DJ TREW is the kind of DJ you wish you saw last weekend. Getting his start doing house parties in the Baltimore/DC area, he transplanted himself onto the Chicago scene early 1998. The results of which can be seen in his selection, which spans seemingly disparate genres from both coasts. (yes, the midwest is a coast now. didn't you know?) A b-boy at heart, DJ TREW sets include Funk (pre- and post- James Brown, Afro, Latin, Brazilian), Hiphop (old school classics and new school would be classics), Soul (modern, boogie, and sweet), Rare Groove, Electro, Bmore, Acid House/Jack and b-boy friendly drum breaks extended ad infinitum. NO TIME FOR WALLFLOWERS. While not behind the 1s and 2s, he runs the Hiphop, Rare Groove, and Downtempo online music publication, GROUND LIFT MAGAZINE (http://www.groundliftmag.com)
