Just a few weeks ago, we had the distinct pleasure of awarding the Buzz Mix Master title to DJ EX of Hype Artist Management (http://www.hypeartistmanagement.com/), as he was the grand prize winner of the Lady Gaga Rmx Poll. The poll had run for approximately 2 months and Ex put forth an outstanding battle, rallying all of his peers, associates and fans to vote for him. It was a slug fest between he and DJ Mike Larosa of The Dream Team DJ’s, but in the end DJ EX graciously won, claiming the 7th title as his own. He won for his amazing remix of Lady Gaga’s trax “Love Game”.

DJ EX is no stranger to competition and in fact he seems to thrive on it. He rises to challenges placed before him and as a result, you will learn that he is an opportunist who seeks to make constructive opportunities to better develop himself as an artist and as an entrepreneur. DJ EX had his humble beginnings as most, but his biography charts a rapid progression up through the ranks and a respectable history of having worked alongside globally recognized artists in various countries. He has spun alongside mavericks such as Tiesto, Pitbull and Guetta. How much more notorious can you get??!! He has been in demand by the celebrity scene, as well as for setting the tone for trendsetting companies such as: Rockstar Energy Drink, Playboy Studentcity.com, IllinoisNightlife.com, Girls Gone Wild and performing in front of the camera for MTV’s Real World Cancun. His current residencies are in: Cancun Mexico, Playa Del Carmen Mexico, Rimini Italy, Chicago Illinois,  Austin Texas, San Marcos Texas, Philadelphia Pennsylvania, Indianapolis Indiana, Champaign Illinois, Charleston Illinois, Bloomington Illinois
Resident DJ for MTV and StudentCity.com's I heart Spring Break Tour !

DJ EX in our opinion is a professional party DJ, who knows exactly HOW to read a crowd and exactly the right cutting edge traxs to drop to kick the vibe up into high gear right from the get-go! The fact that DJ EX climbed so quickly to the top is a flag indicating his true talent and ability to conjure a party mood from weaving traxs together in such a way as to keep the crowd jacked from start to finish! In addition to keeping the party scene injected with the hawtest vibes, EX is also a philanthropist. He played a key role in helping to raise over $10000.00 for less fortunate toddlers. He definitely is a mover and shaker with an intense personal performance agenda.With the recent worldwide attention falling on the tragic death of the DJ industry’s king, DJ AM, there is a cultural fascination now with the glamorous lifestyle of the DJ. It is now a jet-setting profession that many individuals strive to break into.

However, the demands are substantial in all areas of a DJ’s life. According to EX, the biggest reward to being a DJ is “being able to do something I love as a career rather than being forced to be a suit...“ It is definitely a way of life and not everyone is cut out to keep up with the rapid pace of global travel, night hours, and the endless job demands such as staying on top and ahead of THE MOST current music being released. DJ EX’s musical preferences have been molded by the likes of Pete Tong, DJ AM, Daft Punk, and many others in the Hip Hop industry. Although being from Chicago, EX can’t HELP but have good House vibes running through his veins. This versatility is what makes this artist so appealing to the masses and in particular the hardcore party college crowd. They KNOW their music and demand the BEST when it comes to the master of the party & the one who sets the MOOD. A college crow will turn quickly on an artist if the right hype and party atmosphere is not maintained.

The vibe is intuitive for EX and he even notes that in his Buzz exclusive DJ Survey “I never Plan sets out... There are some tracks that you know go good together, but besides that always play to the crowd.“ (DJ EX, Buzz Exclusive DJ Survey 2009)Play for crowds indeed!!! DJ EX has been all over the globe, but one of the largest and most dynamic clubs that he has spun at is the super sexy The City. He notes, “I DJed at The City (Largest Nightclub in Latin America) in Cancun Mexico for over 4,000 people.“ (DJ EX, Buzz Exclusive DJ Survey 2009) This can be intimidating for some DJs, but not EX. He loves the limelight and plays to the excitement of the patrons. MTV has brought EX on board with their extremely popular reality TV show THE REAL WORLD CANCUN series (http://www.mtv.com/ontv/dyn/rw_cancun/series.jhtml) Again, this is a testimony to the ability of our feature artist to keep the crowds infused with the hawtest and most cutting edge in music vibes! Being surrounded by so many followers of music though, does give way to moments of frustration. EX notes that it’s bothersome when club-goers or spring breakers request mainstream traxs that will inevitably be played. He is basically saying, kick back and allow him to do his part which is to steer the boat while the participants need to simply enjoy the “magic carpet ride” effect!!

All in all, it is most obvious that EX is an asset to any party scene and he possesses a wealth of experience and know how to navigate the most challenging of crowds, but still gets the job done with finesse!
