Merlin Bobb, a Brooklyn native and renowned DJ, is widely credited as a pioneer of the house music scene. His success in the industry has recently earned him recognition from Boiler Room, who invited him to perform his first live DJ set in 2022.

Merlin landed his first mix show on WBLS and quickly became a favorite among dance music fans. Over the years, he experimented with different techniques and musical styles, pushing the boundaries of what was possible with DJ-ing. This signaled the start of a long and illustrious career in the entertainment industry.

Merlin's influence extended far beyond the DJ booth. As an executive at major music recording labels like Atlantic and Elektra Records, he was instrumental in introducing the burgeoning house music scene to a wider audience.

He also signed and hired prominent dance music DJs and producers like Frankie Knuckles, Timmy Regisford, Roger Sanchez, Kerri Chandler, David Morales, Louie Vega, Tony Humphries, and Pete Tong to sign artist, produce remixes and help spread the house music sound.

Merlin co-founded Club Shelter, a legendary nightclub that quickly became the epicenter of NYC's house and dance music scene. The Shelter brand and culture it sustained continue to reverberate around the world's house music scene to this day.

Merlin has recently returned to DJ-ing, much to the delight of his fans, and continues to be an influential figure in the world of house music.
