S T A F F__&__ B I O S Corrosion is brought to you by smytii and Balti. Smytii: She's been a Washington DC resident for almost a decade, and 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. 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. You can find out more here. Smytii and Balti were also invited to be a part of "Dracula's Ball" in Philly, a recurring theme party and one of the largest in the country, over Labor Day weekend of 2008. As c365Radio's owner, producer, station manager/program director and on-air talent, smytii crafts the direction and vision of the station with Balti - in 2009 they interviewed and produced segments featuring Mia Hamm, Chuck D of Public Enemy, Faith and the Muse, Ken Gardner, the FealGood Foundation, Washington Capitals Player Development Camp, World Football Challenge's AC Milan and Chelsea exhibition game, and many other events.
