

Influences:
    My favorite artists include DJ Venom, DJ BAM BAM, Angel Alanis, POOGIE, and Marc, Crystal Method, Chemical Brothers, and Fatboy Slim. Too many influences.... Oh.. I must thank Madonna, Michael and Janet Jackson, Prince, and Paula Abdul... that's all i ever danced to when i was a kid. :) RIP MJ! Those are just a few, i could be here allll day talking about what music artists influence me.

    My style... well when producing I make what I feel. It's an art form, similar to write poetry. I do try to make it fun, and interesting from a dancers point of view. During the last five years Nykki has been studying the Musical arts, and continues forward on her path of DJ'ing, entertaining crowd goers abroad. Her Production genre varies, but all seem to fall under the "Dark Techno" / "Industrial Dance" categories. She specializes in remixing popular tracks to her own tastes, and how the music should be heard from a dancer point of view. Nykki isn't limited to just vinyl dj'ing. She also uses MP3's and/or CDs when the appropriate equipment is available. Most of her DJ sets consist of dance music of late 90's, classic Tech-House, popular rave anthems, breakbeats, and sub genres of house. With Kidd Klasz as her mentor it isn't hard to ignore their similar styles of mixing. Like Klasz, she aims to never let a record spin for more than a few minutes, just as long as the harmonious message has been implied. 

Biography:
    DJ/Producer/Promoter, Nykki Bangs has been DJing 7 years, and producing for almost5. Though her first love is for Vinyl records, she recently expanded her talents immersing herself in the production of her own tracks, as well as getting aquainted with the ever-so popular Serato Scratch LIVE.

    Nykki's vinyl mixes consist of classic late 90's Techno, House, and Club remixes. Contrary to what she mixes, Nykki produces Industrial Dance music and dark styles of EDM. It also seems that she has taken a liking to producing mash-ups and remixes of unique, yet popular tracks.

    In the upcoming 2010 year, she plans to focus more on her music along side her husband's company, UNLIT PRODUCTIONS. With no real big plans to become "famous", she plans to continue to educate a newer generation with an aural influence. Nykki wishes to showcase the classic vinyl tracks that are now the roots of what has become one of the largest entertainment industries in the world.

hello :) here you will find some older classic mixes. i will post new mixes here once i consider them classics mixes... 

He's considered a pioneer and legend of the 90's Hard House movement. His long list of records, remixes and international appearances credits him as one of the most popular and accomplished DJ/Producers of his time. But like all pioneers, he too faced many challenges set forth in identifying his title. 

In 1985, Carlos “Kool Kutt” Gomez began his musical journey no different than most bedroom DJs hoping to someday leave a mark in the industry. With cheap turntables and a Radio Shack (Realistic) mixer, he began to blend beats, scratches, and later  incorporated sampling and editing techniques. 

In 1989, a friend persuaded Carlos to participate in a DJ battle which was being held at a local teen club (Triffany's) 
Carlos won the battle and was given his first club residency. During this residency, he had the opportunity to work alongside original Hot Mix 5 DJs, Mickey “Mixin” Oliver, Ralphie “The Razz” Rosario, Kenny “Jammin” Jason, & Mario “Smokin” Diaz. 

In the early 90's Carlos' DJ career was stuck and couldn't seem to gain momentum. Unable to play the dance music politics, he switched genres and teamed up with Chicago Rap group O.C.U. Due to the group's gangster style hip hop genre, the members changed Carlos' stage name from “Kool Kutt” to DJ Tragic. While working with O.C.U. he met his mentor and super producer Peter Black. Soon after, Carlos assisted Peter on several albums including O.C.U's “Stronger Than The Mafia” on the K Tel label, and Krashman's “Black Circle” on ISLAND Records. 

In 1992, Carlos veered away from the hip hop scene and continued with his interest in dance music. But first, he revised his stage name by replacing the “g” with a “j” and the wanna be house producer “DJ TRAJIC” was born. 

In late 1993, DJ TRAJIC met Underground Construction (UC) president Andy Adams. In 1994 UC agreed to release “Soul Patrol” and “Orgy Trax” simultaneously... both records were a success and DJ TRAJIC took the first step in making his mark! 

