DJ 215 : Best Wu-Tang DJ

Age: 23

Hometown: North Philly.



DJ Freak Nasty (Freak for short)(dj215) was in a North Philly club holding down the mike when he started chanting, “Whoop that thing! Whoop that thing!” The crowd interpreted it as “Wu-Tang! Wu-Tang!” and Philly's greatest dance—the Wu-Tang—was born. The imported Dutty Wine and Walk It Out dances will come and go in Philly, but Wu-Tanging is here to stay. Freak's latest dance creation is the Twist It Pull It. Thats why he's '' Philly's ! Party Music Dj!''



Label: DJ Freak Nasty is signed to Baltimore club king Rod Lee's Harm Squad Entertainment, And now a Club King!!!



On party music vs. Baltimore club: “In Baltimore they have a dance called the SpongeBob or the Crazy Legs, which they do to a Baltimore beat. What we do here is the Wu-Tang dance to party music. They call it Baltimore club. We call it party music. In D.C. they call it go-go. We're all playing the same music. It's just got different names. The way I make my beats, I use extra claps, extra horns, keyboards, guitars, whatever. D.C. and Baltimore use extra bass. I just add a little spunk to it—something they can Wu-Tang to.

There's a lot of action in that dance, like smacking the floor, raising your hands in the air and twisting and stuff, so I add more effects.”



On party music's popularity: “It's a fast-paced beat, an energized beat with hard bass and hard claps. When I first heard it—‘Percolator' and stuff like that—I thought it was a [whack] beat. Next thing you know I come into the club and I start doing it.”



Top party records of the moment: “‘Let the Freak Loose' by Rod Lee; ‘Dance My Pain Away' by Rod Lee; ‘Hands up, Thumbs Down' by K-Swift and ‘Get Back' by me.”



On up-and-coming talent: “DJ Lean Wit It, DJ Breeze, DJ Frecks, DJ Honey, DJ B.R., DJ Macky and Freak Productions—I'm going to get a team of DJs who just play party music.”



On the Wu-Tang dance's longevity: “Wu-Tang's never gonna die. You see 5-year-olds doing it now. It's going from generation to generation.”
