Carl Craig is described as a creative visionary, a groundbreaking electronic music icon, an inspirational artist, an esteemed Grammy-nominated composer, a world-class DJ and an ambassador for his native Detroit. Yet the common thread that runs through Craig’s broad musical canon and creative projects is a resounding fascination with futurism. Carl Craig has cultivated a unique path as an artist, entrepreneur and civic leader, guided by his tendency toward forward thinking.
Born in Casa Blanca, Morocco, Jubilee understood the power of music at a young age. He watched as his father played old records and instruments such as the tarbouga, the aoud and the bandir. Arriving to the U.S. in 2001, Jubilee immediately took to the streets of Washington D.C. as a club promoter for Panorama. During this time, his interest in becoming a DJ grew while watching people like DJ Alex Kelly in 2001 hit the tables for six-hour sets. Noticeably inspired, he was soon handed the headphones and hit the ground running with innovative sounds inspired by his own unique and culturally infused sense of rhythm and beats.
As co-founder and resident DJ of “Life”, Mike Fisher has helped to establish one of Washington D.C.’s most esteemed parties, now into its third year. A graduate of the reputable Berklee College of Music, the Boston native started his career working behind the scenes for some of the most influential acts in electronic music. Fisher’s mixing skills and knack for track selection have secured him gigs across the country alongside some of the major players in today’s underground movement like Jamie Jones, Lee Foss, Lee Burridge, Visionquest and Josh Wink to name a few.
