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.

Keith also specializes in brand development with the house music scene. Some of the notable establish brands include House Society, Soundbar, Ambassadors, Taste, and Mi Casa Es Su Casa.
Keith Evan has played a major role in the deep house community throughout the US dating back to the early 90’s. Most notably the past 11 years where he lived in Las Vegas and helped pioneer the deep house movement along side partner Carlos Sanchez in which those two formed the House Society Crew. Under the House Society umbrella they created the first solely deep house event back in April 2001 titled “Soundbar”. Their event has broke many artists within their genre into the Las Vegas arena. Soundbar currently is a one-off event and is approaching their 11 year anniversary at the Marquee Nightclub inside the Cosmopolitan with Joey Negro.
On the national and international stage Keith has partnered with Julius Spates aka Julius The Mad Thinker in 2009 with the Mi Casa Es Su Casa Holiday, which takes place every year on Columbus Day weekend in beautiful Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. Three years in and it has already proven to be a main stake in the festival type engagements. Together they tour throughout the year in building awareness for the Mi Casa Holiday community. Currently you can catch them in Los Angeles, New York {Cielo}, Detoit{DEMF}, Miami{WMC}, Atlanta[HITP}, Philadelphia{SUNDAE}and Costa Rica.
In addition Keith also does the Ambassador series which rooted in Miami at WMC in 2008 as the official closing event on the last Sunday of WMC. He partners along side Rob Paine of Worship Records/Philadelphia in this project. This too has evolved to other cities including Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and Playa Del Carmen, Mexico.
Keith is now residing back in Los Angeles where he is originally from after 11 years of relentless work in Las Vegas. “It was just time to go. I felt I had done everything I could as far as providing Las Vegas with a legitimate and internationally respected platform for deep house. It was a long but fun journey and we did it the right way. We built a foundation and took it to the top. We proved a lot of people wrong and were able to put deep house on the biggest stage and biggest marquees. I feel blessed as I always felt I got there at the right time. It goes to show when you put the music first anything is possible. Now I am putting my energy into new projects as Mi Casa and Ambassadors and most importantly in the studio. This is my focus.”
