Friday May 1st, Mighty presents the return of two of the 1st ladies of house music Djs, Heather and Colette. Opening set by SF's Zita Molnar (Ostfunk, Plunk).
HEATHER: In the past few years the Chicago house community has produced a number of innovative and distinct djs trained in the art of transforming tranquil dance floors into spaces of sheer bedlam and bliss. Derrick Carter, Diz, Mark Farina and Sneak stand at the forefront of the nouveau jock barrage born and bred in the underground gatherings which flourish there. Their committed visions of undiluted musical appreciation, interactive communication, improvisation and basic integrity has brought greater attention to all the city's great djs including the genre busting DJ Heather. Widely regarded as one of the premier selectors in the nation, this Brooklyn born Chicagoan demonstrates her skills and sharp deck acumen for the massives throughout Chicago and the world at large with verve and undeniable talent.
COLETTE: DJ, producer, vocalist – Colette has grown from an integral part of the Chicago underground into a breakout musical triple-threat releasing her most accomplished and fully realized artistic statement to date. Combining the tunefulness of classic pop songs with the thump of classic house of her hometown, the album ventures into new sonic territory for Colette, from intimate bedroom beats to stadium-shaking dance anthems. When the Music’s Loud is the sound of an artist at the peak of her powers.
ZITA MOLNAR: Zita is a San Francisco based DJ with a classical violin background. Her weekly podcast / radio show is called "Sound and Machine" and is available on iTunes and Soundcloud to download. Lately, Zita is focusing her efforts in the studio and has had her first single released on the Berlin based label, Ostfunk.
