About Me


DJ Smuve is a 31-year-old Turntablist/Club DJ whose versatile mixes push the boundaries of how many people see hip-hop. DJ Smuve began his musical endeavors at the raw age of 15.
NewlyWed and fresh to the Portland/ Vancouver area, looking for bigger and better things to come in their direction.
DJ Smuve delivers musical dishes that are sure to delight any tuneful tastebud, mixing beats and mashing musical styles. Has been known to rock a club like a house party, remix on the fly and battle like a turntable warrior, DJ Smuve spins every musical genre into a melting pot of audio entrees sure to keep you hungry for a second dose of electrical genius.
Smuve’s recipe for greatness has been influenced by DJ Kool Herc, the old school funk of Grandmaster Flash and mash ups from DJ Z-Trip, Grandmixer Q-Bert, Steve D and the X-Ecutioners. Also a clasically trained pianist and percussionist, DJ Smuve's fingers know their way around a turntable.
