D'jo

D’jo, a turntablist with roots firmly planted in Texas during the bolstering Dnb scene of the early 2000s, relocated to Minneapolis, Mn in 2006. In 2011, D'jo was introduced to juke/footwork by FreshtillDef and Moondoctor. Consequently, over the next year, he would submerge himself deep into the culture of footwork. From that time, he aided the two in the conception of Freshmoon Records, LLC., and continues to be an integral part in the further development of the label.

For 2013, he launched DISTRICT160, the weekly internet show dedicated to the global advancement of Footwork and Turntablism. Subsequently, he established the bi-weekly residency, D160:OnSite, held at Maruso Street Food Bar. D160:OnSite is the only broadcasted event series, in Minneapolis, that provides an atmosphere for one to experience the culture of footwork. As a result, the proclaimed duke of Minneapolis juke, was inducted into TekkDJz. A crew, founded by the late DJ Rashad and Traxman, consisting of hand-picked djs/producers from around the world who are committed to: “Saving the world from bad music.” Furthermore, the duke, through DISTRICT160, continues on with his mission of cultivating the earth with Footwork/Turntablism.
