Bio

There are too many records in the world to stick to one style and DJ Stylus embraces that in his party-rocking philosophy. Dubbed “The Vibe Conductor” by his fans, Stylus takes a tight hip-hop approach to mixing and applies it to a palette of tunes that range from overlooked classics to the newest progressive electronic sounds, connecting the soulful elements of his selections to tell a story on the decks. DJ Stylus is known for ambitious and far-ranging sets that touch heads, hearts and dancing feet.

As a member of The Soul Controllers, Stylus started out at the University of Maryland’s 88.1 WMUC before eventually moving on to a two year stint on XM Satellite Radio. The Soul Controllers can currently be heard every week in the Decipher hip-hop block on Pacifica’s WPFW 89.3 FM.

Stylus is also a founding member of The POEM-CEES, the “Run-De La Soul” of DC hip-hop who are nationally recognized for fusing together the best of the poetry and hip-hop worlds. Since 1998 the POEM-CEES have released three albums, two chart-topping independent singles, won two Wammies, toured the east coast extensively and performed theatrical productions for the Hip-Hop Theater Festival and Capital Renaissance Theatre. Stylus is an integral part of the POEM-CEES’ legendary live show, a portion of which was experienced on television after naturalaw-dp and Black Picasso’s three appearances on HBO’s Def Poetry Jam.

Stylus has plied his trade at all of the major venues in Washington DC and won the 2004 and 2005 Wammie for Hip-Hop DJ. He was the main DJ for the Freestyle Union, an organization started by emcee, educator and author Toni Blackman that honed the skills of most of Washington’s most talented veteran hip-hop performers.

That New Jack Swing joint – pt. 1

It’s been a few years, I’ve pressed up and sold several batches. The last one is almost gone. And it’s a digital world now. Folks aren’t really checking for cd’s like that. I figured I might as well throw these out on the interwebs gratis. There are pictures from the party somewhere, just gotta track ‘em down.
