DJ Urban

There are two artists with this name: 1) Born in Detroit in 1977, Urban moved to Chicago at an early age. Worked in various Chicago based record stores since the mid-1990s. Now produces and DJs, holding a residency at Stammheim in Kassel, Germany in the year 2000. Over the years, Urban’s style has ranged from deep house and acid house to old school house, techno and ghetto. Rees co-founded Bunchlox Music with Karl Almaria as well as started two record labels of his own, Public Housing & Jackin' The Box. 2) DJ Urban has been on the waiting list ever since 2003. After applying for a SpazDek DJ position in 2003 for a hip hop/english music DJ, his superb knowledge in the english top 40 and hip hop fields made him a top candidate to replace DJ Zar upon his retirement in 2006. DJ Urban has showed his amazing knowledge in this style of music. Being a rapper himself, he is able to identify with the crowd. His knowledge and patience show that he is definitely an up and coming English style DJ in our community. Even though the English/hip hop sets are short and often times are pushed to the side, when we do allow for that, he'll show them what's up. Read more on Last.fm.
