About Me


Dj Manzo was born and reased in Montreal in 1980. He began to make music in 1997 when he bought a set of Gemini turntables and a scratchmaster mixer, for those who know! He pratice for a couple of years. After he bouth is real material : Technic 1200 and a Vestax 06 pro mixer, he start to play in some skate competition and in some house party around his house.
A couple of year later he began to do some hip hop night in Montreal. At the beginning of this century he began to play at Saphir and for five years he played at the Kops crew night at Saphir on thursday, a night that as been over on the 24 february 2005. At the same time he as his own radio show with the USSR crew ( Union du rap de sous-sol in french !) on the saturday night at 12:00 p.m. at C.I.S.M. 89.3 FM.
After that, he started to work with Bill Pagar the man behind many records in montreal and we open up the record store : Disques Zulu (2116A De Bleury). This store as been closed down for administration problem !
At the beginning of may 2004 he became part of the Back to basic night at Blue Dog on saturday with the famous dj’s (Dr one and Grand Thef know as Team Canada). It was the longest running hip hop night in Montreal. Rated top 3 best club night in Montreal by The Montreal Mirror Readers Poll 2003, 2004, 2005. The final chapter party was on march 18 th 2005.
During 2006 Dj Manzo has re-open a store inside Citystyle Store in Montreal. This store was open for years or so... Serato came out and probaly 99.9 % of the dj’s dedide to quit the vinyl market... So again we got closed down ! But Dj Manzo Still want to find a way to preserve the vinyl so he’s still thinking about a project for a records store...
Now, dj manzo his working on is own project... Stay tune...
