DJ Brainstorm

About Me

DJ Brainstorm has worked for 16 years all over the Midwest. Influenced by all genres of party music (80's, 90's, House, Hip Hop, Rock..etc..), Brainstorm likes to bring a high energy mixing style with creative music programming, advanced crowd reading abilities in the live setting, precise mixing, and quick scratches to keep the party jumpin'.Currently holding down residencies at Carbon in Peoria on Friday & Saturday Nights every week. Brainstorm has now added live music video mixing to his arsenal along with his ability to just mix audio. He has worked professionally in Radio as a Mixshow DJ for the past 8 years all over the United States and currently is working on the Retro Kiss Mix which airs on KISS-FM in Peoria IL every Monday-Friday at Noon and The Beach Mixdown which airs on The Beach 101.7 Long Island, New York at 10pm every Friday night.
