----------------------------------------------------
Sonny James Peterson, better known as DJ Statik has been dubbed the busiest DJ on the planet by folks all over the globe. Best known for his role as 1/5th of Philadelphia’s most prolific and well respected DJ/Production crew, Illvibe Collective, he has made leaps beyond even his own expectations, making significant accomplishments while gaining the respect of his peers and mentors.
As the Philadelphia resident dj for Scion’s monthly and quarterly functions, Statik has been able to showcase his talents alongside the biggest DJs in the business including DJ Jazzy Jeff, Mark The 45 King, DJ Premier, Bobbito, and Grand Master Flash. Furthermore, his role with Scion has taken him on the road to DJ at night clubs, art openings, and international car shows in various cities throughout the United States. His work with International artists such as Bahamadia, Hezekiah, Schoolz of Thought, Jneiro Jarel, and J-Live has placed him on stages all over the world in front of hundreds of thousands of people, sharing stages with everyone from James Brown to Coldplay. In 2006, Statik worked as the Music Supervisor for the critically acclaimed documentary, Scene Not Heard, an untold story of the women of hip-hop in Philadelphia. The movie, although still not officially release to the public, has screened all over the world and won awards at the Cine Noir, Humboldt International, Denver Pan African, and Trenton Film Festivals. This step in Statik’s career seemed to be a natural progression from all the work he’s already been known for internationally as a radio personality, stage show DJ, writer, model, turntablist, and selector.
You can expect to hear so much more from Statik and the Illvibe Collective in years to come as it is still relatively early in their careers in music. In the meantime, tune in regularly and catch Statik in the mix on one of his three radio broadcasts worldwide online (www.illvibe.net, www.ropeadope.com) and on the Shape of Broad Minds European Tour, April 11 - April 28th, 2008.
The SURE SHOT is now available on www.illvibe.net and www.215hiphop.com

"Statik is that motherfucker! He's been holdin down Philly for like twenty plus years already. I've seen him rock a hip hop crowd at Aqualounge in Philly like it was nothing a couple years back and then saw this dude in Miami killing a house set and I was like, 'You play that too???' Yeah he's definitely got a Philly vibe but he sucks at basketball."
