John Fresh -- DJ Jay-Ef

I have DJ'ed in SEVENTEEN COUNTRIES...Started at St. Luke's....been crazy ever since. Wop House, Shorty B-Strow's, Catherine Street, Civic Center, Roseland....wow.REWIND.. Since 1985 Newburgh, NY native DJ Jay-Ef (then JOHN FRESH) has amazed hip hop party goers and fans with his ability to manipulate vinyl in such an individualistic manner. Sharing stages with his partners, fellow Newburgh natives, FLY TY and T TUF they comprised the crew collectively known as The TITANS OF RECITIN and opened up for legendary acts such as LL COOL J, RUN DMC, KOOL MOE DEE and many other of yesterdays legends. The groups release Tonight b/w This Is The Way is still a regional cult classic and the live performances still referenced twenty years later.FAST FORWARD.. Serving as tour DJ for underground LYRICIST LOUNGE legends PUNCHLINE AND WORDSWORTH, JAY-EF has performed in 17 countries and has proven to be the catalyst for their internationally renowned stage show which is a throwback to the days of TRUE hip hop, live shows and lyricism. JAY-EF has also filled in on the set as tour DJ for MASTA ACE when necessary, lent many scratches to tracks by some of your favorite artists and has served as co-owner of Mona Hip Hop with DJ JOEY T (see BLOG for discography).During his tenure in the NEW millennium, he has opened for, collaborated, or shared stages with, TALIB KWELI, MOS DEF, SMIF n WESSUN , MOP, GANGSTARR, DILATED PEOPLES, PLANET ASIA BLACK THOUGHT and many more of todays TRUE MC's.LOOKING AHEAD.. Jay-Ef is also one of the six founding DJs of the internet radio show known as 845ALLSTARS.com which is due to launch this fall allowing domestic and international listeners an opportunity to share in what the upstate region is playing, feeling and doing. It is a unique mix of DJ styles, genres and experiences and promises to be a huge success.
