DJ PRiMe iLL

Personal Bio: PRiMe iLL was first introduced to jungle back in the mid 90’s when hip hop and alternative was really boomin. Soon after hearing a couple mixed tapes, decided to go to his first underground “rave” in KW, where he soon learned that it was more of a vibe then a music style! His first big T.O. rave was New Years 1996… it was “United we Stand” presented by Utopia, Syrous, Destiny and Dose! Many more obviously followed! PRiMe iLL received his first set of turntables, tech 1200 MK2, from a cousin, a deal at a $1000 bucks, then he went on the internet and found out what the hell he had to do with these things, and well that’s where the djing started! Seeing that there was plenty of potential in the “519”, Cambridge, KW, Guelph, and surrounding areas, as far as jungle/dnb was concerned, PRiMe iLL decided to start a production company which he named 420 Shady Street Productions. PRiMe iLL then organized a few parties alongside ReddiSupply Promotions which was co-operated by DJ’s Overdose and the one like DJ Scratche (http://scratche.ca/) who all soon realized that the support wasn’t there and their inexperience/lack of $$$$$ was partly to blame. In early 2004 PRiMe iLL met up with *Delirious Dee and *DJ Wigs (*CSS C.E.O.’s) through some mutual friends, and well this was the beginning of the CSS 519 and another go at promotion! With the production company now established in the 519 with over 60 jams held in just 2 years since inception, PRiMe iLL and the “Chronic Soundsystem 519” crew have turned a dry area into an exceptional fresh scene w/ plenty on their plates for long time to come. As a crew they have promoted jungle/dnb steadily on Souljah Sessions Radio 88.3FM as well as endless amounts of postering the “519” club districts, Universities/Colleges and intersection street poles, they have managed enough response to have brought out such big name dj’s and mc’s such as D Bridge, Submerged, Souljah, Demolition Man, John Rolodex, Marcus Visionary, Capital J amoung many others. On the side PRiMe iLL helped to publish 2 records under the Cook’n’Curry Record label co-owned by himself and the one like Phodee6. With sales completely cleaning them out of stock, PRiMe iLL looks to publish the third CC Record sometime in late 2006 to early 2007. Having said all this PRiMe iLL is also happily settled with his girlfriend HooLi HawTneSS who also spins dnb for Chronic Soundsystem, and they have actually combined their styles of dnb into a very progressive dance floor masher that has them getting booked a lot more often together as of late.
