DJ Two Heavy

Two Heavy has been a mainstay at the Empire Room for five years. Maybe that's because of his love for the house music so prevalent in KC clubs. Maybe it's because he looks like a taller version of techno heavyweight Carl Cox (minus the black-frame glasses). Two Heavy got his start at Empire after the previous DJ no-showed, and he's had the Monday-night gig called Blo ever since. He also plays trance and house at Club NV on Saturday nights, but he says he prefers bringing deep, funky, progressive house by means of two Pioneer CDJ 1000s and a Pioneer 909 mixer. He says it's a privilege to play whatever he wants on Mondays while continuing one of the longest-running dance nights in the city. After all, they call it Blo "because Mondays don't have to suck."
