DJ VIZE BIO:
Portland's DJ Vize is regarded as the Pacific NW's most prolific nuskool breakbeat artist, and one of the top breakbeat dj's/artists in the USA. His combination of dj skills, successful vinyl releases and remixes, and mind-blowing synthesizer chops set him far apart from the masses. Classically trained in nearly every orchestral instrument, and well-versed in music theory and composition, he has been playing and writing music for nearly all of his life.
Vize has steadily built a discography of critically-acclaimed vinyl releases on respected domestic and import breaks label such as: DJ Spice’s Version 3.0 Records, Urban J’s Top Caliber Records, J-Bass’ Born Idle Records, as well as his own Vizion Music imprint. His tracks have received major support from Krafty Kuts, Jay Cunning, General Midi, BLIM, Stereo 8, Capoeria Twins, Bass Kleph, Vlad Sokolov, J-Bass, Angus Robinson, Madame Mercury, DJ Moon, and the list goes on. His latest releases "Hustlin' Music," "Acid Zapp" and "Jammin' Ya Tekz" have helped Orlando, Florida's Oven Fresh Records grow to one of the top new domestic breaks labels.
Currently enjoying a 23 International ranking for Breaks on thedjlist.com, Vize has proven himself as a performer during his seven-plus years behind the decks and keys. He has appeared at major venues from Vancouver BC to Las Vegas to Orlando and a wide variety of places in-between. He has been featured multiple times on Portland's KNRK 94.7FM and Seattle's C89.5FM, as well as internet radio shows such as iBreaks.co.uk, BreaksFM, Nuskoolbreaks.co.uk, Proton Radio, and on the Annie Nightingale Show on BBC Radio1.
Combine this with a powerfully energetic synth-driven, keyboard-skills-flexin’ Live PA and you have one of the USA’s most dynamic young breakbeat artists!
