DJ A RUN“DJ’ing, it’s a way of life,†comments A Run.
“Actually, it’s my life.†Since the emergence of
Turntablism in 1994, DJ A Run became intrigued with
the art of DJ’ing at a young age. Touching and moving
records to manipulate a sound that would soon produce
a pulsating beat…â€That’s just my style,†declares A
Run. “It wouldn’t be unusual for you to hear the
sounds of Busta Rhymes during a night out then later
being blessed with a little David Bowie. Steely Dan
anyone? “I like to combine elements from various
sources and as a end result it produces an eclectic
soundResiding in a number of Philadelphia suburbs: Chestnut
Hill, Manayunk and Willow Grove, A Run soon made his
home base in North Philadelphia at Temple University’s
main campus. It was here that a solid foundation was
formed for cultivating his eclectic technique as well
as supplying a sound education in musical pleasure for
all audiences. With the guidance of Philly vets Jo-Jo
Dancer, Anwar The Star, DJ Hard Rock, Kool DJ Frank
and DJ Wise, A Run credits these DJ’s with aiding him
in perfecting his craft.In 1998, equipped with the skillfulness that the
previous greats had passed down before him, DJ’ing had
proved in A-Runs favor and his notoriety became
heightened in the Tri-State area. Venturing from
Chester, Lehigh, New Brunswick, NJ to becoming
Camden’s favorite DJ, A Run soon developed a
relationship with Philadelphia radio station Power
99FM. This resulted into a long successful
partnership.Upon departing Power 99 a number of major-sponsored
nationwide college tours unfolded: The Polo Jeans and
Habitat for Humanity Collage Tour that visited
colleges: Temple, Leigh, Rutgers and George Mason
Universities and the phenomenal Jay-Z Hanger Tour.
Cooperate ventures include rocking the stage with
throw back rap icon Moonie Love, to hosting various
events and venues: The Bad Boys of Comedy Jam, Hermosa
Beach, California, the ultimate Addidas Sneaker &
Clothing In store and a host of many more.The alliances and relationships that DJ A-Run has
built through out the years with Scratch Mechanic’s DJ
Excel and an array of celebrities and colleagues,
A-Run has always remained grounded. The positive
energy he exemplifies on and off the tables is
unmistakably his own. This Del-Vall veteran is a
breath of fresh air; just take the time to inhale and
experience the true art of turntablism.THE MOVEMENT FREESTYLE (MAKE ME BETTER REMIX)
