"DJ JFX" In Hip-Hop and Reggae (music), the DJ is considered to be the foundation of the culture. As a profession- DJ(ing) is as diverse (if not more*) than any other profession related to music. DJ JFX utilized that philosophy by making his own contribution to the art forms of both Hip Hop and Reggae music. He was introduced to the art form the early 80’s and then relocated from the Chicago area to Southern California (San Diego*) and started out spinning in the local club-circuit as well as began (freelance) writing for several (Hip Hop) publications internationally.. JFX assisted on the “Fantastic 4” (Hip Hop) radio show (Power 106-Los Angeles) coordinating booking of their guests as well as incorporating the booking of reggae artists knowledgeable of the importance of their inclusion into the show’s format. JFX (Program Director) of the “Rootz Revolution Radio” show w/partners "Ms. "Shelly Rootz" and "RudeGal" (of www.RudeGal.Com). He also toured (and DJ) for legendary reggae singer: “Half Pint” performing at San Francisco’s Club Dread (summer 2004). JFX is also a contributor to Southern California’s most comprehensive (reggae) site www.rudegal.com. In 2003, JFX produced the (critically-acclaimed) hip hop track “No Love” (released on 12” via “StrongHouse Records”-Los Angeles) featuring his San Diego’s premiere M.C. “Mr. Brady” (*who JFX has DJ’ed for and toured with since 1995). “No Love” is also currently featured on the “StrongHouse 2” compilation hosted by the legendary “Sway” of “The Wake Up Show”.
