About
Multi-award winning DJ, including Best DJ in 2006-2008 for the Omaha Entertainment & Arts Awards, Scion/Imeem Breakthrough Emerging Artist in 2006, named one of Omaha's top artists of the year in 2009 by The Reader and recognized as a NextAid.org artist, Brent Crampton has been pushing the boundaries of music and culture throughout the Midwest.
His sound centers around the deep house and global soul movement, yet defies genres, dropping anything from underground disco, conscious hip hop, party rocking classics, post punk and world flavors such as afrobeat, samba and bhangra. Most importantly, his music has a message: Bringing people together – connecting through music – releasing in dance.
He began his love affair of DJing in the fall of 2000 and has since held residencies or played at all of the top nightlife spots in the Omaha area. His monthly event, "loom - Weaving the Social Fabric Through Dance" founded in 2006 has established itself as "the longest running dance party" in Omaha, according to the City Weekly. Guests such as Kevin Yost, jojoflores, Sabo, FLX, Sabine, Raven Fox, Joe DiPadova and Julius The Madthinker alongside Crampton have brought a soulful and multicultural dance party to a middle-tier Midwestern city that previously had none.
In addition to his Turntable Tutorial DJ class, the art-music fusion shows of the past - ColorSound and Art Reach, holding the Mr. X spot for the Red Bull Music Academy and being the NextAid.org Omaha rep, his promotions and DJing falls within philanthropy, touches on social progression, education, art and elevating culture.
His impression has been made throughout North America and beyond, having performed in places such as London, Mexico, NYC, Chicago, Miami, Montreal, Las Vegas, Boston and Hawaii. He's promoted shows or played alongside talent such as King Britt, The Rapture DJs (The Rapture), Todd Fink & Jacob Thiele of The Faint, Alton Miller, Colette (OM), Sierra Leones Refugee Allstars, Woody McBride, Josh One and Tim Sweeney (DFA). In all, his driving ambitions have made him one of the most sought after and active DJs in the area. “There is a healing power in music - and I want to get that out to the people.”
