Lee Jones, Sundae Founder & Imagineer
"I play music for the people, DJs don't dance." --Lee Jones circa 1994.
Every city has a person, that is not known by the mainstream, but is truly respected and followed by the underground. In the 5th largest city in the United States that mantle is held by Lee Jones. His name is shouted throughout the Northeast and whispered around the world. Thousands of people have danced to his music, leaving completly satisfied.
Never a purveyor of the commonplace, Lee has traveled the world extensively but chooses only a few select places to spin. He has lifted dancers hands in London, Barcolona, Brisbane & Paris, but Philly is where his heart lies. He just likes the "Casualness of the City." When ever you're in the area stop by and hear Lee at work, he always says "My music is better than my bio anyway!"
Erica Baran aka The Baraness Von SoDef, Sundae Resident
Abstract art was the original expression of Erica's creativity. Once a turntable was added to her "creativity mix" after she graduated college, The Baraness really began to turn it out! House music, of all genres, is her passion... and passionate is a great way to describe Erica. Her 'joie de vivre' clearly comes through in her choice of music and her style of mixing. The Baraness began DJing at parties and then grew to guest appearances in South Beach, Miami, London, and New York City. Recently, notable weekly residencies at Sisters (12" Happy Hour) and Pure (Sundae) have solidified Erica as a house music force in the city of brotherly (and sisterly) love! 12" Happy Hour, Adventures in Deep House: A Von SoDef Podcast vonsodef.podomatic.com
Sundae's concept is to explore dance culture just beyond the scope of the mainstream, thereby illustrating for our guests the groundbreaking ideas that will influence the trends of tomorrow.
