DJs Benzi, Rock-It! Scientists, Costa and Tonnesen Set for SHRINE, July 2013

SHRINE Asian Kitchen, Lounge & Nightclub will keep things hot this July, as their "Sanctuary Saturdays" are set to welcome back some of the patrons' favorite acts. DJs Benzi, Rock-It! Scientists, Costa and Tonnesen will all be in the house to keep the crowds moving every Saturday during July.

Born and bred in Michigan, DJ Benzi kicked off his career from a small island outside of Detroit with his instant classic "We Got The Remix" series. He has worked with iconic artists such as Clipse, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross and Kanye West, and has performed alongside LMFAO, Gym Class Heroes, Diplo and Wiz Khalifa. In 2011, Benzi launched "The Mike Posner Show with DJ Benzi on Faction" on Sirius/XM, and founded indie label, Get Right Records, which has since launched new acts Solidisco and Silver Medallion.

Since forming, the duo Rock-It! Scientists have become one of the most sought-after DJ groups in the country. In the past two years, they have produced official hit remixes for pop stars like Far East Movement, Wynter Gordon, and hip hop prodigy, J Cole. Their DJ sets are masterminded full of live remixes, chart-topping hits and nearly forgotten classics. Landing gigs from Las Vegas to Atlantic City to China, the Rock-It! Scientists have proven they have the skills to rock any venue on this planet.

DJ Costa, voted "Best DJ" in Boston two years in a row at the Boston Nightlife Awards, originally made a name for himself by working at the city's number one radio station for five years, KISS 108. DJ Costa currently serves as a permanent resident at Big Night Entertainment Group venues, SHRINE and The Estate.

Rising from the hippest rooms in downtown New York and the fashion runways of the world, DJ Jeffrey Tonnesen has established himself as an up-and-coming dance music producer and big room DJ. His unique style and tailored sound have caught the attention of international recording artists, yielding remixes for Icona Pop, Cobra Starship, Nina Sky, Dev and Enrique Iglesias and official releases on Ultra and Big Beat Records.

Named one of Nightclub & Bar's top 100 nightclubs in 2013, the space is a powerful blend of Asian inspiration and style, with a touch of smoldering decadence.

Among Shrine's many amenities are an open kitchen, a 225-seat restaurant, and two private dining rooms, which can accommodate groups up to 40 people. Shrine also boasts the only state-of-the-art custom Funktion One Sound System and DJ booth in New England; 30 VIP bottle service tables; two full-service bars; and a frozen vodka and champagne bar.
