“The DJ you love to hate.”
While most Dallas DJs are conforming to the Southern DJ stereotype, DJ NVS is setting himself apart from the herd.
Originally from Oxnard, CA, DJ NVS got his start spinning at local clubs and raves. Shortly after he linked up with the crew at KCSB Santa Barbara and earned a biweekly spot on an EDM mix show by the name of “The Groove” which led to various guest spots on Q104.7 in Ventura.
A few years later, he made the choice to move to Dallas, Texas. After paying his dues for a couple of years, he earned a slot on another small, but reputable radio station, KNON Energy 89.3 FM.
From there he met Flshr Pryce and Ing Too and formed Los Hip Hop Guys. LHHG rocked 4×4 mash up sets at many clubs and underground hip hop shows. Which is how he met DJ Marvel. Shortly after meeting Marvel, they began rocking all the Dallas hot spots and together held down a residency at one of Dallas’ hottest clubs, Dolce!
Some more recent accomplishments included being asked to join Crooklyn Clan’s Crack4djs.net, being featured on Wild 94.9 Club 949 with DJ e-Rock, and DJ’ing with the world famous DJ Vice!

“Half man, half amazing.”
Whether he’s wrecking the floors or rocking the decks… Joe Vega has been in the nightlife industry for over a decade. Born in Las Vegas and hailing from Dallas, Texas Vega was introduced to music at a young age. He began studying under DJ Wild and was on his first radio station by the young age of 16 along with his first residency. From there he continued in and out of radio for 10 years earning his degree in recording and engineering and established himself as a professional DJ.
Over the years he has built his name and has sustained as one of the most requested DJ’s in Dallas, with such residencies and guest spots as Suite, Dolce, Mantus, Vice, Plush, O-Bar, Lift, Wish, Kinkis, The Bank, Purgatory, Buda 9, etc. And has DJ’d parties for celebrities and professional athletes such as Kobe Bryan, Shaq, Pete Wienst, Tony Romo, Kim Kardashion, Nik Richie, the cast of Jack Ass, featured playmates and Girls Gone Wild.

“If it’s a crowd of 50 or 5000 a true DJ can rock the crowd regardless. Believing that music is more of a language spoken and understood across society, race or differences, music is the bridge that gathers us all. Today’s DJ, in my opinion, is the modern day composer.” – Joe Vega

“My records speak for me.”
Booms in both economics and population have turned the Dallas Metroplex into a Texas-sizaed crate of records from every genre imaginable: a mix of styles and tastes begging to be shuffled together by the right hands. it’s a task so daunting, it has beaten most DJ’s into submitting to a single, monotonous style- but it’s a challenge DJ Inzo has accepted in stride.
Dallas born and raised, Inzo has spent more than a decade behind the wheels of steel, continuously pushing the limits of musical mash-ups and boundaries. originally an expert in electronic, this Rok Republic fixture broke into hip-hop when he felt local sound boys were killing the funk in a not-so-soft manner. Now, with a rap sheet of residencies and appearances too long to list, the audio-mixologist has mastered a tireless blend of rock, rap, pop and electronic, guaranteed to give even the most dance-resistant head in the house something they can move to. Think you got him figured out? Just wait a track or two- you might never see what’s coming next until it hits you in the face.
Currently showcasing his talent and taste through an online mix-program titled Table Manners and an up-and-coming clothing line, Durty Laundry, this star of the infamous Beat Breakerz crew is mixing things up outside of the club as well. But don’t go thinking a little diversification means Inzo will be cuttin’ y’all any slack. After all, it is what got him here in the first place, homie!

“A healthy balance between innovative and classic.”
From a young age Blake has had a truly deep rooted connection with music. With a first love of hip-hop in the late 80′s to early 90′s, he took that love further and further. After discovering the rave scene in the mid to late 90′s, Blake fell for house music. Soon he would buy turntables and explore the world of dj’ing. This was just the beginning for a musical and spiritual voyage. Going to record stores and digging for vinyl allowed for a “traditional school of dj’ing.” His dj’ing began in house parties and reached clubs in no time. Playing in indi hip-hop shows as a back up dj to the emcees with scratches and cuts was the first taste in performing with other artists.
Studying not only music that he played at parties but music he collected for listening, the feeling of learning musical production overwhelmed this young dj. Developing an ear and understanding for a wide spectrum of music became a new addiction like none before. Collecting various pro-audio software, gear and instruments to enhance the skill of creating music was at hand. Blake enrolled in Audio Engineering school to take his production and recording to another level. Meanwhile playing in top clubs on a weekly basis to maintain master dj and party rocking skills. Sharing the stage with such great acts as Public Enemy, DJ Am, DJ Craze, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Steve Aoki, Tommy Sunshine just to name a few. Now he has played music festivals, clubs, lounges, and private parties in different parts of the U.S. and europe. Still dj’ing and producing Blake currently has several projects in the works, including collaborations with talented artists.

While moving around the country for school, Justin became affluent in many different styles and genres including House, Hip Hop/Rap, Drum n Bass/Jungle, Downtempo/Trip Hop, Reggae, and Rock. It was only natural that his style would grow into mixing these all together into a diverse sound.

Heading back to Dallas after college, Justin Bell quickly got plugged into the Dallas club scene. pioneering the art of mixing and mashing up different genres with clean mixing quickly made him a well known name.
