About The Craft: Behind The Decks

Real DJing is about more than just pressing play. When I am at the console, I am live-mixing, scratching, and reading the crowd to blend Hip-Hop and Afrobeat tracks on the fly. It is about hitting that perfect transition, init. I keep the floor moving with zero dead air, giving you that authentic club energy right in your living room or at your wedding.
