From rocking the vibrant nights of Ibiza to owning the streets of my hometown Brooklyn andaBrooklyn-born. Ibiza-tested. Bass-built.
I’ve been flipping the script on electronic hip-hop since day one—fusing rap roots, dub textures, and futuristic synths into something raw, real, and unforgettable.

Co-signed by legends like Skrillex, Diplo, and Bassnectar, I dropped projects through OWSLA (War of the Roses, Rose Colored Bass) and got my tracks spun on BBC Radio 1.
When Earmilk called me “THE trailblazer of electronic music,” they meant it.

But I’m not just a producer—I’m a movement.
I've released over 50 free tracks for the culture.
Now I’m building with AI visuals, scoring films, and mentoring the next wave of genre benders.

This ain’t nostalgia—it’s elevation.
Tap in. Build with me.

"Think for yourself, question authority." Timothy Leary

Godfather has had a very successful career over the years. Voted 15th best DJ in America by the readers of DJ Times and Pioneer Pro DJ for 2011 and in 2012 out of the top 100, best DJ in Detroit by Real Detroit magazine 5 years in a row (2008-2013), and is now the Red Bull Thre3stlye champion of Detroit for 2013! With sponsorships from Serato and Native Instruments, Godfather currently released an expansion pack entitled Dirty Knock for the iMaschine and Maschine, the industry standard drum machine by Native Instruments with endorsements from Diplo, Lil Jon, Steve Aoki, Disco Fries, Danny Daze, DJ Fuck and more. He plays it all from open format/mashup parties to  house to the deepest trap, ghetto tech and juke parties incorporating his battle style turntablism in his sets. He has played across the globe numerous times in cities all over Europe, Asia, Australia, United States, Canada, China, Japan and South America and receives worldwide recognition.

Lets take a look at it from the beginning!:

DJ Godfather is considered one of the founding fathers of the genre we now know as Ghetto Tech. He started DJing at the age of 15 with the help of, now business partner, DJ Dick. Within a few months of getting his turntables, Godfather was already playing in nightclubs and after hour parties all over Detroit. He started producing at the age of 17 for his first Miami Bass style group Bass Association. With the buzz of a few singles off the Bass Association album on 3 Detroit radio stations, Godfather made his first solo record at the age of 18 on the now Twilight 76 Records entitled "Work Dat". Taking his turntablism skills and mixing Detroit Techno music with Miami Bass music, and new sound was born, Ghetto Tech. With the formation of their new record label Twilight 76 with partners DJ Dick and Brian Gillespie, he took his talent and turned it into an entire business creating 3 other labels known as Databass Records, D.E.T. Only (An exclusive label with only 1000 copies of each release), and Juke Trax (A label dedicated to the Chicago style of Ghetto House and Juke music). With all 4 record labels combined, Godfather and his partners released over 250 vinyl releases and mix CD releases, selling over 800,000 units worldwide. You can hear DJ Godfather tracks on the 2 videos games, NBA 2K6 and NBA 2K7 on 2K Sports. He was also the first DJ to be released on the Serato digital download series, using Scratch Live technology and tracks only available digitally for a mix cd entitled "For The Freaks". With 12" vinyl record sales slowing down over the past years, Godfather and his partners stopped pressing vinyl and embraced the digital download world with their own digital distribution company and 2 online MP3 stores, Secretremixes.com for Mashups and DJ Remixes along with Electrobounce.com for Trap, Ghetto Tech, Electro, Techno and Juke music. They also started Soundbully, A digital distribution company that offers digital distribution to over 187 MP3 stores and ring tone carriers worldwide.

Godfather is also producing under 2 other names. Don Dada which is a duo group with DJ Zebo out of Chicago incorporating trap music with juke, ghetto tech and electro house with 4 turntables in their live sets. Reviews have been fantastic as they already played Movement in Detroit and Spring Awakening in Chicago along with some other big music festivals. The other allis is Detroit Muscle which is strictly house music. Having remixed artists such as Lil Jon, Diplo, Aston Shuffle (Ministry Of Sound), Bad Boy Bill and more!

Recent projects Godfather has been involved in are remixes for Laidback Luke' "Pogo", Dizzee Rascal's "Bassline Junkie" and Baauer's "Harlem Shake which have all made the #1 monthly downloaded track on Serato's Whitelable.net and the 40 Oz Profits, making it in the top 100 on Beatport. Don Dada is also ready to release their Debut single "Rock Ya Whole Block" along with 2 follow up tracks.

"The Darkness" Joy Villa vs Hobo Bob - Commissioned Remix 

Hobo Bob is no stranger in either main stream clubs or after hours spots.  Possessing more than 30 years devoted to music and 20 years as a DJ/Producer Bob has played along the side of a list of headliners that is too long to list as well as headlined some of the U.S. and Ukraine's premier nightclubs since 2004 early in his career and still going.  Bob is the founder of Shockwave 303 in Denver, CO but later turned the company over to tech house producer Aaron Lee back in 2013 so that he could focus on other things.  Shockwave is still one of the most recognized names in electronic dance music in Denver and stretching into surrounding states such as Nebraska to North Dakota.  Shockwave still maintains its long history as a co-resident and host with SUB at the legendary Beta Lounge under the guidance of co-owner Barry Swetnam aka DJ Pacman.  

Hobo Bob's music style comes from years as a turntablist running up to 4 Technics 1200s at a time as he has spent years mastering the art of mashing 3 or 4 styles of electronic music into a breakbeat dominated assault of floor devastating bass that he seamlessly moves between BPMs in the low 80s into  upper 180 BPM zones for a ride all the way to the top of his sets often ending with a massive yet atmospheric drum n bass/jungle influence.  

Enjoy the mixes that are posted periodically here on Sound Cloud as well as his newest production pieces all usually within the realm of experimental breaks but don't stop there!  Check out his videos on Youtube in the links below as mixes can be polished but crowds don't lie!  Also feel free to follow him on Facebook in the link below as well.  

Note: No mix from Hobo Bob will ever be polished.  It's either worthy to be put out as is or it doesn't go out.
