DJ MAC - Some people think I'm CRAZY the way i love my old skool, but that's my prerogative - so check this out !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Influences
That's a long long list which includes R Kelly, Blackstreet, New Edition, Brotherhood Creed, K7, Guy, After 7, Joe Public, Tony Toni Tone', Ralph Tresvant, Kid N Play, Shai, Hi-Five, Nuttin Nyce, Horrace Brown, Montel Jordan, Joe, Maxwell, Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince, NWA, Bell Biv DeVoe, Riff, Bobby Brown, Luther Vandross, Al Green, George Benson, The Real Thing, Gap Band, Denise Williams, Patti Labelle, Aretha Franklin, James Ingram, Marvyn Gaye, The Staples Singers, Brand Nubian, Ice Cube, Tupac, Naughty by Nature, Richie Rich, Nas, Jaheim etc etc
From a production perspective, I always loved The Trackmasters (Tone & Poke), Teddy Riley (of course), Jermaine Dupri (he's got the midas touch, except that everything he touches turns to Platinum not Gold - lol), Darron Jones (from 112) and my boys Phil & Chris from BnA Productions who are in the UK trying to make it to the Big Time (and succeeding I might add).
Sounds Like
You can expect to hear classic jamms that you had forgotten even existed sampled in with accapella's of new tracks or newer tracks sampled and scratched in over those classic beats that you know and love. You're guarenteed to be smiling by the end of the experience!
Basically DJ MAC sounds like nothing you've ever heard before so you had better come down and check out a live show soon or stream 96One FM online by clicking below.
