Transform and Sean BE recently released the exciting dance rap single 'Jericho', which will be featured on xRhythms.
Transform are two Colorado-based DJs and record producers, Jonathan Burgess and Tim Heil. They are doing great things in convincing the American Church that pumping dance rhythms have a part to play in today’s Christian music scene.
Sean BE is an up and coming rapper from Denver, Colorado. He has released three singles in the last year, and his collaboration with Transform gives the EDM team a whole new dimension to their musical armoury.
Transform produce a weekly, syndicated radio programme.
As well as releasing a stream of music, on which Jonathan and Tim’s wives often contribute, Transform produce a weekly, syndicated radio programme. Their show, Movement Radio, showcases more Christian dance music from around the world.
Transform has been involved with dance music for a long time now. Their dance music show grew out of the monthly events that they ran in downtown Denver.
Jonathan told Cross Rhythms, “We started throwing these monthly events to reach the rave and the club culture at the time. We saw all kinds of unchurched people - party kids, we would call them - come to know Jesus.
"It was so exciting. We had a warehouse in downtown Denver where drug dealers would come, kids on drugs would, and we would just pack this thing out. People in the music industry - the local club scene - were really excited about what we were doing because it was so positive.
"The vision of that whole season was, 'Let's throw a big warehouse party - different from a club night because it was all night long and reminded everyone of the rave scene.' Then we threw a VIP party a week or two weeks later.
"We were able to invest in a fourth of the people who had been at the rave. That model was hopefully to get them into a Bible study - from a club to a Bible study. We were able to share the Gospel with all kinds of people from the industry, see party kids saved, buy a Bible for a drug dealer. It was really exciting.”
Transform continues to reach people all around the world.
Today, Transform continues to reach people all around the world, by using music as their platform to inspire life others.
