Over the past Decade the Carolina's underground has witnessed Skinner emerge as one of the leading providers of the Breakbeat sound. In the process, he has earned a reputation for creating a unique energy through his hard-hitting style of breaks and his ability to move the dancefloor!
His sets consist of all of the aspects that the Breakbeat genre has to offer but his passion lye's in Electro. His sick track selection is only complimented by impressive technical skills...which include his DMC style cuttin and scratchin. The result of this frenzy of skill and hot track selection, is an individual who provides a sense of euphoria through sound!
This has earned him the opportunity to play all over the nation at countless events and clubs...delivering the bass and funk like only he can. Having shared the decks w/ such highly acclaimed artists as Doc Martin, Derek Carter,Terry Mullan, Hippe, Halo, Scott Henry, Magic Mike, Qbert, Roc Raida, Faust & Shortee, Craze, FreakyFlow & Flipside, Irene, Keoki, Micro, Danny the Wildchild, Uberzone, Icey, Jackyl n Hyde, Phantom 45, Soul Slinger & TC Islam, DJ Wally...aka Pish Posh, Baby Anne, Simply Jeff, and almost every top act in the southeast region.
In addition to being one of the Carolina's most requested and popular DJ's, he has also held 10 residencies at clubs in the region, and currently is the resident at The Charlotte Underground. Where he is now able to dip back in to his Hip hop root's and use his turntablism skillz to draw a larger crowd into the DJ culture. Floating in and out of Rock, Hip hop, Top forty and Breakbeat every Wednesday night has sharpened his skillz even more than ever!! Expect to see him droppin the dopest Electro and Bass breaks at events across the country or at The Charlotte Underground every Friday night!!
He is recognized as one of the original electro breakbeat purveyor's in the Charlotte area and his consistent effort to promote a strong Dance Community...is just one of the reasons he is a beloved figure in the region.
D.J. Skinner is currently working on original material that will be released on his label Bass records. This combined w/ a very busy schedule of playing dates, Skinner is constantly on the go, but his love for the Breakbeat sound and for the underground, help him to continue to work towards being a true force in the Breakbeat culture.
