DJ TRUE |
| DJ True has been described as having “his fingerprints everywhere throughout the evolution of dance music as we know it.” He experienced the greatest DJs in the greatest clubs ever growing up in NYC, and the experience has led him to becoming one today’s most interesting DJs to listen to. After being a production intern at CD 101.9 WQCD, he attended City College for music and became a part of the Harlem Community Radio family. He created a show called "Deeper Than Disco" that celebrated the dance classics of old and showcased the musicians that continued in its tradition. He has featured many guest DJs. Some that are popular, some that are underrated, all of which share his love for a deeper more soulful sound of dance music. The list of his past guests reads as a who’s who in House music. True has played countless clubs throughout the city. He has played with Ron Trent at Giant Step Sessions and has opened up for Sony Recording artist Amel Larrieux (Groove Theory) with DJ Chuck Chillout at Irving Plaza. He continues to open for the industry’s most soulful artists with recent performances with Amp Fiddler and Totured Soul. His radio show “Deeper Than Disco” is now 7 years strong and continuing to grow in listenership. He has won the UA award for “Best House Radio Show” in 2001 and is now airing his radio shows on Sirius Satellite Radio’s “The Remix”. His sets are recognized around the world for their eclectic and original selection of old school and new. In a way his DJ career has just begun, but he is obviously, respectively old school. His sensibility when he spins reflects his experience, and the audience will always be treated to a unique blend of sounds that are geared towards the dancer, for that is what he is. True has started his very first Brazilian dance collective called ALMA. ALMA ("soul" in Portuguese) "All for the Love of Music & Art" is a new Brazilian collective that fuses live instrumentation with Brazilian grooves, house, broken beat, drum n'bass and other forms of underground electronica. The idea is to feature the traditional sounds of Brazil, from samba to forro, and incorporate all the newly inspired sounds coming from a new crop of "tropicalistas" from Brazil and beyond.
