One of the most influential DJ’s of the Florida dance scene has returned for another bout in the ever so evolving scene we call EDM. This DJ is no stranger to those who have been around for the madness he stirred up on the legendary nights at his former homes: “The Abyss” & “The Club@Firestone” in Orlando, FL! In a city once known as the Euro Epicenter for dance music, D-Xtreme was right in the middle of it.

D-Xtreme was introduced to the Electronica sound by Orlando pioneer DJ Kimball Collins in 1987. He began playing several small venues until he ran into guy walking around saying he was going to open a club. That guy happened to be super promoter Najib Elmasri. He was offered a residency at the new dance club called “The Abyss”. Playing 3 times a week next to his partner DJ Stylus, the madness began. In 1992 “The Abyss” became one of Florida’s premiere spots for banging underground dance music. The nights ran into each other every week and a star was quickly shining. As his popularity grew, D-X began to develop such a big following that it led him to a residency at one of the biggest and prominent spots in Florida club scene, “The Club@Firestone”.

As a resident at “The Club”, he helped make it become the place to go and hear overseas DJs & artists for the first time in the states. He was able to showcase his talents alongside some of the biggest DJs not only of that time but now as well. During that time “The Club” was voted the best Club in the USA by Rolling Stones Magazine and Mixmag. Flying around the world was nothing for DX as he traveled heavily to support his new found popularity. During all this D-Xtreme ran Vinyl Frontier for three years and made it O’towns #1 record store for hot underground dance music. With countless nights of pure pleasure, this DJ brought the Club to a frenzy every Saturday night for 4 years until the city stepped in and shut the party down by changing the drinking and club hours. The club survived but the night went away. When all was said and done the impact was left and the night has been called legendary ever since.

In 2008, he became the Music & Media Managing Partner at Unknown World Entertainment Group. His fresh blood in the company has helped push it into areas the company has never gone before. He also began working with George Acosta and Filo & Peri to help them expand on their already popular fan base bymaking their internet awareness more broad. He also joined forces with producer Nology and started a studio partnership that includes remixes of George Acosta, Filo & Peri, Alexander Fog & Block & Crown to name a few. I addition to that he & Nology have just formed a new label called Cognitive Music. cognitive Music.

As you can see this DJ/Producer/Label Owner/A&R Rep/Managing Partner is moving in all directions and headed the right way in order to re-establish himself as a truly special artist. Stay tuned…you won’t want to miss a beat!

AFTERLIFE OUT NOW 

bitly.ws/CMZ9

Since launching the Datsik brand, Troy Beetles continues to evolve as a solo artist all the while pushing his beloved bass music world to new lengths, both on a personal artistry level and as a genre as a whole. From bedroom producer to chart-topping artist, internationally touring act, and owner and founder of the enterprising Firepower Records, Datsik is poised to make bass music the sound of the future with his recent Down 4 My Ninjas EP (Nov. 2014 / Firepower Records) and upcoming release Smoke Bomb ft. Snoop Dogg (Nov. 2015 / Ultra Records). 

Datsik took his initial steps into global dominance in 2009 with his first official release, the Nuke ‘Em EP, which set the new precedence of the future of dubstep and bass music. Immediately following that was the Boom EP featuring Excision and the legendary Flux Pavilion as collaborators. In that same year, Datsik claimed 10 Beatport #1 releases. Additionally, he has also released massive remixes for dance music icons Skrillex, Diplo, Kaskade, and Zedd, as well as two collaborations with Bassnectar and two more with Diplo on his Express Yourself EP. He has also remixed artists from the mainstream pop world and hip-hop spheres such as Coldplay, Lil Wayne, MGMT, Linkin Park, Wu-Tang Clan, one of the biggest influences on his sound, and, most recently, Lana Del Rey.

Nonetheless, Vitamin D, his debut artist album released on Dim Mak Records in 2012, remains his gleaming trophy of work. Rightfully so, as Vitamin D was the first project to illustrate the full spectrum of Datsik’s production cannon and to give glimpses of the artist’s potential as a producer and songwriter. Vitamin D was the first major milestone of many to come in the Datsik storyline. The next chapter came in 2013 in the form of a two-part release, the Cold Blooded EP and the corresponding Let It Burn full-length album, both released on Firepower. While shorter in length, Cold Blooded packs as much a punch as big brother Let It Burn. Hand in hand, Cold Blooded and Let It Burn comprise the knockout one-two punch in Datsik’s artillery.

Datsik stands at a point of transition with his recent EP Down 4 My Ninjas. It exemplifies a more mature Datsik, both in sound and in vision, as it sees the producer taking vast steps outside of dubstep and deeper into his ever-burning fondness for hip-hop. In essence, it is his love letter to the hip-hop and bass music genres and sees a full circle for Datsik as it combines the best of both worlds. Featuring collaborations with DJ Paul of renowned Southern rap group Three 6 Mafia and the legendary KRS-One, Down 4 My Ninjas sees Datsik keeping one foot in bass and one foot in hip-hop and, for the first time ever, sees the artist pairing his original productions with bona fide, universally celebrated members of the rap world. 

With Down 4 My Ninjas in tow and a hefty supporting tour scheduled for 2015, expectations are higher than they’ve ever been for Datsik. Beetles welcomes the challenge, though. It’s what’s kept him developing since those bedroom producer days, and it’s what verifies Datsik as one of the leading figures in the bass music scene of today and tomorrow.

International DJ, Producer as Markus Schulz and Dakota, In Search of Sunrise resident, host of Global DJ Broadcast and Destinations, and owner of Coldharbour Recordings.

Discovering the best new music, curated by Annie Mac

Mid 80s Freestyle and Alternative Dance DJ who later became an elite member of the underground dance movement in Los Angeles controlling the “US Rave” generation of the 90s. Known across the globe as a pioneer of Breakbeat, Jeff has also become a legend within the "Electronic Dance Music" family as we know it today. After retiring from the music scene in 2012, Jeff puts his gloves back on in 2023 to return to what he loves the most. THE MUSIC!

"Call It Techno" was the blueprint track which was written on June 4, 1989.  It was at the forefront of European Rave Culture and became a well known track in the U.K. & Germany.  The documentary "We Call It Techno" explains it right from the beginning and from that came the second & third Love Parade themes being named "The Future Is Ours" off the XL/Citibeat LP by Musto & Bones.  And "My House Is Your House" from the Break Boys which was Frankie Bones aka on Fourth Floor Records in 1990.

Frankie became the American Pioneer of Rave Culture on both coasts in 1990, playing Techno as a movement.  The Peace, Love, Unity Movement which in 1993 became PLUR after a fight broke out at an event in The Bronx which had Richie Hawtin as it's headliner.

And the rest is history.  If words can paint the picture here, the first 5 Soundcloud links will describe a DJ who has a journey of a lifetime & still is active in 2024.  The music that comes from the heart & soul of the Brooklyn Underground.
