Hot Mass pres Philadelphia's Finest: DJ Apt One AKA Michael The Lion & Shawn Ryan

Michael The Lion is the latest and greatest pseudonym of long-time Philadelphia DJ and producer DJ Apt One. Michael has been making waves recently with his original productions and edits for internationally renowned labels Soul Clap and Razor-N-Tape. He adapts the trademark sound he’s developed for over a decade - live instruments sitting seamlessly with sampled grooves to create organic, classic disco textures. The Lion sound is always funky, always strong and always ready for the floor. Most importantly, he is a proud gradute of Allerdice High School!

Shawn Ryan is a DJ and music lover living in Philadelphia. With over a decade of experience, he is best known for his range and depth where music is concerned, an expert distiller of time and place. Shawn is a co-founder of Universal Cave, a record label that specializes in resurrecting hidden gems of the past. Their debut release, Universal Cave's own "Around The Bend" edit was one of Juno Records best selling releases in 2014 and received support around the globe. The label has released edits from Jaz, Selvagem, Robotique and more. Shawn Ryan is also one half of Superprince, best known for their lovingly reinforced disco edits and often arpeggiated house tracks. Their debut 12" will be out on Razor-N-Tape later in 2016.
