Juke Nukem, a DJ/Producer with roots firmly planted in Texas during the bolstering DnB scene of the early 2000s, relocated to Minneapolis, Mn in 2006. By 2011, he founded Slipmats Radio, the weekly internet radio show for turntablism; later growing into a local dj cooperative. Subsequently, he was introduced to the Chicago juke/footwork culture and never looked back. 

In 2013, he launched DISTRICT160. A record label dedicated to 160bpm music culture, including but not limited to juke/footwork. The proclaimed duke of Minneapolis juke, would go on to host various events throughout the twin cities. Most notably, the Bounce parties at the famed Honey, and the D160 nights at Maruso Bar. 

Today, unbound from the stigma of being genre specific, Juke Nukem integrates these influences into a passionate display of diverse ingenuity…

“This guy is so into the music it’s contagious. His work is fresh and fast. His timing is impeccable. And when he is off stage, he is at the edge of the dance floor close to the performers dancing and giving props. This guy lives and breathes beats like no other.” - Ian Indo
