Been in the music biz from early 80s and 90s. was there when the DJ craze started in the 80s then did some bootleg remixes on vinyl, which back in those days you couldn't say you did. did some editing and some work with Sleeping Bag Records, i went under the name Louie L. Did some work with Mantronix and DJ at clubs. Took a break in the 2000s and now im back to do what i enjoy the most in life, play music and remix.

New York native Merlin Bobb—renowned DJ, producer, and music executive—is celebrated as a true pioneer of house music. His groundbreaking work continues to earn recognition, including a highly anticipated debut DJ set with Boiler Room in 2022.

Merlin’s journey began on the airwaves with his first mix show on WBLS, where he quickly became a favorite among dance music fans. Known for pushing boundaries, he constantly explored new sounds and techniques, helping to redefine the art of DJing and laying the groundwork for a storied career in music.

But Merlin’s influence extended far beyond the DJ booth. As a key executive at powerhouse labels like Atlantic and Elektra Records, he was instrumental in bringing house music into the mainstream. He also signed and collaborated with legendary artists such as Missy Elliott, Brandy, Busta Rhymes, Pharrell Williams, Timbaland, Outkast, and Dr. Dre during his tenure as senior vice president of A&R at Elektra and Atlantic.

At the same time, he championed house and dance music’s finest—working with icons like Frankie Knuckles, Timmy Regisford, Roger Sanchez, Kerri Chandler, David Morales, Louie Vega, Tony Humphries, and DJ Spinna—to produce remixes, sign new talent, and spread the sound and spirit of house music.

Merlin also left an indelible mark on New York nightlife as co-founder of Club Shelter, a cultural landmark and cornerstone of the city’s house and dance scene. Shelter’s influence continues to echo in club culture around the world.

Today, after years behind the scenes, Merlin is back DJ-ing and producing much to the delight of longtime fans and remains a vital presence in the house music movement.
