Establishing his solo career and running Hallucination Records full time, Monk stays busy remixing world renowned artists like Sting, Limp Bizkit and even Britney Spears. Coupled with his newest audio-visual project "Hallucination on Film", it is easy to see why DJ Monk is in demand all over the world. In fact, his remixes are taking the Billboard Dance / Club Play charts by storm and charting in Billboard's Top Ten most recently with Cooler Kids "Punk Debutante", Boomkat's "The Wreckoning" and T.A.T.U.'s "All The Things She Said." As one of the most versatile DJs around, Monk is known for his unique DJ sets ranging from traditional hard bangin' house vs funky breaks style with a touch of drum and bass and Hip Hop to a deeper "Dark Side of The Monk" set that leans toward a darker tech-house meets tribal & disco house style. If Monk can't make yo' booty move, yo' booty must be dead. Voted in BPM magazine as receiving the "most fan eMail nominations" in the country and one of America's forefather of the Hallucination-Generation, orginator, innovator, guaranteed to rock tha party, Monk continues to freak the funk week in and week out headling shows across the nation, at times appearing with dancer "Skandalous" and MC "Cles One" rockin the house with him side by side. With a brand new DJ Monk mix CD, original 12" tracks in the not to distant future and the custom live visual "Hallucination on Film", we are very much looking forward to this very special appearance in Kansas City, MO at the Grand Emporium on Friday, August 11, 2006! Drop in on his web site, www.djMonk.com for more information! You can also check out some of his most recent tracks on MySpace at MySpace.com/djMonk, or Hallucination.com
Opening the night will be one of the best BreakBeat acts in the Kansas City area, Cold Front ! This tag-team duo (RJ Bass and DJ Prato) formed with the ambition of bringing a new era of BreakBeat music to Kansas City has been changing minds and attitudes. Helping accomplish this is their weekly radio show on FrostedBreaks.com, which has recently begun to receive international attention! For a little taste, have a listen to them in this month's "on decks" column, FrostedBreaks.com or NuSkoolBreaks.co.uk
Recognizable as Kansas City's most important landmarks of music, it's history goes back as far as most people in Kansas City can remember. Over this time, it has always maintained a solid reputation for showcasing some of the best talent seen in the music industry across nearly every genre. It has only been in the last year, after a complete remodeling, that Dance Music stepped up to the plate at The Grand Emporium, easily complimenting it's already diverse lineup. With good sound, a clean sleek appearance, as well as a bar and lounge area that are out of the way of the dance floor, this is the kind of evolution that has allowed The Grand Emporium to be passed from one generation of dancers to another. Whether it be Blues, Soul or Dance, it has always been the place to get your groove on. More information about the Grand Emporium can be found at their website, kcClubs.com. DJ MONK LIVE 10 pm to 3 am
