LEE JARVIS
A fusion of multi-cultured London upbringing and current Chicago lifestyle, Lee Jarvis brings a hybrid style that reflects both his roots and present surroundings. One of the most exciting young DJs to emerge over the last few years, Lee’s blend of house and techno spans deep disco dubs to jackin beats to tech house tracks, all mixed with his customary energy and passion. This unique style has seen Lee play at most of London’s major venues, plus many other UK, Europe and US gigs.

Alongside his burgeoning DJ career, Lee has released some killer tracks for labels such as 4Kenzo, Lost My Dog, 1200 Traxx and Headtunes.

With all this and more under his belt, Lee is developing into a major talent and gaining international recognition. As one of the hottest new names in house, Lee Jarvis is one to watch.

HotDish (1ST SATURDAYS @ BLACK) occurs EVERY FIRST SATURDAY of the month at the infamous First Avenue Record Room. The HotDish Mission: to provide a venue for the HotDish sound while fostering the local scene in a spirit of collaboration and unity. Guiding principles make us aware of malicious social structures so we encourage both diversity and philanthropy. We reach out to foster the underground EDM and hip-hop cultures of the Twin Cities to preserve who we are.
BLACK
Every Saturday in The Record Room
Saturday nights in the Record Room are thudding with the sounds of the underground while an eclectic mix of party-goers gather downstairs for Too Much Love. The music upstairs - a fervent big brother to the sounds below - is hosted by techno heads Particle People, techno/house dynamos Loud + Clear, and funky house doctors HotDish. These three crews work collectively to institute a dance-culture favorite in Minneapolis - fittingly dubbed BLACK (if you've been in the Record Room, you know why).
NATE LAURENCE
If persistence and passion is a recipe for success, Nate Laurence (Minneapolis, MN, USA) characterizes the journey. Nate is the quadruple threat: veteran DJ since 1994, prolific producer, event-coordinator, and label owner.
