Philadelphia's DJ Excel (pictured) explains how he went about modifying Ne-Yo's "Closer", so it would fit perfectly in a DJ's club set during peak time and at the same time keep the crowd moving on the floor.
Excelerators Little Shuffle remixes are a must, if you spin in venues where Ne-Yo gets requested or you dig his music, but just haven't found anything of his suitable to play during your set, at that time.
Philly is in the building. The World Famous DJ Excel is in the building.
Here's the homies take on Freeway's- Flipside (which features Peedi Crakk) - jawn
One of the few DJ's / producers who makes club music I actually like and whose tracks DON'T sound like a lot of the soulless "Mosquito Music" (*) that's out there.
* Philadelphian DJ/ Hip Hop legend Cosmo Baker of the infamous Rub DJ collective coined this term to my knowledge, while expressing his frustration at the throwaway nature of a lot of new electro based rubbish that's filling the clubs right now.
Just like the first freshly baked homemade cookie from the oven, here's a fresh new tune from the inbox straight to you, from Philly's DJ Excel. Described by the man himself as a Jack House / B-More style joint, it's a squelchy, bass with the boom, heavyweight, intoxicating, made for the club, heater.
