged as one of the brightest DJ talents in the US and continues to be a true inspiration for many of us. Three’s tour dates show both diversity in audience and a genre-bending passion for good music; he’s held residencies at NYCs Twilo, Cielo (Robots), Love and Blk Market Membership, as well as Florida’s legendary Simons club and the 10 years running Snatch night in Tampa while playing lauded guest spots at San Francisco’s Wicked party, Fabric (UK), Panorama Bar (Berlin), Club Eleven (Tokyo), Blk Market Membership (NYC) and forward thinking events like Japan’s Labyrinth Festival and Australia’s Rainbow Serpent Festival.

Three started the Hallucination Limited label in 2003 as an off-shoot of the seminal US 90’s label Hallucination Recordings which was founded by dance music legends Rabbit In The Moon. Hallucination Recordings was responsible for some of the freshest techno (licensing the Hazed – Bells EP to Richie Hawtin’s Plus 8 label in ’94), proper electro (miami bass legends Dynamix 2 and Jackal & Hyde) and benchmark releases like Second Hand Satellites – Multiple Mirrors EP (produced by Three and Sean Q6). Armed with a sound that borrows equally from vintage acid-house, techno and underground electronica Hallucination Limited is held in the highest regard getting attention from a wider audience than most most labels reach. One of the ethos of Hallucination has always been to release music that years later that is still relevant and timeless on the dance floor. A perfect example of this is Cassy’s Circo Loco mix CD “Inspired By The Sound Of The Circo Loco Terrace” for the July 2011 issue of Mixmag… which contains no less than five tracks from the label catalog! Three’s eclectic taste as a DJ and producer shine through just as brightly in his choices for the label.

Following the path of his appeal as a DJ, his rare forays into producing have become staples for DJs of all styles. Three’s remix of Mish Mash feat. Lois – ‘Speechless’ (Lost in Translation mix) for heavyweight UK label Crosstown Rebels received praise across the board including “pick of the month” in the 15 year anniversary issue of DJ Magazine while other productions such as the underground staple that is Second-Hand Satellites and remixes as Three A.M. (with David Christophere of Rabbit In The Moon) of U.N.K.L.E. feat. Ian Brown – ‘Reign’ continue to be played on dance floors around the world from DJs as diverse as Harvey, Ricardo Villalobos, Seth Troxler and Lee Burridge.

Coming from the school of American DJs like Josh Wink and Doc Martin, Three has a wide ranging musical palate akin to Andrew Weatherall or Laurent Garnier, and was recently featured as part of DJ Times Magazines DJX20 Anniversary profile series as one of twenty DJs who embody the spirit of the American underground along such contemporaries as Josh Wink and Claude Von Stroke.

Aside from his natural ability on the decks, Three sets himself apart from the rest of the pack by presenting eclectic sounds with an open-minded attitude towards everything he does. From DJ sets to musical output, Three is a “DJ’s DJ” who has always leaned toward the cutting edge without losing touch with the roots of house and techno.

The best DJs live and breathe music all day long, but you only get to hear them for an hour at a time. It’s time to change that. At EPIC, it’s all headline. Every month, talented locals and visiting guests will take over the whole Re-Bar, for the whole night, so you can hear what they’re all about. Not just what they can find the time to play in a one-hour slot, but what they’d play for you and your friends in their living room. Not just the hits, but the inspiration behind them.

Open to close sets are a true test of any DJ and a challenge that most live for. They are a chance for the DJ to immerse the dance floor in the groove, shift the focus across the full experience and tell a complete story.
