For DJ Edit, “the box” doesn’t exist, so it’s impossible to stay confined by one.
The versatile DJ realizes that pleasing the crowd should not consist of just hip-hop and hits. If that were the case, it would be too easy and not much fun. “Jukebox DJs” take note.
“All the local DJs share what I feel to an extent, just in a different shape or form. Though most like to ‘play it safe,’ I like stepping outside of the box,” he said. “I like throwing the ‘slider’ in my set that makes people go ‘damn!’”
After returning from Sin City, the former Ocean Club, Venus and Xyloh resident mix man is home to pick up where he left off and that’s doing all he can to expose his vision of club music to the masses.
“I think my style differs from my co-workers in the scene in that I’m not afraid to play music I know the crowd will get crazy to,” he said. “I don’t care if I play 50-Cent, Daft Punk, Fall Out Boy, Bon Jovi or Earth, Wind and Fire. The thing that matters most to me is if the people on the dance floor enjoy the good life.”
