DJ MERRITT

1989, playing his unique blend of hard-house, tribal and progressive
beats on the main floors of some of the city's best known clubs. He
is one of the originators of the SUGAR BABIES party which ran for seven
years, was one of the main players in the long running latin-house party
CAFE CON LECHE and was the first d.j. to play at the infamous TUNNEL
night club (MERRITT was responsible for spearheading that club's now
notorious after hours in the fall of 1993).

and GRACE JONES's BIRTHDAY PARTIES, THE AIDS DANCE-A-THON ( with MADONNA,
VANESSA WILLIAMS and ROSIE PEREZ ) , QUEEN LATIFAH'S 1999 MTV MUSIC
VIDEO AWARDS after party and one of PRESIDENT CLINTON'S INAUGURATION
NIGHT GALAS ( with "MARKY" MARK WAHLBERG. His first pairing
with Mr. Wahlber was the opening of CLUB USA ). MERRITT has also been
part of night club evenys featuring ( once again ) MADONNA, PRINCE,
DONATELLA VERSACE, FAITH EVANS, TOTAL, BIG PUN, SALT N PEPA, BUSTA RYMES,
