| Profile: | DJ CAPITAL J – The Natural Born Killer
(Toronto Canada)
By the power of grey skull this dj is no joke! Conquering all sights and sounds of the disc-jockey world, Dj Capital J has been a triple threat since the age of 13 when he first showed the decks who’s boss.
Trained strictly as a battle DJ, Caps dominated his home town of London Ontario's scratch & mix competitions, where he remained undefeated & king of the dance for all
of his adolescent years, while his production skills, even at such a young age earned him opening slots for supreme legends of hip-hop including Ice-T & Evil E, RUN DMC, EPMD, Red Man and tons more before he even left high school. His wide appreciation for music kept him locked on every sound that appealed to him, from hip-hop to hip-house up to breakbeat hardcore down to the rave then off to the jungle, Caps was on top of it all, mixing and producing oldskool jams that shook down the walls of London till there was nothing left, then eventually packing up his arsenal of dubplates and gunning straight for Toronto.
When Caps aka ‘Public Enemy #1’, arrived on the front steps of Toronto Canada in ‘97, he instantly took the D&B scene by storm, Scratching records with his elbows, feet and chin all while introducing the world to his (now infamous) style of jump-up head crushing D&B with an arsenal of home grown Dub-plates & remixes.Within two months of his arrival he was crowned DJ of the month by TRIBE magazine, who followed things up by releasing the magazines top selling mix tape ever from a Feature Dj, as well headlining the peak of the legendary Canadian party scene from east to west. Then Caps made his American debut in Philadelphia PA leaving the crowd in shock and amazement at what they just witnessed on stage. He Single handedly turned the North American Drum & Bass Party scene upside down, changing the game that opposing djs brought to the tables. From Canada to the UK, top djs stepped up their skills, selection and stage presence to compete with the new blood tearing up the scene.
Over the years, J has been releasing his ever growing monster sound on such labels as Food for thought, Phobic, Wikkid, N20, Mix N Blen, SRM, Frozen, Gangsta Gun, Ruff Soldier Select Records and so on, Starting with such floor mashers as The Throw Down, Niagara Falls featuring MC Fats, Bumbaclot, Mr. Mister, featuring hip-hop all-star (his lil bro) Ron B, the classic riot starter Ante Up Remix, sound clash anthem Dis Da Program, UK smash Evil Streets, the Wikkid Recs Camouflage Series which contained 4 singles, Jackmode, Whos Dat, Beat Boxin and Lock Jaw, followed by the even heavier Bling Series unleashing the Throwdown RMX. All releases mashed up the globe with an amazing response from Europe, US & Canada also receiving a lot of heavy play from the UK’s top Dj’s plus BBC’s 1xtra, KOOL Fm and a long list D&B radio, mixtape & internet mix shows everywhere.
