DJ Rozz - MixmasterMusic.com,
www.dj-rozz.com - Chicago, IL
Six years ago, DJ Rozz, a young teenager with a love for dance music decided he wanted to do more than just listen to the music he loved. He wanted to mix it himself and make people wanna dance. With inspiration from the movie Juice, Rozz was determined to make his dream come true. Low and behold, a DJ was born. He dubbed himself DJ Rozz (ask him what it means, and I bet you, he won't tell!)and bought his first set of turntables. With connections from a well known DJ, TKC, he managed to learn some tricks of the trade, and score some promo records from him as well. Rozz studied the way Chris would scratch, and blend one song into another, and soon adopted his own mixing style. He practiced everyday, and soon, he was making his own mixes, just for practice.In 2000, DJ Rozz began to work on his first cd, Club Excursions 2001, the Progressive Era. He started out with a live mix, but half way through, he decided to use his computer to finish it. He added drops, samples and scratches, and in February 2001, the cd was released.In the summer of 2001, Rozz began to make his second cd, Something for the Clubkidz. But right before the cd was to debut, he was told that he had to change the name, because another DJ had a series called "Something for the Clubheads." After much consideration, he chose Clubkidz Unite; meaning a tribute to the tragedies that happened on September 11th. Finally, in January 2002, Clubkidz Unite was released.A week after the release of Clubkidz Unite, Rozz went to Club Amazon in Madison, and brought along a copy of the cd.

With newly made connections across the US, Splatterhouse along with Distorted Trauma's Ballistic Ali aim to destroy eardrums with devestating beats.
