I’m not a stranger to music, as I was a violinist for several years as well played trumpet for marching band, jazz and a few scattered local ska bands..

There’s a lot of cool tricks I can do on them..

I’m kind of a purist and stick to a vinyl format with real turntables..

DJ handle: Da Untouchable DJ Swift What it means: To be honest, there is no true reason behind my stage name other than the fact that I always wanted to be fast at the tricks that I pull off when I DJ. I’ve always believe that my style of performance cannot be matched or touched. Thus, the name Da Untouchable DJ Swift.

DJ handle: Melophobic What it means: Someone that is melophobic is afraid of music. When people hear the name, they think I mean I must be scared to be “mellow,” which is an unintentional but very accurate double entendre.

At first my style and stage name would change almost as often as one changes clothes. Ouroboros is the ancient alchemical symbol of a snake eating its own tail, representing the sense of something constantly re-creating itself, as well as the cyclic nature of the universe.

DJ handle: J. Overcash What it means: Just my name shortened, nothing too crazy. Was part of Tons O Guns with darklove in the past. After we stopped DJing together I couldnt figure out a new DJ name and since my last name is kind of unique (outside of certain parts of NC) I just went with it.

DJ handle: DJ Savage What it means: In my younger years, I was a party animal. One minute I would be spinning, five minutes later Id be on the dance floor while still spinning, so people started calling me a savage; it just stuck with me.

Studio work: The two netcasts I do (The HiJack on 247drumandbass and The Slow and Low on GenxGlow), but production is my top priority right now. Ive been digging deep and its been long days and nights staring at screens and manuals, but its what I need.

Introducing Hedzoleh Soundz, Mulatu Astatke & the Heliocentrics Inspiration Information, Quantic and His Combo Barbaro Tradition in Transition, Donald Byrd Kofi and anything by Hypnotic Brass Ensemble..

I love all my mixes, but my favorite is the “Teach Me How To Dougie” beat with the “I Got Five On It” vocal from Luniz.

DJ handle: DJ EXQ What it means: Ive owned two businesses in the past and they both started with Exquisite, so I decided to keep the EXQ-uisite part of my presence in the mix.

DJ handle: DJ JD What it means: My grandfathers name was James, so to avoid confusion at family events they always called me JD. When I started DJing my cousin called me DJ JD and I ran with it.
