About Me

A Word From The Sponsor:
We here at the LA DJ Group are very proud to present to the world - D.J. Merkury - We feel that this guy is a part of the future of music - He doesn't have any hatred within him- He's not out to get anyone - He is just an up and coming D.J. who loves music and has the gift of mixing and scratching - He knows his music and how to make music acceptable to others - We here at the LA DJ Group want the world to know that every kid in the world has a chance to make it and that you can make it playing records you want to hear - playing records the crowd wants to hear or even breaking a new record no one knows of yet - The only thing that most people overlook or didn't know was that some of his first records were punk rock - he played in an orchestra as a kid but has original pressings of some of the beatles records - so there's no telling whats coming out of the D.J. booth- He is just a nice guy playing some even nicer music.
Not to forget his mentors - Native Tounges, Radiohead, Murs, 9th Wonder, Hieroglyphics, Gangstarr, Q-Bert, Sugarhill Records, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Bad Religion, DJ AM, Pete Rock and CL Smooth, Mix Master Mike - and his equipment - Technics 1200's, DJM-909, and Rane Serato Scratch Live - and to the memory of a D.J. who slew a bear, and went on his way, or did he? Someone should look to see who is on the ground.
