DJ Mookite:
Mookite is the eclectic DJ project of Michael Fox, offering vibrant, healing sonic journeys grounded in rich, moody tones. Named after the multicolored jasper stone, Mookite reflects Michael’s deep connection to sound as a tool for transformation. Just like the stone’s earthy hues of orange and purple, Mookite’s music weaves together warmth, groundedness, and duality to create immersive experiences for dancers. With a background in massage therapy, Michael brings a unique sensitivity to his sets, not only to evoke healing but to also get the funk down! Based in Asheville, NC, and originally from Richmond, VA, Michael channels his passion for sound into both the body and the soul.

Guidelines
-VOICES on the dance floor: The dance floor is a talk-free zone. This allows dancers to engage in movement as a meditation, to go within, and to be more embodied without distraction in proximity.
-VOICES off the dance floor: We have created a tea lounge and chill space off the dance floor and quiet voices are encouraged in order to engage with others in a different way when you're not dancing.
-SHOELESS: We ask that you are shoeless in the space. If you have a physical reason to wear shoes, you are welcome to - we simply ask that they are not shoes you wear on the street.
-RESPECT: Be respectful of yourself, of others, and of the space/venue.
-PHONES: the dance floor and chill spaces are phone free zones. This allows dancers to be present fully.
Beat Church was started in San Francisco in the early 2000s by the amazing DJ, Neptune, who saw a need for a new cutting edge underground dance offering.
We want to continue and build on that tradition here in Asheville for the existing vibrant dance community.
