Jace was influenced by dance music at the early age of eleven. Hip-Hop and then later on House and Techno became the norm for him to be playing on his stereo. Early musical influences for Jace included: NWA, Public Enemy, EPMD, Armand Van Helden and Plastikman. In 1992, Jace purchased turntables and a mixer for his expanding vinyl collection. This purchase only increased his thirst for more music. Through the nineties, Jace compiled a massive record collection made up of hip-hop, house, trance and techno. The diverse sounds that Jace has listened to in the past have allowed him to use many different sounds in the music he produces. Jace has been a recognizable face on the Southern Ontario techno scene for a number of years now. He maintains a steady calendar of gigs around Southern Ontario; mainly in Toronto, London and Kitchener-Waterloo. Jace has a unique blend of techno that has won him fans all over the world, as he has played at nightclubs and parties in Las Vegas, Orlando Fla, Madison Wis. Zurich Switzerland and Hannover Germany. On the local scene, Jace has his own bi-weekly night at Kitchener-Waterloo’s foremost underground club, The Revolution. This opportunity to promote and DJ a night has allowed Jace to meet and work with other DJs and promoters. What strikes fans and colleagues alike is the fact that Jace is so approachable and knowledgeable. Jace has had many successes in his local scene and is always looking for new places to showcase his talent
Hugo M was introduced to music at a very young age growing up with an entire family with musical capabilities. His earliest recognition with House music takes him back to trippin 1-2 and 3 from MC Flipside and cream anthems 95-2000s (to name a few). In 2006, he got a hold of his first pair of CD turntables, but it wasn’t until May of 2010 that he decided to perform live and just months after this surge of courage with his colleague Jeff Gomes they created Allure Entertainment. They worked hard with a team of DJs and promoters to make a name for not only themselves but Allure.
The hard work definitely has paid off for Hugo, earning him DJ slots in clubs all over the map such as Toronto, Montreal, Dominican Republic, Hamilton, NYC, Niagara Falls, St Catharines and his most recent debut at Push Ultra Lounge in Tampa Florida. He not only performs at clubs but also outdoor festivals & his favourite, boat cruises. He has put a lot of effort into the Hamilton boat cruises with his events partner which are now going on 7 years strong with over 20 cruises under his belt.
