INICIO and Get Funk’d Fridays presents MENA, Troy Dillard, and DJ Sweets 12-11-15

Mena
A classically trained pianist, self taught guitar player and award winning Jazz vocalist by the age of 12, Music is all she has ever known. Today in her home town of Portland Oregon, Mena is a well sought after DJ, studio vocalist and budding producer. A creative gem and staple of the Northwest electronic music culture, she’s an easy favorite among house heads.

At the age of 15 she bought her first pair of Technics and never looked back. She’s been shamelessly bossing a mixer around for the better part of almost two decades and you can feel it when she plays. Her sound comes straight from the soul! Jackin, funky, deep, jazzy… whatever the style, her mixing it solid, clean and soul stirring. She knows what she is doing and it shows.

2013 was her debut year in production and she hit the ground running with 13 releases on 7 labels in 3 countries. She began collaborating with a myriad of house music and down-tempo producers and is a featured Artist for releases on Ficus Tree Music, Caboose Records, Native Soul Recordings, Caliber Sounds and Mark Farinas Label Great Lake Audio to name a few. The result of which has allowed her to enjoy a little success on the Stompy and Traxsource top ten in 2014!

Check out and follow her sounds!

We are very excited to be working with several new artist this month; local and national!

Marc and Troy might even be breaking out some originals they have been working on for the past year so be sure to catch some new jams from the artist themselves! We are also very stoked to be ringing in another year with Larry Lust! Lots of dancing ahead….. 🙂

Spending a bit of quality time with this guy at Escape In The Beats last year was more than enough to know we needed to bring him here to showcase his talents further. We are so proud to have Mr. Marc Fairfield gracing our decks.

For 15 years Marc Fairfield has shared his passion for house music. His well-crafted and technical sets have allowed him to play beside some of the biggest names in the industry. Sexy vocals, deep bass lines, and a wide array of instruments are staples in his sets.

In 1999 He formed Our House Productions; a production company based in Chicago. During that time OHP hosted parties with the best talent that this music has to offer.

He made Phoenix his home in 2008 where he continued to thrive as a DJ/Producer.
