Phat-N-Jazzy

Founded by DJ BMF and DJ Slack in 1994, Phat N' Jazzy was designed as an alternative to Orlando's burgeoning rave scene and underage hip-hop parties. The music policy at the time was to provide a platform for Acid Jazz, "Trip Hop", and native tongue-style hip-hop. Before long the "alternative" became one of the hottest nights in the city, and as the night grew, DJs Q-Burn's Abstract Message and Pimp Daddy Nash were added to the weekly roster. The four resident DJs would soon join together to form Eighth Dimension Records, an outlet for the original material the crew was starting to produce, and to show the world the real underground sound of Orlando.
