The rebirth of SWERVE took place back on May 15th, 2009. Since then, we’ve brought some of Tampa Bay’s best underground talent to a building that has much history; Café Adagio aka the old Budious Maximus. Alongside resident DJs Steve Graham, Navi, and M.E.E.K.O. (aka Min//Max), Andy Mara, UnaSlim, Butch Johnson, AE, Mark Burgess, Arturo, Bob Skies, Craig Heneveld, Brain Busto, Ryder, and Chang Bang have helped to set the stage for this big night which will be a historic one indeed.
Ladies n gents, boys n gals, hipsters n ravers… mark your calendars for Friday September 4th as we are honored to bring a true legend of Florida’s underground EDM scene to SWERVE with us on this very special night! This man has seen and lived what everyone talks about today… EDM’s hay-day… that time period when everyone was gleeful and filled with cheer (both naturally and chemically induced), but all united through the syncopated beat nonetheless. As we all know, the underground will NEVER die so on this night of mayhem we invite you to SWERVE with us to the underground sounds of Grumptronix (Erotic City / Hallucination Limited / Miami)!!!
“Music. To some it's background fodder while you're at work or something to sing along to in the car or the shower, a passive accompaniment to the everyday goings on of one's life. For a small percentage of people in society, music is everything. An obsession. A raison d'etre. Lifeblood. What your soul would sound like. Finding and owning that one record is a matter of life or death.
Above all else Grumptronix is a fan of music. The very "art" of DJ’ing is the elevation of a person's musical fan-hood and versatility to the level of performance and this is the most distinctive quality Grumptronix possesses. With an innate sense of tech-funky retro rhythms that never look back and spooky erotic bass lines he creates an unforgettable and immediate psychedelic sound that is as engaging and vibrant as it is memorable. Eclectic taste and an expansive knowledge of music and musical history provides the backdrop and foundation for one of the most versatile and creative DJ's in America.” - Sean Cusick & Peter Anthony
This short blurb doesn’t begin to touch the tip of the iceberg on the history of Grumpy’s impact on the EDM scene so please take the time to read his full bio here: http://www.myspace.com/grumptronix
This night wouldn’t be complete without the “appetizer beats” our trusty residents, Steve Graham and Min//Max, consistently dish out before the main course is served… or should we say, SWERVED! Be sure to arrive early as we expect a packed house. Take advantage of the 2-4-1 domestic beer special from 8pm-10pm, $9 sangria pitchers all night, and free give-aways. This show is not to be missed so get your Labor Day weekend started right. See you on the dance floor!
