JIMMY 2 TIMES
Jimmy 2 Times really knows how to rock a party rock a party—and if you think that last part was a typo, it's a crying shame you haven't seen Goodfellas. The lingo behind Jimmy's "Get Cryphy" party might need some explaining, too: "Cryphy" is the wild-child offspring of "Crunk" and "Hyphy," regional hip-hop styles that encourage getting raw and rowdy on the dance floor, and the super-hype soiree has been a huge success in First Avenue's VIP Room for more than a year.
PLAIN OLE BILL
After spending one year on the road as P.O.S' tour DJ, Bill returned to town to continue building the phenomenon which is he and Jimmy 2 Times' monthly Get Cryphy party. If there's a great hip hop party going on in the Twin Cities, it's likely that Bill is the man behind the turntables. Special Young Bill has been consistently holding it down for years, fluent in classic hip hop, disco, and funk as well as current club rap stompers.
MIKE 2600
MIKE 2600 is a 15-year veteran DJ, having rocked parties from San Francisco to St. Paul, from Oregon to Osaka. After moving to Minneapolis from St. Louis in 2003, Mike immediately began throwing the "Let's Get Electric" party in First Avenue's V.I.P. room, a monthly excursion into Miami Bass, Southern Bounce, 1980s pop classics, disco, and post-punk.
LAST WORD
DJ LAST WORD may not be a household name, but he’s earned respect for his work producing and live mixing for local rappers like Dialogue Elevators, Ernie Rhodes, and more. He's been spinning since 2000, getting his start at former Dinkytown sandwich shop/music venue Bon Appetit.
