About Me

The Link

Always a party favorite, Link consistently comes correct every time he plays. Having established a solid following spinning drum and bass for the NYC raving massive over the past 9 years, this versatile DJ gave up limiting himself to one type of beat, bpm or genre. Throwing seriousness out the window, he keeps a grooving party vibe that smashes a-list clubs, underground raves, smelly dive bars, fashion parties and leaky basements. Seamlessly blending genre after genre, whether it’s classic soul, hip hop, 80’s power ballads, top 40 bubble pop, electro and everything else, he strives to rock the floor and make you sweat. If you can’t dance to this, you ain’t got no business having feet!
