S T A F F__&__ B I O S Corrosion is brought to you by smytii and Balti. Smytii: She's been here for almost a decade, but prior to that she spent the 80's and 90's in the Big Apple, frequenting all of those clubs you've heard about (Danceteria, Mudd Club, Max's Kansas City, Studio 54, Peppermint Lounge, Limelight, The Bank, Batcave, Pyramid, CBGB's). Drawing from that knowledge has proven successful--Smytii began concepting/developing Corrosion in 2001, working with a team of talented people over the years, including MC Tram, Oletheros, dj Jolene, Solaries, and a full roster of fabulous guest djs. She's also been a guest dj at "Cryptkicker" (Baltimore, MD), "Purgatorio", "Schadenfreude" and Zucchabar (Washington, DC), and several "Strictly Locals" events with Balti at Strangeland Records in VA. Smytii's range of musical tastes runs the gamut and will keep the floor moving! Smytii got back to her roots in 2005 at Chief Ike's "Midnight Monday Madness", spinning punk, hardcore, and "loud, fast and ugly music" for most of the year with dj Jolene. In 2007, smytii was a resident dj at Club Orpheus in Baltimore, throwing out high-energy dance tracks for everyone to enjoy. In May '08, smytii and Balti were honored to be selected as the official dj talent for the NHL's "Hockey Fights Cancer" event in Maryland - a one day extravaganza featuring fundraisers, bands, vendors, and even an alumni game.

Smytii is a communications design graduate of Parsons School of Design in NYC--so her socks always match! Balti: You've caught dj Balti's sets as a resident dj at "Rapture", as well as guest dj gigs at "The Garden", "Mixer", and "Taboo" in Baltimore. 2007 also brought several appearances at Strangeland Records' "Strictly Locals" events, and Cyberden in Columbia, MD. In May 2008, Balti and smytii were honored to be selected as the official dj talent for the NHL's "Hockey Fights Cancer" event in Maryland - a one day extravaganza featuring fundraisers, bands, vendors, and even an alumni game.
