-> Bio / Comments:	Born in 1975 in Washington, DC, Ciconte began DJing in late 2002. A relative newcomer to the DC house/progressive scene, he is fast gaining recognition. He currently has a Friday residency at the nightclub De Lounge in Wheaton, and plays at various other spots around the Baltimore/Washington metro area. He is a member of Crichango Productions, a area dance music collective and party promotions group. He is also co-headed of the performers committee for the upcoming 2005 Baltimore Music Conference. Ciconte is now pioneering his new sound, ChiProgoFunk, which as you may have already guessed is a combination of Chicago House, Progressive House and Funk House. This really sound like a mixture between JJ Flores & Steve Smooth vs. Sander Van Doorn vs. Hoxton Whores. At his de Lounge residency he is sometimes know for throwing down a good retro 80's house set. In addition to DJing, Ciconte has been a web developer for the last 8 years and owns a new media company called Beatbox Media which among other things designed the Crichango and 2005 Baltimore Music Conference site along with countless other award winning websites for both musicians, companies, government, and individuals.
