“I got interested in DJ'ing after watching the 1998 U.S. DMC championships- my other influences are: Mix Master Mike, Q-Bert, A-Trax, Craze, Shortkut, and DJ Shadow. I entered one battle and beat out around 20 kids in the preliminaries for a battle called "Vinyl Kombat" sponsored by Rane. I actually lost my first round, but without shame because the guy who beat me ended up sweeping the entire battle, and went on to win 3rd place in the U.S. DMC's that year, which is the biggest dj battle in America...”
“I'm affiliated with a local hip-hop group called "Lost and Found Generation" and featured on their first release entitled "Pacific Avenue." Other then that I mostly push underground mixes via mp3 on the Internet or just burn CD's at home and give ‘em out at shows.”
Silly Kid can be booked on his own, but we think that our “Dueling DJ” package is the way to go! Adam cuts and scratches while our other DJ lays down the beats and songs from our usual wide variety of the most popular music from yesterday and today. An unbeatably versatile combination with a major WOW factor – your guests will be blown away!
