*Super* Mario Massa aka DJNR8

. . . dealing better breakbeats since 2003!

About Me

With a grassroots, do-it-yourself, thinking outside of the box and breaking all the rules mentality, DJNR8 (pronounced dee-jen-urr-ate) has taken the Better Breakbeat Bureau from nothing more than a concept and turned it into a full-scale, all-encompassing breakbeat promotions and productions company. Never satisfied by the conventions that surround him and inspired almost wholly by the music, he continues to spawn a breakbeat scene where there once was none in existence. He continues to push breakbeats to the forefront, playing local clubs that never accepted breakbeats before, finding outlets for breakbeat shows from out of town that no other promoters in Milwaukee would lay their hands on, and making breakbeats a main stage attraction at the parties and raves that his crew gets booked for. With the help of Ryan Thrasher and the rest of a crew of passionate, in-it-for-the-music DJs, he has helped the Better Breakbeat Bureau become one of the most revered crews in the midwest. His music selection is one of the most advanced when it comes to breakbeats. He can deliver breakbeats ranging any number of styles or moods, and he never backs down from a new challenge, always working to get the dancefloor moving. He has filled recent opening timeslots for DJs such as DJ Monk (formerly of Rabbit in the Moon), Reid Speed, Danny the Wildchild, Keith MacKenzie, DJ Fixx, Justin Long, Rob Lemon and Jen Symmetry.www.BETTERBREAKBEATBUREAU.comwww.ABDUCTIONRADIOLIVE .comwww.myspace.com/BETTERBREAKBEATBUREAUwww.myspace.com/THE BUZZADDICTSPast Aliases: Marz the Beat Thief Mario Marz DJ Gasface (LOL!!)Bands performed in: Shiverhead Nagasaki GoldPerformed in: 8th Note Coffeehouse [Milwaukee] Smartbar [Chicago] Sept.
