DJ Skill
It all started for me in 1979 after witnessing a DJ spin Rappers Delight at my aunt’s house party in Flatbush Brooklyn. I was 12 years old and in awe of witnessing a live DJ up close doing his thing on the wheels of steel. I recall immediately saying in my mind, I want to be an MC. Now bear in mind I was completely fascinated with the intricate and artistic creativity of being a DJ however I vividly recall often times like so many of us way back then rapping in front of the mirror and reciting Rappers Delight- Sugar Hill Gang verbatim from beginning to end consistently while thinking I was an MC. LOL. Now I always had a keen ear and love for the Disco music of the 70s as well due to my mother God Bless her soul. She would always bring home 45 and 12 inch records every week with all of those classics. I will Survive - Gloria Gaynor, Ring my Bell-Anita Ward, Good Times- Chic, Movin- BrassConstruction, Love Hang Over-Diana Ross, Love is the Message-MFSB and so many more!!! But again to reiterate Rappers Delight just had that combination of Disco and the art form of rapping that really did it for me! During my following years of growing up in DO or DIE Bed-StuyBrooklyn I encountered and had the privilege of observing at block parties and park jams numerous street DJs and MCs who had a substantial impact and influence on me with respect to this music game. Such names as DJ Grand Master Flowers, DJ Frankie D, DJ Darryl Ice, DJ Funk Master, DJ Rated X (RIP), MC Johnny D, MC G- Kool the Body Rocker, MC E.Z- Rock, MC Shaz and numerous others. During this time I became MC Grand-G. LOL. Those were the days! I credit DJ Darryl Ice with teaching me how to scratch and myself with how to mix. I would do tapes, parties, shows and battles with our crew The Crown Heights Nation. I must admit that during that time I still collected various genres of vinyl records to either rap to or keep in the stash because I loved to dance. I still have the same collection which has expanded to thousands of records over the years. I was a true club head back in those days always eager to attend a good club with good music, The Paradise Garage, Red Parrot, Roxy, Latin Quarters and the list goes on! To sum it up I was approached by a good high school friend King of Chill who asked me to be his DJ for the group Alliance. We dropped an album in e can get used to this on Atlantic Records First Priority. I did shows with our label partners the Audio 2, MC Lyte, Positive K as well as Big Daddy Kane, Rob Base and so many other hot rap groups of the era back then and the rest is history. So I would like you to invite you to join me and Dj Kraven every week in "Da Club House" ..... ;)
For me it all started in 1977, when Dj Larry G, and MC Eddie O'Jay formed the TNT Crew in Laurelton, Queens NY. The TNT Crew added additional members MC Billy B, and promoter Dead Fred. At the time we were doing jams in Cambria Park and numerous house parties. It was at this time Dj Larry G, who's Dad owned a Dry Cleaner's (Norm’s Nu Klean) on Burnside Avenue in the Boogie Down across the street from Grand Master Caz, leader of the "Cold Crush 4". met with him. Soon after we met Jerry D. Lewis (JDL) and invited the Cold Crush to one of our Block Parties in which they gave a great performance. They then asked that we come to the Bronx and do a show at the Allerton Roller Rink. By 1978 my cousin Eddie O'Jay and I formed the "Clientele Brothers" it was then we made numerous mixed tapes and got our name known. We did shows with the “Albino Twins” (Charlie Chan & Kid Lance and Dj Jesse James, The SuperLover MC’s and Dj QuickSilver, Chucky Chuck & the Rappermatical 5, The Terrible 2 (Rapper Ron & Easy T), and “Baby D & Ultra Sounds. Back then I was known as Dj Mr. Gene of the Clientele Brothers. By 1981 we added “Easy-E" and "Will Seville" It was then we met promoter Les Love who put us up against some of the Bronx's finest. We did shows with the likes of the “Funky 4 featuring Sha-rock, Grand Wizard Theodore, Kevi Kev and the Fantastic Romantic Freaks, “Busy Bee Starsky”, Fonda Rae, Strafe, Phyllis Hyman and many more. After the departure of "Easy E", we added MC "Mikey D". It