Bio
It is said that everyone on Earth is separated by at most six degrees of separation. It is our belief that like-minded individuals are separated by only three.
In 1999, three DJ’s and three promoters came together with the intention of uniting Chicago's underground music scene. Joined by friendship and a common love for house music, they arranged for their closest friends to meet on Wednesday nights to converse, lounge, and dance to some of the world's most innovative house music. Membership cards were issued to ensure that only those who were introduced by friends would attend, keeping true to the ideal of 3°.
As 1999 drew to a close the intimate group of friends grew in numbers but still managed to maintain the atmosphere of cohesive friendship and hospitality. A monthly newsletter was circulated to each member to ensure that the intimacy of 3° would not be lost with growing membership. Each month a personalized letter was sent to thousands of new members, and soon evolved into a weekly email letter designed to nurture old connections and bridge new ones as our family grew.
The new millennium brought new partners and new ideas. A monthly 3° Foundation Party was created in San Francisco, CA to meet demand on the west coast and is soon to be celebrating its 4th year of continual operation. A Foundation Party in Washington, D.C. was also founded in 2003, with wonderful results. Annual parties at the Winter Music Conference in Miami have created a tradition of the Some Call it House… We Call it Home Tour, which traveled to 9 cities in the United States and Canada in 2003. The Some Call it House… We Call it Home Tour has helped build connections with some of North America’s most prestigious and soulful house music families and has exposed the 3° idea to thousands of individuals nationwide.
Julius The Mad Thinker
If you close your eyes, open your ears, open your mind, and let your
body flow, you will find yourself in a new plane previously
unexplored. Seamlessly blended tracks vibrate your spine while
soothing your soul. Many people refer to the genre as house, but
Julius the Mad Thinker makes it home. Approaching each endeavor with
heart, soul and passion, Julius builds you up gradually through loops
of energy bursts and just when you reach your climax, he drops you
back to a lounge state awaiting the next climb to the peak.
With Julius the Mad Thinker, you must "Witness the Dynamic" . . .
This illustrious dynamic was first identified by the founder of Large
Music, Jeff Craven, when he invited Julius to open and close the first
annual Get Large party at the Winter Music Conference. From there,
John Davis, a top NYC promoter and co-founder of Body&SOUL, witnessed
the dynamic when he came upon Julius and installed him as a resident
of Sunday Sessions in NYC. Chicago house pioneer Chip E, witnessed the
dynamic when he invited Julius to be interviewed for house music
documentary, the Unusual Suspects, to which Julius was the youngest
interviewee to appear. And NYC's Undaground Archives Choice Award gave
tribute to the dynamic when Julius was awarded the "Best Emerging
Talent" recognition.
First exposed to dance music in the sixth grade, Julius went on to
become a DJ and producer in 1994. Since that time, Julius has
developed a charisma behind the turntables that can only be described
as a dynamic that fills the room. Coupled with "the Mad Thinker"
title, which was given to him by MC Miles Bentley of Rec Center,
Julius makes no move as an artist haphazardly. Be it the tracks he
plays, the order in which he plays them or the EQing which brings out
a melody or rhythm in a whole new way – all these elements which
comprise his dynamic are meticulously plotted throughout his
improvisational creative process.
As the co-founder and partner of the internationally renowned
promotional and DJ collective, 3Degrees Global, and a resident of the
3Degrees "Some Call It House . . . We Call It Home" tour, the dynamic
has been witnessed throughout the most notorious clubs of house
music's homeland in Chicago, including Smartbar, Soundbar, Sonotheque,
Ohm, The Note and Zentra. Across the nation the dynamic has been
witnessed on the main stage at the Detroit Electronic Music Festival,
Marques Wyatt's DEEP event in LA, Soul Revival in Boston, Devotion at
The End Up & Pink in San Francisco, Club Five in Washington DC, Pearl
at Nikki Beach in Miami, Kevin Hedge and Louie Vega's Roots at Cielo
in New York as well as stops in Hawaii, Canada, Mexico and France. In
addition the dynamic has cross pollinated with house legends via
Julius DJing alongside Frankie Knuckles, Joe Claussell, Farley
"Jackmaster" Funk, Lil' Louis, Derrick Carter, Louie Vega, Derrick May
and Ron Trent amongst others.
As he continues to manifest this vision in music, Julius says, "My
purpose in this journey of music and life is to help others get to
places that they never imagined possible, and as a DJ, I'm here to
live that message as an example."
DJ FLX
FLX, which is pronounced "Fe'lix", Music has been with Felix from the beginning with record shopping at the age of 8 with his mother and his first Dj gig inspired by his father at 15. He has been influenced by his family, friends, everyday life and individuals from around the world. FLX has been able to create a place for himself and his eclectic sound in Hawaii,San Francisco, Chicago, New York, and Miami. "I have come to believe that Music is the key to happiness. I believe in 'format presentation'; programming selections that fit the times, phrasing the music into a piece, manipulating sound to create a feeling, matching beats to be recognized and understood."
FLX now finds his home in Chicago where he shares his unique Dj sets and musical vibes. Be prepared to experience the Sound of Chicago.

Monna
One of Chicago's most innovative and diverse talents best describe Monna.

Who is Monna? Monna is a Dj/Producer and co-founder of 3 Global which is known for its "Some Call It House", We Call It Home" North American Tour and its weekly members-only gatherings. Monna is also the Sales/Promotion Manager for EsNtion Records (Chicago's "House of Music" label which has proven to be a legitimate "star making" company by launching chart-topping artist under its labels EsNtion Silver, EsNtion Latino and Forever Soul). A first generation Liberian, born and raised in Chicago, Monna grew up with house music. He watched it evolve from the disco scene and soon began adding his own creations and interpretations through his musical talents. Monna began his career mentoring top DJ's such as Sneak, Derrick Carter, Mark Farina, Diz and Ron Trent. Monna's DJ sets and production work both reflect his progressive thought and his intoxicating sound scapes grounded by rugged melodies that grab your heart. He has worked with many acclaimed percussionists, musicians and vocalists including: Leddie Garcia and Frank Orral of Poi Dog Pondering and has a keen sense that lead to his discovery of rising vocalist, Ava Fain. An emerging production talent with an amazing ear for sound, Monna has already hit the charts with his latest work "Forever" on Forever Soul, part of the Lake Street Project.

That is above and beyond the 8 weeks it spent on the Billboard Club Play charts. Even more astonishing is the fact that it is almost always in the Top 20 of those charts. As a 3 Global co-founder, Monna's steady strength and passion for life and music has helped create a grass roots industry alliance based on the six degrees of separation. With a membership of 5000 music connoisseurs a large part of 3 Global's success is the ability to bridge many communities through the common love of music.
