About Me

My name is Craig, I go by DJ Nitrogen when I am spinning.

I currently DJ at Hard Mondays @ the Saloon nightclub and I am starting a brand new night at Ground Zero called The Next Element , this night kicks off on February 8th. For much of the 90's I was a professional DJ (meaning I didn't have a day job). I have been a resident DJ in more than 15 clubs in the twin cities including a year and a half in the main room of First Ave, a 4 year stretch in the VIP room of First Ave, a two and a half year run during Bondage a Go-Go Thursday nights at Ground Zero and almost 10 years at Gators at the MOA. If you would like to send me sample music please email me at [email protected] or send me a myspace message and I will let you know where to send it.
I am a five time winner at Twin Cities Nightclubs.com annual Twin Cities Best Club DJ contest, placing 3rd in 04, 1st in 05 and 3rd again in '06 and '07 and now to round it out I placed 2nd in '08
I write much more in my Other Blog then I do here.
