DJ Samir

Born in Brooklyn, NY and raised in College Park, GA (The Greater Atlanta Area). I became a music junkie because of my family. When I was a kid during 70's, it seem like every relative had 2 turntables, mixer, 8 track player, and Reel to Reel in their crib. Playing good music from Blues to Soul. My cousin from Queens introduced me to Hip Hop in the summer of 1979. On a mix tape, his brother kicked rhymes over the song 'Good Times' by Chic. This was a few months before 'Rapper's Delight' came out. In 1981, 'The Adventures of Grandmaster Flash on the Wheels of Steel' was released. This record inspired me to become a DJ. I practiced on Pop's belt drive Dual turntables. Mixing early Go-Go records like Slim - 'In the Mix' and Trouble Funk 'Drop the Bomb'. 1988, I got my Wheels of Steel and the rest is history.
