SWERVE @ Cafe Adagio w/ Chang & Ryder

“In general, a climax (from the Greek word “κλῖμαξ” (klimax) meaning “staircase” and “ladder”) is a point of greatest intensity or force in an ascending series; i.e., a culmination.” – Wikipedia

The dark empty space that is Café Adagio (on non-SWERVE nights) consistently becomes warm and comfy with gleeful party goers and electronic dance music enthusiasts every other Friday. We can’t thank you guys and gals enough for the support which has turned this night into an absolute success! In return, we promise to continue to give you what you want… underground beats, visual entertainment, and a place to dance, network, and socialize. As we build towards our SWERVE “climax” (so to speak), the culmination of dj talent remains solid with every show we conduct. On Friday August 21st, we are proud to welcome 2 more very talented individuals to the decks as we continue to make our ascent!

International dj Chang Bang began his career in the USA over two decades ago. He held the longest residency of any dj at the famous Gainesville nite club, Simons! Chang DJ’d with artists like Laurent Garnier, Felix Da Housecat, Deep Dish, Green Velvet, Richie Hawtin, John Acquaviva, Mark Farina, John Digweed, and Danny Tenaglia. However, let’s not focus too far on the past… Chang has never constituted to one sound. He encompasses a plethora of music. Born in Manhattan, NY. Raised in NY and Miami, FL. He has sought out such diverse obscure sounds that he excites and entices his fans with the unknown and unexpected. Currently Chang Bang is the resident at Cheap (Tampa, Fl.), one of the only metro hot spots in Tampa for music, dining, lounging, and networking. Chang is also a volunteer in the Moses Foundation for the Street Music Workshops teaching music, djing, and hip hop for at risk youth in the Sulphur Springs community. Not too mention he is also the dj for Shunda K’s (Yo Majesty) live shows locally and abroad. Chang Bang’s reputation speaks for itself so now is your time to witness him live and in stereo!

Born and raised in St. Petersburg, Florida, Ryder was subjected to the very popular hip hop culture of the late 80’s and early 90’s. Since then, his musical taste has evolved into a style that connects elements of electronic music and the roots of urban and island music. This unique style isn’t heard very often in these digitally evolving days of dance music. Heavily influenced by Latin and African percussion, Ryder’s organic sounds, drummy basslines, and tribal rhythms will surely keep your body in a groove. Focusing more on the production side of EDM these days, Ryder is ready to turn some heads and showcase his djing abilities on this special SWERVE night.

As always, we give our dedicated SWERVE patrons a chance to enjoy the show FREE of charge. Come before 10:30pm and enjoy the progressive sounds of our resident dj Steve Graham while taking advantage of the extended happy hour drink specials which start promptly at 8pm. We hope you will save this date and come SWERVE with us @ Adagio once again! See you all on the dance floor.
