DJ Zimmie gives us the perfect exit to what has been a brutally hot summer with "You Gots To Grill Vol. 2", a collection of your favorite hip hop from the late 80s to early 90s. We suggest you smack them buns, pull out them weiners, pound that meat, and have yourself a beer - its summertime and its almost over in Virginia for 2010.
----------------------------------->
Born and raised in Pittsburgh, DJ Zimmie was brought up on an eclectic mix of classic rock, metal, jazz and hip hop. As he matured, his tastes expanded and he explored musical instruments and turntables. After living in several major cities around the country including Philadelphia, NYC, Portland and Los Angeles, Zimmie returned to Pittsburgh to make his mark. In a short time, DJ Zimmie had quickly built a reputation as a first class party rocker. His vast musical knowledge, eclectic song selection and creative mixes made him a staple in the nightlife scene of Pittsburgh. For years he has consistently maintained a full schedule of residencies in Pittsburgh and surrounding markets.
His skill and professionalism have made him the DJ choice of companies such as SCION, Puma and Red Bull as well the top choice for local hi-profile events, corporate functions and even parties for the Pittsburgh Steelers and Penguins. He's shared the stage with legends such as DJ Jazzy Jeff, DJ AM, DJ Premier, Z-Trip & De La Soul in cities from NYC to LA to Vegas and has become a fast-rising talent nationally. Check out his continually-expanding selection of top-notch mixtapes and the skills to back up his impressive resume.

DESIGNER DRUGS - DATA MIX 09 Podcast
Check out the dope mix above from Designer Drugs, and download this set and more from their Myspace page.
Designer Drugs DJ Michael Vincent Patrick recently played RVALUTION at The Hat Factory and completely killed it. I had a chance to hang with him and his crew at the show, introducing him to the local scene and the big weekly party that is RVALUTION. I was dressed up as a zombie, with blood and makeup on ready to hit the floor, which I'm sure he found amusing, considering the apocalyptic themes that Designer Drugs explore in their music and merchandise. I was pleasantly surprised to see that Michael was impressed with what he experienced here in Richmond. "I love it," he told me. "I would play there once a month if I could. I didn't expect it to be that big at all. It was epic."
Dressed like a cross between a neo-apocalyptic punk and a hipster Buddy Holly, Michael fits in well here in Richmond. With PBR in hand and shots of whisky ready to go, he hit the decks, playing many of the tracks that have made Designer Drugs such a popular act. DD's music pulls sounds from electro, but gives them a pop feel, even while many of the tracks have an ominous, apocalyptic sound. Asked about this tendency towards darker sounds, Michael responded, "The apocalypse is happening right now." In light of this statement, for him to gear up and hit the stage in front of an entire crowd dressed as zombies seemed both appropriate and a bit ridiculous. Nonetheless, he apparently enjoyed himself, telling us that he hoped to return to Richmond "soon. And when I do I'll bring some CDs and free merch."
Designer Drugs is currently working on a studio album, to be released later this year. Check their Myspace and facebook pages for updates.

Designer Drugs BIO
Currently, Designer Drugs is releasing new material with iheartcomix Records. They’ve also been found partying on the couch at the Iheartcomix office. With one member attending med school and the other drinking whiskey across the globe, to keep from going crazy last year - the DD boys produced over 23 remixes and DJ’d over 100 shows around the world. This year, to keep from going crazy, Designer Drugs is putting the focus on original material while continuing to tour the galaxy and party harder than ever.
Most recently, Designer Drugs released their single “Zombies! / Back Up In This” on Iheartcomix Records, in 2009 with Remixes by Nadastrom, Don Rimini, Le Castle Vania and Bird Peterson. Designer Drugs has also completed remixes for labels such as Kitsune, Dim Mak, Fools Gold, Warner Brothers, Ministry Of Sound, Hail Social, Iamsound, Etc Etc, Coco Machette and Calamity Jane for artists such as Little Boots, The Veronicas, Thieves Like Us, Treasure Fingers, Mariah Carey, Jupiter One, Heart’s Revolution, Mission Control, Hail Social, and IAMX.
Both members of Designer Drugs are mentally controlled by ELLE REX (www.ellerex.net), photographer of NYC’s sleaziest and most entertaining electro party - RUFF CLUB. You can find her tagging along to shows, documenting the debauchery that ensues when DD takes the decks. What will happen next? You haven’t partied until you’ve partied with Designer Drugs!

BOUNCE 029 JONQ "Radiator Mix"
Hailing from DC - deejay, beatboxer, and bedroom producer JONQ found his way to Richmond in 2004 to pursue studies at VCU after military school. Opening for such well known artists as N*E*R*D, Wale and The Beastie Boys, while collaborating with the band Earthtone and serving as the music coordinator of Richmond Fashion Week for Nightlife Promo's INC and Primrose Productions, JONQ kept it busy. Over the summer, PLF DJ's Reinhold and Mr. Jennings extended an invite for JONQ to guest DJ at Mayhem and has been focused on making mixes and throwing parties ever since.
His tastes could be described as broad ranging from dusty-funk classics to Cumbia to Dirty B'more to top 40. Be on the look-out for a collab mystery project mix with DJ Throwdown from D.C. coming in a few months and of course, more parties.

No pretention, just mindless fun. DJ Epoc got everybody up and dancing with an uplifting top40/house set last New Year's at New York Deli. I was there and it was good time for sure. Now he has a regular gig there every month, I would suggest making the trip and taking a few lady friends. Make sure check him out along with DJ Vic Vic this July 9th at New York Deli's TRENDSETTERS.

Whether he is playing house parties, art galleries, or popular night spots in Richmond, DJ Epoc’s unique blend of world dance anthems and American top-40 tracks puts him in a class of his own.
Since starting in college, he has performed in front of audiences for nearly 7 years. He is a tireless self-promoter and consistently works to take the dance scene to a new level.
His loops, beats, and meshed styles harness the emotions that live in each of us, guiding his mission to bring our shared passion for music to life. via DJ EPOC
