This DJ is no stranger to those who have been around for the madness he stirred up on the legendary nights at his former homes: “The Abyss” & “The Club@Firestone” in Orlando, FL! In a city once known as the Euro Epicenter for dance music, D-Xtreme was right in the middle of it. D-Xtreme was introduced to the Electronica sound by Orlando pioneer DJ Kimball Collins in 1987. He began playing several small venues until he ran into guy walking around saying he was going to open a club. That guy happened to be Unknown World’s own Najib Elmasri. He was offered a residency at the new dance club called “The Abyss”. Playing 3 times a week next to his partner DJ Stylus, the madness began. In 1992 “The Abyss” became one of Florida’s premiere spots for banging underground dance music. The nights ran into each other every week and a star was quickly shining. As his popularity grew, D-X began to develop such a big following that it led him to a residency at one of the biggest and prominent spots in Florida club scene, “The Club@Firestone”. As a resident at “The Club”, he made it become the place to go and hear overseas DJs & artists for the first time in the states. He was able to showcase his talents alongside some of the biggest DJs not only of that time but now as well. During that time “The Club” was voted the best Club in the USA by Rolling Stones Magazine and Mixmag. Flying around the world was nothing for DX as he traveled heavily to support his new found popularity. During all this D-Xtreme ran Vinyl Frontier for three years and made it O’towns #1 record store for hot underground dance music. With countless nights of pure pleasure, this DJ brought the Club to a frenzy every Saturday night for 4 years until the city stepped in and shut the party down by changing the drinking and club hours. The club survived but the night went away. When all was said and done the impact was left and the night has been called legendary ever since. That was then. This is now. What is he doing now? In 2008, D-Xtreme partnered up with Trance legend George Acosta to form Grooveman Recordings, a label focused on all genres of quality dance music. During the same time period he also joined forces with music partner Nology and dove deep into the production side of things to further develop this talented artist’s skills. Currently he is working on multiple remixes for several top artists including George Acosta, Keoki, Nocera, DJ Wag, Deetrix & more, adding more as each day passes. It is only a matter of time before you will see the results from such a hard working individual. Adding to the madness, he’s also an A&R rep for (d.)pulse recordings, a label & distribution company that deals with Sony, Universal Music, Cargo Records, IDC and many more majors and distributers. In the same period in 2008, through the channels of Grooveman, he became the Music & Media Managing Partner at Unknown World Entertainment Group. His fresh blood in the company has helped push it into areas the company has never gone before. He feels he has found a home and plans on building on the foundation that is already there. In addition to all those things he is currently set to hit the road and inject his energetic sets to the masses. Look for several dates with George Acosta, Edgar V & Bill Hamel on an Unknown World sponsored tour. This Mini-Tour will start in the state of Florida, work its way through all the major clubs there and branch out to other cities in the US. As you can see this DJ/Producer/Label Owner/A&R Rep/Managing Partner is moving in all directions and headed the right way in order to re-establish himself as a truly special artist. Stay tuned…you won’t want to miss a beat!
