by far the most prolific and successful electronic producer to
emerge from cleveland, dan curtin has released over 40 singles
and 5 full length albums on labels ranging from england’s
peacefrog, new york’s strictly rhythm, and japan’s sublime.
dan’s versatility is also evident in his releases as “purveyors
of fine funk” (with past collaborators tatsuro hayashi and mike
filly), and his recordings with hanna as “key of soul.” his own
metamorphic records housed early releases from titonton and
morgan geist, who were vastly influenced by dan’s percussive and
eccentric, while funky and soulful sound. with forthcoming
releases on catalyst, panhandle, and nepenta, we are sure to see
yet another side of dan curtin. yet the underlying theme to all
of his releases has been to create music that touches both
intellect and emotion. since returning from his swiss hiatus
nearly two years ago, dan has performed in cleveland only a
handful of times. at S H I F T, we are proud to host a special
dj set from dan curtin that is certain to move both the mind and
the body.
dan curtin was featured in this week’s cleveland scene magazine:

hailing from the d.c./baltimore area, douglas black cut his teeth
on the east coast party and club circuit. as an audio production
major at ohio university, douglas and his headroom digital
partners launched "headroom," athen's only weekly source for
underground dance music. as the athen's days ended, headroom
digital relocated to the fertile ground of northeast ohio. thus
douglas black's unique house vibe is unleashed on cleveland.
blending the deep with the disco, bringing in the techy and
leaving out the tracky, at S H I F T douglas black will not rest
until the vibe is perfect, the beats are deep, and the floor is
moving.

with appearances at both trilogy and mercury lounge, robb is
becoming known as one of the up-and-coming house djs in
cleveland. yet few people know of the depth and diversity of
robb’s collection, which he dives into each week at his
residency at the young lure bistro in historic downtown
willoughby. at S H I F T robb will be exposing his more mellow
lounge and downtempo side in the upstairs back lounge.

unwind upstairs, or move underground
where the beats are smooth, the vibe is thick,
and the dancefloor doesn't clear until the last record runs out...
