The Afterhours Club
It started more than ten years ago. Today, the Afterhours Club is one stage at the Conerstone Music Festival in Bushnell, IL that has grown from that of a myth to a verified legend. Originally booked and run by legendary DJ Scott Blackwell (formerly of N*Soul Records) and currently managed by the gang at Tastyfresh.com, the Afterhours Club has brought you some of the best DJs and producers in the scene that just also happen to place their faith in Jesus. From punk kids to club veterens, Afterhours is the place to be at the Cornerstone Music Festival for a merging of cultures. See the line-up below.
The Afterhours Generator
And... if you didn't get enough of Afterhours at night, we'll be banging out beats throughout the date at the Afterhours Generator. Starting at 11 am and running until at least 6 pm each evening, catch even more DJs, hangout with the crew of Tastyfresh.com and grab some free food (while it lasts). See more below.

DeeFlash

Chris Reiche (AKA deeflash) has been DJing for 2 years now. Never content with doing the same thing twice, he is always looking to make his sets more engaging and exciting. Chris started DJing in his studio just to make mixes for friends. As he grew more confident with his abilities, he started to look for opportunities to DJ for crowds. Starting with just a laptop and a few pieces of equipment, he began DJing for his church's youth group. This then led him into DJ-led worship, private parties, a national youth conference, a secure spot as the Thursday night DJ at a young adult service/café and performing at concerts hosted at various venues. With his main focus on building relationships and being led by the spirit, Chris is becoming known for his ability to create atmospheres and work with crowds. |

Matthew Hyatt
http://www.myspace.com/matthewhyatt
Native to Grand Rapids, MI USA, Matthew Hyatt has been submerged in music since youth. Recording at an early age, through his teens he began to develop his production and musical skills. Starting on a two track, to a four track, to a digital environment, sound is still a moving force in his life today. The studio is much different now than when he first began to get involved with guitars, analog keyboards, drum machines, effects, and outboard sequencers in the mid 90’s. The iron dreamer is bringing his message and sound against all odds, and overcoming the giants in his path to push forward his passion for music and people. His current projects are running the Giantslayers label, and supporting Tekfunk with remixes and production needs. |

Shiloh
http://www.myspace.com/shilohbrothers
Colin and Justin Moreh are the 2 peas that form the Shiloh pod. The brothers are collectively 2 of the hottest and most prolific dance music producers around and have firmly entered in the A-list of producers of underground dance music. One of the busiest production teams of the last 3 years, Shiloh has remixed for labels like EMI and have enjoyed huge support by the who's who list of the biggest DJ's including Sasha, Paul Van Dyk, Tiesto, Paul Oakenfold, James Zabiela, Armin VanBurren, John Digweed, Hernan Cattaneo, Dave Seaman, Luke Chable, Nick Warren etc. etc., numerous plays on BBC Radio One, and their records have topped hype charts and record shop sales charts the world over with their very first offering, the massive "Will U Ever Come Around", signed to a reality TV series in the UK. They've also racked up numerous compilation appearances—among the most recent being Nick Warren's Global Underground 28 – Shanghai, Paul van Dyk's the Politics of Dancing 2, Dave Seaman's Renaissance Masters Series, as well as Luke Chable's Addicted mix on Platipus. Shiloh's huge mark on the industry in such a short period time has been cut deep as underground dance music as a whole anxiously anticipates each future offering and keeps them in constant demand. Undeniably, Shiloh has become a progressive house-hold name. |

Greg “Stryke” Chin
http://www.myspace.com/djstryke
Born and raised in Kingston, Jamaica, Stryke began his music career at an early age. He started playing classical piano at the age of four. Moving to Miami, Florida (where he still resides) when he was ten, Stryke became heavily involved in early electronic alternative scene. His love for Beethoven and Chopin were quickly joined by his new love for groups such as Depeche Mode and New Order (not to mention an unhealthy addiction to video games, which he still has to this very day). Buying his first synthesizer at age 12, Stryke quickly learned the ways of synthesis and began writing electronic music with his trusty monophonic Roland SH-101 synth. He soon discovered house and techno from a mix tape given to him by his cousin, a DJ in New York. He was hooked. At age 14, the young Stryke had already begun DJing to make money to buy more synth equipment. But after discovering this new underground dance music, he became as passionate about DJing as he was about making music.
Make no mistake however, all pigeonholing talk aside, when it comes to DJing, Stryke gets primal. He's considered to be one of the top DJs around today. His globetrotting schedule and growing legions of fans is proof positive of his ability to command dancefloors worldwide. His dexterity is proven time and time again. His live shows, while rare, are an even bigger treat. He's had Billboard chart success with his Ad Finem project and as a remixer. His guest vocal on the track "Time" with Murk, went #1 in the US in 2004. He's collaborated with artists such as Murk, Christian Smith, John Beltran, Santos, & Alex Flatner, to name a few. With releases on labels such as Ovum, Plastic City, Hooj Choons, Monoid, Circle, Guidance, Platform, Twisted, & many others, there seems to be no end in sight for this bright star. Over the years, his residencies have included nights at clubs such as the legendary Edge, Warsaw, Maze, & Nocturnal.
