Light Touch
DUBSTEP DJ IN BALTIMORE, MARYLAND"A light touch is known by its contrast to other elements -- it can be soulful vocals, a delicate melody, or a transcendant vibe riding overtop the song and its hard beats, deep basslines and driving rhythms. As a deejay, I always try to push the edge of the sounds I spin, to bring a mood into the mix and make the listening experience pleasing to the mind, body, and soul. It's easy to be interesting, or make people dance, or move people -- what is difficult is to provide a little of each so that everyone can take away something positive from the experience." -- Light Touch
Light Touch is a rising star in the Baltimore nightclub scene, and an established name in the American UK Garage music scene, having performed throughout the Mid-Atlantic, as well as in Dallas, Miami, and North Carolina. In doing so, he has appeared among a virtual who's who of international talent: Talib Kweli, Rabbit in the Moon, Planet of the Drums, Goldie, Lady B-Line, Messiah, DJ Q, Scott Henry, Elektra, DJ SUV, Pendulum, and countless local deejays. Light Touch's demo CD released in late 2003, entitled "B-more Bounce", united the UK Garage sound with the local Baltimore Club sound, meeting with national and international acclaim, from deejays and club-goers alike.
He is also a founder of the 2-Charming Crew, a UK Garage deejay collective and event organization entity based in Baltimore. The 2-Charming Crew has been responsible for Delivery (Sundays) at SkyLounge in Baltimore, as well as handling the loungeside bookings for nearly a year at Blended/Deuce (Wednesdays) at Sonar in Baltimore. The crew has taken over a number of venues for one-off events, including Cubik @ Nation, Sonar, SkyLounge, Mint (Redwood Trust), DirtboxRadio, and Destroyer.net radio. 2-Charming Crew deejays are ubiquitous throughout the region's club scene, bringing some of the hottest next-generation dance music sounds available today.
