Brief Experience :
What do you get when you take two devoted, underground house music fans from Boston & New York, combine their distinctive tastes for tribal & progressive rhythms and blend it into one neat package? You come up with the entity known as Midnight Society, currently one of the industry's fastest rising DJ/Producer teams in house music. Originally founded in 1996 by DJ/Producer Curtis Atchison with DJ/Producer Erik Reyes joining the realm in 1999, New Yorks Midnight Society Productions has been responsible for some of dance music's most popular underground hits. Going back as far as the summer of 2000 with their very first vinyl release, 'The Tone Depth EP' on Nervous Dog Records, Midnight Society has been responsible for more than 30 original productions & remixes within the last 5 years. Several of these releases have made their way to the Billboard Dance Music Charts which includes two top ten remixes and many other top twenty chart toppers.
