Chromeo (DJ set)
P-Thugg (Patrick Gemayel) and Dave 1 (David Macklovitch) met in high school in the mid-1990s when Macklovitch joined Gemayel's band. They signed as Chromeo in 2001 and started creating tracks in 2002. After their debut album, "She's in Control ," released in 2004, DJs began playing their songs all over the world. Chromeo has performed in festivals around the world such as Glastonbury, Reading, and Leeds in the UK; Fujirock in Japan; Iceland Airwaves in Iceland; Pemberton Music Festival in Canada; and Coachella , Bonnaroo, Rothbury Festival, and Lollapalooza in the United States.
Telephoned
Telephoned began in Brooklyn when DJ/producer Sammy Bananas (Fool's Gold) and singer/party starter Maggie Horn (Good Peoples) decided to record their own version of T-Pain's "Can't Believe It." After Sammy and Maggie's "Can't Believe It" quickly became a DJ favorite, they decided to keep recording as a team, naming themselves after the kid's game of Telephone.
Activaire DJs
Activaire, devoted to developing custom music programs, blends the disciplines of design and architecture with DJ culture.
The Rose Center for Earth and Space is one of the most beautiful public spaces in the world. Inside One Step Beyond, attendees can check out the Cullman Hall of the Universe and see artifacts of space and science, while the DJs and live acts provide suitably otherworldly experiences. Century after century, people have looked to the stars with questioning and dreaming minds. Sailors and farmers have found guidance; poets and lovers, inspiration; scientists and scholars, answers. But all of them, and everyone who has ever looked heavenward, have also found questions in the cosmos. Perhaps the most common question pondered over thousands of years is, "Are we alone?" An exhilarating journey from the depths of Earth's oceans and onward to planets outside our solar system, The Search for Life, narrated by Academy Award winning actor Harrison Ford, depicts how scientists are searching, as never before, for signs of life beyond our world.
