DJ DYNAMITE BRINGS NEW MEANING TO THE IDEA TEARIN' DOWN THE HOUSE

Coined in Swedish in the form dynamit, the word was taken from Greek word dunamis meaning “power”. It has been used to imply exceptionally wonderful and exciting sentiments, as well as inferring danger. Our next DJ appears to exude all of these characteristics when he works his magic on the decks! DJ Dynamite, who currently hails from New Jersey and was born and raised in Jamaica until he was 5 yrs. old, is an artist who has convinced us that he knows the industry like the back of his hand.

He knows what works and what is redundant in the turntable biz. His knowledge is powerful and his mixes are pleasantly, "dangerous" to the voyeurs who regularly seek his musical tonic. Dynamite's work is rich with infusions of Hip-Hop, Classic Old School. various House genres and jacked with dashes of the latest Top 40 Hits, just to keep his listeners one breath short of dance floor euphoria!! Dynamite is an effective DJ who can work a crowd into a frenzy of nocturnal bliss and musical highs with just the drop of a trax! Only a DJ bearing the name of, "Dynamite", could possess a talent so coveted as that!! "My music selection really represents my personality. I'm a very open-minded person, so I tend to reach across all musical genres. I like to spin a little bit of everything. I also like to throw in those, "OH SHIT" tracks. You know the ones where you ,"Oh Shit, I know he didn't just play that? That's my joint, I haven't heard that song in years!" (DJ Dynamite, Buzz Exclusive DJ Survey 09').

Covering all genres, Dynamite's original foundation evolved out of a deep respect and admiration for the multi-faceted talents of night club industry pioneers such as: DJ Jazzy Jeff, Red Alert, Riz, Sizzahandz, Marley Marl, Tony Humphries, Todd Terry, Armand Van Helden and Funkmaster Flex.This artist's style, grew in it's complexity and individuality as his career flourished. Having spun in night clubs all over NYC, he has also been show-cased in other great party cities such as: Miami, Phily, and Atlantic City (at least 35 different venues, with repeat performances). He is currently the resident DJ at Glo Lounge in New Brunswick, NJ.

He has explored the different roles within the DJ industry and enjoyed being associated with various remix houses for a while. However, being a purist and a "true blue BBoy" at heart, he has brought his mad, life-long passion for music full circle. At the end of the day, Dynamite derives the greatest satisfaction and joy from spinning for HIS regular club "family" network in Jersey. Consequently, what this artist has learned about himself on this journey of musical self-discovery is that "seeing everybody on the dance floor having a good time and seeing them leave at the end of the night all sweaty from dancing all night." is what's most important for Dynamite in order to feel his work is successful. He also knows that he has honed his ability to read a crowd based on their dynamics and adjust his set accordingly AND on the fly! This adaptability is truly indicative of an artist that is confident in his own abilities and in working the music in such a way, he is able to masterfully mold to the set to suite the temperature of the crowd. It seems critical to reinforce an important aspect about DJ Dynamite's personality that has stood out for us throughout our interaction with him during this exclusive Buzz Survey interview process. Dynamite's possesses a genuine sage humility.

Having been in the industry over 20 years, this is a man who's been there and done that. When asked what was his most memorable event that he has spun at, his answer wasn't a self-inflating egotistical response. He unpretentiously claimed...a house party and simply because of it's "raw energy" (DJ Dynamite, Buzz Exclusive DJ Survey 09'). He's got a fun personality with a clever sense of humor that he enjoys sharing with his listeners during the more social moments of a gig. Yet, Dynamite never strays from his mission to rock his patrons and literally "tear" the house down. It is because of this keen and intuitive sense of the perfect party "vibe", MTV has recently flagged Dynamite as one of their chosen ones!!! Currently, MTV is on 6 week casting call tour through New Jersey, searching out the perfect participants for their upcoming new reality TV show, "Hot Chicks With Bad Boys". Dynamite is the DJ who has been SELECTED to set the stage for these potentially explosive gigs! Yet as we have learned about this artist, he fears nothing but failure itself and embraces this more recent career challenge! After all, it is a well known fact that MTV has it's thumb on the pulse and heart beat of American youth culture. With this being said, only a "proven" DJ would be selected to appease the voracious appetite of highly party savvy crowd of ego-driven A-type personalities! DJ Dynamite is anything but typical and predictable.

It was kind of a spur of the moment thing. I wanted something that pretty much explained my style but also had a nice ring to it. My first name starts with D so for a few years I was known as DJ Dynamite D. After a while I just dropped the "D" and now I'm just "Dynamite".

2. What kind of music do you like to spin?

My music selection really represents my personality. I'm a very open-minded person so I tend to reach across all musical genres. I like to spin a little bit of everything.
