VSL Friday: Showtime at the Apollo feat. DMC World Champion Dj Apollo April 6, 2009

FRIDAY 04.10.09

$4 Red Bull Vodka 9-10pm

DJ APOLLO is a hip hop legend and musical pioneer who helped lay the foundation for the subculture known as turntablism. Born in the Philippines and raised in San Francisco, Apollo is a jack of all trades known for his many musical styles, from hip hop to R&B, soul, funk, breaks, 80's, disco, and rap. He was one of the first DJs to experiment with the turntable as a musical instrument, which helped elevate the skill into an artform and turn the DJ into a musician. Apollo also continues to create and master new forms of turntable trickery. He has an ongoing series of highly-coveted mixes that incorporate different genres in live gigs and studio beats, and spreads his musical acumen with DJ gigs throughout the world. Get ready, it's Showtime.
