MOON BOOTS - French Express - USA
Moon Boots entered the world in the mid-1980s via Cape Canaveral. After years of service as the preferred footwear of celebrity astronauts (notably Tom Hanks), Moon Boots came to life during a classified experiment aboard the International Space Station. Little is known of what actually transpired aboard the shuttle, but in short, Moon Boots became a sentient creature, equipped with reason, intuition, and groove.
Before long, he grew tired of working for the space-military-industrial complex and found solace in the soothing sounds of underground disco and R&B boogie records. He knew it was only of matter of time before he was hung up like so many boots before him. He abandoned the program and used his savings to build a music-production studio in an unnamed U.S. location, where he is currently working.

Dru then locked himself in his room and learned the art of mixing and scratching by himself and under Techno Pioneer Mike Huckaby who gave Dru his first playing out gig at Detroit’s Burns room above St. Andrews Hall in 94. Dj Dru has such a unique style of mixing with his excellent track selection, constant mixing,ability to create sounds, and tricks sets him aside from every other dj..Dru has played all over the U.S.A and at many events and festivals. Dru was one of the original members of Bang Tech12 with the late Dj Eclipse(rip),Minx, Magda, Dj Seoul, 8en, dj Watts and Todd Perin. Dru also performed at the first D.E.M.F(Detroit electronic music festival) now called Movement on the C-Pop stage were he played a 3 hour set on Sunday night to close the festival.

MUZZY

https://www.facebook.com/
MuzzY is Detroit-Based Producer/Musician Dan Hacker. Thrust onto the scene at a young age, Dan found solace in the old school. Stylistically blending Motown and Jazz samples with modern hip-hop drum breaks, his music can best be described as "Soul-Hop". He combines a wide variety of influences from Stevie Wonder, to Led Zeppelin, to J Dilla with his own live Guitar playing; which together makes for an interesting recipe set to tantalize your ear drums. You can catch MuzzY bringing back the funk around Michigan and the Midwest, and also with the likes of GRiZ and Tone Poets (Live Jam Band with Freddy Todd, ill.so.naj, and Unc).