was then Mikey D who introduced O'Jay and myself to a youngster named James Todd Smith "LL Cool J" a raw but talented MC. At the age of 15 O'Jay and I adopted the young LL Cool J whom I asked what his named meant and he stated Ladies Love Cool James, and he was eager to learn practicing about every day with us. Fast forward O'Jay, Will Seville, Mickey D, Dj Johnny Quest and myself were asked to do a promo for Jesse Jackson's Presidential Campaign. It was then I made my MC debut as Gene West. It was there we met the Aleems (Taharqa & Tunde Ra) and Leroy Burgess ("Release Yourself", "Confusion", "Fine Young Tender") and spent time in the studio with them while they were making their hits. We continued doing shows in the New York, Tri-State area mostly small clubs and the Springfield Tennis Club. After hanging out and partying at Bentley's, Silver Shadow, The Garage, Latin Quarters and the Savage, I fell in love with House Music. House Music was not just music, it was a feeling. In 2010 DJ Kraven was born and my quest to keep em on the floor craven for more was adopted. So I would like you to invite you to join me and Dj Skill every week in "Da Club House" ..... ;)

DJ Greg Nicer
My love for music started when I was a small child. You could say that I was spinning tunes before I was able to read. I can remember knowing which side of the record to play just by looking at how long or short the words were on the record.
As I got older I heard of this thing called DJing and in 1976 tried my hand at it. I remember going to parties and listening to DJ's like Grandmaster Flowers, Bambaata, Kool Herc and The Lovebug Starski when he use to pair up with Kool DJ AJ and I said I can do that too.
There was an older guy named Darryl and he had two Technics SL-1800 turntables a Clubman One-One Mixer and all the crates of records. I then started to hone my craft of mixing tunes and making cassette tapes. That is how I started in my early teens.
I didn't have my own turntables so I joined a crew called The Disco Friction Crew, (I know corny name) and we would come out to the parks and battle other crews. That is how it all started for me.
Da Real DJ CJ
My name is Da Real DJ CJ I'm 17 years old, I was born and raised In the Bronx. Music was embedded in my soul since I was old enough to "Bounce to the Beat". But what makes me so unique from the other dj's i stream with, is that i have a disability called cerebral palsy this disability is not a inability because it has only allowed me to show my capabilities. I don't let this discourage or hinder me from my hopes and dreams of becoming the next hottest DJ providing music and mixes worldwide. i enjoy all genre of music and always had the desire and passion to get any party started, especially a "Old School" party, which made me known as the "youngster with a old soul." This status made my name known within the 5 boros. See i started dabbling with DJ equipment at the age of 5 years old and by the time i reached 9 years old i was customizing my own mix cd's. between the age of 10-13yrs old I was djing for my school events, family picnic, birthday parties, baby showers and community events. At the age of 14 my journey continue to excel I was featured on VH1second season episode as the guest DJ on the love and hip hop reality show (Jim Jones birthday party) at the age of 15 i played at the worlds famous Apollo Theater for a 10yr old birthday party and i dropped a track "footwork" performed by the voice of the city Will Traxxs and it didn't stop there, at the age of 16 i got the opportunity to audition and show my talent and skills for AllCityRadioNYC and realized that i started from the "Bottom and know i'm Here", but it wasn't all me i had parents who believed and were supportive in my talent and skill and provided all the tools necessary to follow this journey with me and make this dream a reality, therefore I'm so appreciative and blessed. So if your looking for a "Old or New" school party check me out every Friday Night from 9-11pm on "The Friday Night Party Mix" then Instagram me @Darealdjcj or Facebook me at www.Facebook.com/Darealdjcj and for future bookings contact me at 1347 847-9185.
