100dBs
Producer/DJ/Soundmurderer
International man of many faces, 100dBs first moved to Strong Island from Israel at the age of one. After finishing school in Jersey and throwing the most memorable parties University of Maryland has ever witnessed, he moved to Brooklyn to see how many neighbors he could enrage. The Argyle Album (think Jay-Z smoking blunts with Robert Smith, Richard D. James, and Thom Yorke) was an underground smash in 2005, and 2007's Brenner's Breaks is your favorite mixtape DJ's favorite mixtape. When dBs isn't making sure you throw your damn Ls up at the party, he's lacing the big homie Ryan O'Neil with only the finest uncut (no homo - see what I did there? It's a circumcision joke). You can get that crack too at www.100dbs.com.
