About Me

A man, his dream and his Brains. Lott Mixx Monstaz (LLM) and Biskiz and Gravy! Peep the profile pages for DJ Slique and DJ Brayks....the actual BRAINIACS of THIS BUNCH. Spread the diasese, please? Thanks for just being you. : )

Nick James: spinning since 2000. Former National Pioneer Demonstrator, Former head of Marketing for Pioneer's Pro DJ Division, Current Director of Marketing at Promo Only. Solutions crew member, Hallucination DJ (FINALLY!!!!). Dj'ed in Las Vegas, New York, Miami, Ibiza, Orlando, Atlanta, Tampa, Birmingham, Los Angeles, Chicago (not at Level...LOL), Seattle, Nashville and a bunch of other places with a whole grip of fantastic talent. Special events for the likes of Jennifer Lopez, Heineken, LG, and ABC (I did a TV pilot...a WACK TV pilot). Best gig ever? Either Ibiza @ Privilege OR My house....by myself any weekend. :D
DJ Slique: Gotta get his bio...Look mang, get with it!
DJ Brayks: For the past 13 years, DJ Brayks has been rocking dance-floors from coast to coast. From early beginnings playing in small, hometown clubs and bars, to appearances at the X-Games, Ultra-fest (Miami), DEMF and various Super-Clubs around the Nation. His style and ability to mix and mash genres, produce, and create remixes on the fly make for an experience to write home about. Brayks is National Trainer for the Pioneer Pro DJ Division of North America. He is Gravy to Biskitz & Gravy (DJ Nick James & DJ Brayks), a 4 turntable duo that have sizzled grounds all over the US. Keep your eyes peeled for future performances!
One other thing. I'd especially like to thank the folks in Alabama for always being SO cool. You folks are the ones who made it fun in the first place so thanks for giving me that! Shout out to Bray, Jerry, Roonie, Neil Altneu, Brian B, Kris Plourde, Dean Coleman, Brett Belcastro, Matt Wisdom, Robert Dahl, and Steve McClure for the help. I'd also like to thank those of you who have listened to my CDs, burned them, and passed them along. Please keep doing so and please remember to pass along my information as well!
And one last thing...it has come to my attention that there are some fake "friends" out there...folks who wanna act like we're all cool and everything when they see me....I KNOW we aren't, YOU KNOW we aren't, so don't FAKE the FUNK. Don't ask me for my advice or for a hook up or whatever. It's alright. We're grown men . I can respect that you don't like me for whatever reason but don't make things weird or awkward by being fake, ok?
Be a man, say hello, and move on. Otherwise, you MIGHT get embarrassed in front of your "friends" when I call you out. I refuse to look you in the eyes and act like everything is alright. BUT If you wanna make things alright, I'm cool with that, too! Have a good life but have it without my name on your lips. If this offends you in any way, I'm probably talking to you.

What is commitment?