Soon after the release of “Soul Patrol”. DJ TRAJIC gave birth to his mega hit “Show Me Your Face”. It was at that moment that his International status began. With the release of “Show Me Your Face”. UC was able to establish licensing agreements with record labels in Brazil and Mexico. This allowed UC the ability to create a solid foundation for future international success. 

With follow up releases like “Latinos In The House”, L.A.W's “Remember The Times”, Anastasia's “All Men R Dogs”, Sex Krazed Superstars “Feeling Horny” and “Pants R Saggin”, TRAJIC continued to bang out the hits. At times UC would release back to back TRAJIC records just to keep up with demand, while other labels waited in line with attempts to solicit a TRAJIC Chronic Remix. TRAJIC went on to produce well over 100 records and countless remixes for major artists. 

TRAJIC's influence has reflected on many top rated DJ/Producers of today and his tracks can always be heard through licensed mix compilations as well as  "Tribute mixes" put together by DJ fans worldwide. 

In 2006, TRAJIC launched two digital download music labels in partnership with Beatport.com. 
Nemek Music Group (Nemek): releases the harder type sound and has re-released much of TRAJIC's catalog through his Hard House Classics volumes. Nemek is also home to producers, J.D Funk of Seattle, El Paso's Statik Jumpen, Argentina's DJ Zeta, Spain's DJ Flaxx and U.S new comers the Warrior Brothers, MK Ultra and the Smakboys. Remixes have included the likes of L.A talents, Used & Abused, Rudy Rude Dog, DJ Eseal, & DJ 2H, along with Marvy Da Pimp from Paris France, and Chicago's Rick Fabris and Tommie 2 Tuff.

Plush Recordings (Plush): releases genres like Electro, Tech House, Figit, etc. Released have included superstars like Jon Kennedy (U.S), Lars Wilhelm, Patrick Wayne, Shaman Koz, High C, Blain Austin, Kiddwrek, and involved remixes by Josh Collins, Eric Bam Bam Cea, and J.A.K Inc.

Today, DJ TRAJIC continues to work behind the scenes and will soon launch new collabs with the Smakboys, MK Ultra, and the Warrior Bros. Selected remixes from his discography are also scheduled.

“One of the most beloved DJs in the world regardless of gender” — Resident Advisor
 
Sandra Collins exploded out of the California rave scene in the 90’s.  Born in Arizona but with roots in  Las Vegas, her appetite for dance music & it’s culture, drew her to the heartbeat of Los Angeles. She started DJ’ing in the early 90’s, which led to an A&R job at the LA office of EyeQ/Harthouse, the German record company co-founded by the dance music pioneer, Sven Vath.  Her production career began in 1998 with releases on LA’s Fragrant Music and the UK’s Hook Recordings. The early 2000’s saw several releases via compilations, singles , EP’s and remixes on labels such as Kinetic, Perfecto and Interscope for artists including Nine Inch Nails and Fleet Foxes.  Between her releases and relentless touring schedule, Sandra received numerous awards, including URB Magazine Best female Artist in 1999 and UK’s Dancestar Best DJ in 2003.
 
Sandra held residencies at the legendary Twilo in NYC and also at Chicago’s Crobar.  She had the honor of being one of Coachella’s inaugural DJs, playing the influential festival three times, and performed at Woodstock ‘99,  Ultra Music Festival, Global Gathering, Electric Daisy Carnival (now known as EDC), Creamfields and Burning Man, to name a few.
 
Over the years, her musical style has expanded. Her sets now include deep, progressive, melodic and tech house, following along the lines of her current productions.  Sandra pushes herself out of her comfort zone and enters a more confident and creative stage in her career, including performing vocals on her recent releases. She has been a guest DJ on several radio shows and has been feverishly working in the studio, creating an arsenal of productions with DC based production partner Micke. Sandra has a radio show of her own in the works and is inspired to score for the silver screen, while still making dance music and bringing it personally to her fans on the dancefloor on her upcoming Back2Black tour starting in December 2018. This will coincide with her next release “Four” on Perfecto Black, due out end of November.
