No Headphones

AJ Bell

Philadelphia, United States

Bookings: email: ajbell1279@gmail.com A totally obsessed music collector specializing in anything and everything quality, with an unhealthy desire to share and introduce people to sounds they may not have already heard. Was introduced to the party scene in Detroit & Toronto, and quickly fell in love with Detroit techno after hearing Jeff Mills' 'Live at the Liquid Room'. AJ sold live DJ sets burned onto compact discs at parties all over the Detroit area in the early 2000's, and began collecting techno/house tracks in 2003. Finally deciding the collection had to be shared in 2007, and learned to mix/blend w/laptop and midi controller w/o an audio interface, thus no headphones. After years of being a techno purist, all the other influences began to seep back in, which inspired The Soul Pickle parties in Philly. With the help of the rizumu crew, The Soul Pickle has hosted the likes of Eddie C, DJ Nature, Jamie 3:26, Social Disco Club, Anthony Mansfield, DeWalta, Vincent Lemieux, Sergio Santos, Secrets, Matthew Kyle, and so on. So far AJ has played in Detroit, New York, DC, Baltimore, and all over Philly. He dreams of sharing his diverse taste with music lovers worldwide.
