“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. As well as DJ’n for celebrities, professional athletes and stars, Joe Vega has done a spin of corporate events and is able to blend and adapt to any group or genre. Joe Vega as DJ/Producer/Artist prides himself in staying true, unique and creative to the art, never wanting to sound the same, rehearsed, tired or bland. Whether he’s spinning hip hop, rap, top 40, electro, dance hall, r&b, or rock, he believes a real DJ can play anything and play for anybody.

“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

Inzo

“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!

“The decks are my throne, I’m the King of the Club.”

Having a heavy musical influence from a young age, Justin Bell was destined to be involved in the music business. Starting out as a drummer in high school and local bands, he was then turned onto the dallas house music and rave scene. Infatuated by the DJ’s he was exposed to, he decided to buy turntables. These would become his most used instrument for the next decade.

Developing a style that rooted from funky Chicago house, 90′s hip hop, and pop music, Justin quickly developed his own sound. 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. Wanting to go beyond DJ’ing, Bell decided to go to school for Audio Engineering and Music Production. Now, producing his own tracks/remixes/edits Justin bell was bringing a lot to the table.

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. Having had residencies and performances at most every high end club in town, Justin Bell has supported the Dallas music scene for years now. Be on the lookout for his many highly proclaimed music projects and mix tapes.
