America's Favorite House DJ, Bad Boy Bill, releases his first ever live mix
album/concert DVD, Behind The Decks LIVE CD + DVD this October. Nationwide album
launch tour kicks off Oct 12 in Sacramento.
Recently voted "America's Favorite House DJ - 2006" by the readers of BPM
Magazine (an award which he also won in 2003), Bad Boy Bill releases his first
ever live mix album & concert DVD, Behind The Decks LIVE. With Bill's
reputation built upon his phenomenal club sets that incorporate extravagant
visuals and live dance performances in addition to Bill's fierce turntable
prowess, it was only logical for Bill to release his first ever live performance
audio/visual set. Filmed and recorded over Memorial Day weekend 2006 at three of
the nation's premier nightclubs: The Church in Denver, Avalon in Hollywood, and
Crobar in Bill's hometown of Chicago, the DVD features footage shot from over 10
cameras captured in stunning Dolby 5.1 and DTS Surround Sound. Never one to
short his fans, the DVD rounds out at over 2 hours and includes exclusive
multi-media content, behind the scenes features, exclusive visuals, &
interviews in addition to the live concert footage.
We would be remiss, however, if we did not talk about the amazing
music featured on Behind The Decks LIVE. From the start, this mix grabs
your attention with its banging electro house vibes and doesn't let go.
Bill effortlessly weaves outstanding tracks and remixes from current house
music heroes Eric Prydz, Green Velvet, Steve Angello, Sebastian Ingrosso,
Paul Woolford, Fedde Le Grand, Kurd Maverick, Joachim Garraud, JJ Flores
& Steve Smooth into a very owsounding club set, all the while
incorporating his traditional use of multiple a cappellas to create on the
fly mash ups. The mix album also features exclusive new original
productions from Bad Boy Bill himself ("Just Like I Want" and "Someday"),
making this a release that you have to see to believe.
Bill got his start DJing as a teenager, joining a DJ crew in
the neighborhood and spinning at DJ battles. Only a senior in high
school, Bad Boy Bill started his own record label. He eventually became
a household name on Chicago's B96, using his "Bad Boy Bill" audio ID as a way
of distinguishing himself from the other DJs on the radio. Today, Bill
spends most of his time producing tunes in the studio or out on the road,
playing up to 150 gigs annually, everywhere from New York, Chicago, and Los
Angeles to international hotspots including Peru, Columbia, Germany, England,
and Spain. |
