About DJ Assault

"Craig Adams may be DJ Assault, but DJ Assault is not Craig Adams. Although the two look and dress exactly the same, it is immediately noticeable that while producer / remixer DJ Assault is busy pimping the bitches and slapping the hoes, Craig is busy building his empire while simultaneously developing a whole new genre of music. 'DJ Assault is really just a character,' states Craig. 'His style is pimp – he's got that player vibe. DJ Assault has the perfect lifestyle: he can say and do whatever he wants.' Craig, on the other hand, is quiet, reserved and observant; he'd rather let his art speak for itself. Born and raised in Detroit, radio jocks like the Electrifying Mojo, The Wizard (Jeff Mills' alter ego) and Chicago's Hotmix Five all made lasting impressions on the young artist. Mixing records since 1982, Craig has been indoctrinating people with his own take on electronic and dance music. Anything is game when Assault DJs, be it house, techno, jungle, R&B or whatever – as long as booties are bouncing. He's rocked parties around the world, including sets in Germany, Holland, France, Spain and throughout North America. Each time it's the same: When he steps up to the decks and unleashes that high-speed booty-shake, the audience has only one option – to shut up and dance. Songs like 'Ass 'n Titties' and 'Yo Relatives' have turned into genre classics, but please don't call it ghetto-tech. 'Accelerated Funk' is DJ Assault's one-of-a-kind style – the kind of signature sound that will have its place in the music history books for decades to come. What Dr. Dre is to Cali, Luther Campbell is to Miami, Timbaland is to Philly, or the Artist Formerly Known as Puffy is the East Coast, DJ Assault is to Detroit."
