A little bit about DJ NEIL ARMSTRONG:
After being tapped by Jay-Z to be his official World Tour DJ, Neil was catapulted into the highest-regarded Hip-Hop tour on the planet. And he held it down. From rocking in front of over 100,000 fans at the Glastonbury Festival, to anchoring a performance on the Letterman Show, to pumping with ice-cold veins at Madison Square Garden (three consecutive shows no less), DJ Neil Armstrong is now in the highest strata of DJ existence. And even though he can now been seen in a Jay-Z video with Mary J. Blige – You’re Welcome, has spun for adidas at the Olympic Games in Beijing, has shared the stage with Rihanna, Beyonce, Kanye West, Young Jeezy, Swiss Beats, Puff Daddy, Timbaland, Bun B, Memphis Bleek, EPMD, and Method Man, or performed alongside Slayer, Interpol, The Cool Kids, Common, Neil Young, Mark Ronson, Coldplay, NERD, and Linkin Park, Neil is as humble and focused as ever.
Acknowledged as the founding father of the DJ Collective the “5th Platoon”, Neil was born and breed in NYC, cutting his teeth in the early 90’s during the era of backpack Hip-Hop and the art of Turntablism. His time spent in the trenches battling and mastering the art of spinning allowed him to rock shows alongside artists across the Hip-Hop spectrum – from De La Soul, The Roots, Company Flow and Biz Markie, to Kanye West, LL Cool J, Busta Rhymes and Wyclef Jean; he was also a member of the critically acclaimed 2 time Grammy -Nominated jazz band – Russell Gunn and Ethnomusicology, playing alongside iconic musicians Kenny Garrett (a member of Miles Davis’ band) and Brandford Marsalis.
Over the last 8 years, he has made an indelible mark in the subgenre of Hip-Hop known as “Mixtape Culture.” Neil’s highly-regarded mixtapes represent his eclectic music taste and have generated considerable press, most-notably in Rolling Stone, Vibe, MTV.com, Theme, URB and Complex. He has been featured in advertising campaigns for adidas and Under-crwn, produced a limited-edition shoe with adidas, was featured in the book Bedroom Rockers, and had a documentary series shot on him by Japanese TV show “NY Streets.” He is also a Rane-sponsored DJ.
Outside of his touring with Jay-Z, Neil has traveled the globe for an array of club appearances and corporate events. He has been the NBA’s DJ of choice for their Rookie Shootout since 2006, and has been hired by a multitude of companies for his services, most notably: Sony Playstation, Kangol, Lotus, adidas, LRG, Stussy, Courvosier, Sapporo, and The Sneaker Pimps World Tour. He has performed in Stockholm, Finland, Norway, Ireland, Holland, Poland, Belgium, Iceland, Nigeria, Germany, Vancouver, Toronto, the Phillipines, China, Singapore, Taiwan, Tokyo, and many more…..
A bit about Dj BIG JACKS:
Busting onto the scene in the late 90s, Big Jacks (aka Jacksploitation) has been working hard to ensure whatever endeavour he’s involved in becomes and remains a successful one. It wasn’t till spring 2001, when Backroad Radio (105.5) first hit the Toronto airwaves, that people started to take notice of the movements of a young Jacks as a DJ. To this day, the founding member of the show, has been committed to producing the program each week, delivering only the best in new, classic, and forgotten hip hop gems to a devoted local and international audience.
2005 has seen Big Jacks further his involvement as a radio personality, take his duties to the next level, and broaden his horizons. March marked the debut of Mixtape Massacre (88.1), hosted by the big man himself. Alongside Linx & Taktiks, the trio won the opportunity to fill the shoes of their Saturday afternoon’s predecessors (Fantastic Voyage, Powermove, Real Frequency). Ushering in a new era for Toronto and continuing the tradition the high profile slot is known for.
Through these radio shows, persistence, hard work, and hunger Big Jacks has rose from becoming not only a DJ that can be heard but seen. Being booked at a number of events around Toronto/GTA and beyond (New York City, Ottawa, Montreal, etc). Making various live appearances from concerts/clubs, to radio and television. Some of these past events include sharing the stage with artists such as: Masta Ace, Boot Camp, Talib Kweli, and many more. As well as making numerous television and radio appearances on: Much Music’s Vibe and Da Mix, NBA XL, and WNYU 89.1′s Halftime Show w/ DJ Eclipse.
This is only the beginning of the ball in motion. To Jacks the limitations for himself and Black Rap are endless, with many more goals to be reached and surpassed everyday.
