event: No Substitute ft. Mick Boogie
Aug 9th
Mark off Sunday August 29th on your calendar right now, because there’s only place you need to be that night and that’s at Five Star in Raleigh for No Substitute w/ Mick Boogie!
We’re proud to bring Mick down so he can share his appreciation of music with Raleigh. If you’re a fan of music, this will be a night to remember. Those of you familiar with Mick Boogie already know what’s in store, but just in case you don’t know what’s about to go down, we’re going to catch you up real quick:
The Music
Mick Boogie has created a strong following by handcrafting some of the most innovative mixtapes of our generation. He takes ideas and executes them into complete projects, working side by side with some of todays best rising rappers and producers. Helping to make household names out of some artists, he is the true definition of what a DJ is supposed to do. There’s even been a touch of North Carolina in his mixtape catalog as he has made tapes with NC’s own Little Brother and recently, Freebase 808.
The Fun
It doesn’t stop at locking down custom mixtapes, Mick is well versed in party rocking as well. In fact, he’s hopped on planes to spin everywhere on the planet. Crowds in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, Barcelona, Chicago, Beijing, Toronto, Paris, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Dubai, and New York have felt the effects of his party rocking ability, and now he’s bringing his trademark style to add Raleigh to the list!
The A-List
To say Mick Boogie is an in demand DJ would be an understatement for sure. He’s been tapped to spin parties for some of the biggest names in entertainment. When people like Jay-Z, Lebron James, Will Smith, Kanye West, and Diddy are knocking on your door to do parties that’s when you know you’ve hit the next level. Beyond celebrities, some of the biggest brands in the world have had Mick Boogie spin for them, such as MTV, EA Sports, Nike, Adidas, Ralph Lauren, Heineken, Microsoft, and the list goes on and on. It’s a true compliment if the biggest names worldwide trust a DJ so much with their events.
The Bottom Line
We say all that to say this: Mick Boogie is the definition of being a versatile DJ and has earned our respect as well as countless others worldwide. We want you to come experience why when it comes to Mick Boogie, there is No Substitute.
