Episode Synopsis

 After 35 years of being in and out the game, SoulMedic’s second birth into DJing was further encouraged by his business partner & nephew DJ WillRod. Hook & Bass Records / Hook & Bass Productions was started with the idea that SoulMedic would be the face of the Company & Record Label. Quick on his feet and with a savvy technical know-how, this creative remixer shows no fear behind the decks. From Old School Music of every genre to the most recent floor bangers, he can find a fit among them and through all genre of music. Although he’s worked with a great diversity of DJs and producers in the past, he thrives on building and developing new relationships wherever he goes. He takes great pleasure in show casing the talents and skills of those he’s built professional and personal relationships with through his radio shows, most recently Vibrations & Rhythms on Hook & Bass Internet Radio via the MixLR application.           His past residencies have been on Cyberjamz Internet Radio & Ember Radio Live and has had many guest spots on other radio show most recently on Welcome 2R House Radio Show in collaboration with Radio Free Brooklyn (NYC).  Excited by new ventures, SoulMedic always is keeping up with the constant changes of the industry. Even with that, his passions are not limited to one thing. Besides pursuing things that make him happy, he enjoys spending time with his extensive family, all of who share his first love, Music! Growing up in NYC's Hells Kitchen, his first official foray into DJing was in 1984 as a High School Senior. After using a neighbor’s equipment to learn on, he purchased his first set of turntables, Technics 1200s. & and a Bozak Mixer. He went from using a simple slide mixer to a rotary mixer and is basically  a self-taught DJ. He hit the mobile DJ scene hard, moving others the way music always moved his soul and eventually landed his first gig in the clubs in one of the NY Hotspots. Seeing what the NY nightlife had to offer he became passioned with it's scene. Throughout his years he has played not only in NY but has also in Los Angeles, Boston, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and internationally in Mexico, Ecuador, Spain to name a few. Has shared the Decks with many local and foreign DJ's.       The DJs that influenced him  were Larry Levan, John ‘Jellybean’ Benitez, Timmy Regisford, Danny Tenaglia, Little Louie Vega, David Morales and so many more. “As soon as I got the chance I hit the club scene watching these DJs do their thing” he fondly recalls. Like many born and bred New Yorkers, skyrocketing prices pushed him to settle elsewhere. Currently residing in New Jersey, he maintains a close relationship to his roots in Hell’s Kitchen through family and music. With a deep commitment to Community, SoulMedic along with his partner DJ WillRod and the rest of the Hook & Bass Productions crew  continue to volunteer their time and services for events that involve children, diabetes or cancer. He champions these causes from personal life experiences that involve those closest to him. His focus is on supporting local charities that give aid to the immediate community or person. This personal undertaking allows for him to see where the assistance goes and in turn keeps him involved in the community he loves.      As a self-professed extrovert his passions keep him active in the nightlife, feeding off of and sharing energies with others in the right industry settings. His passionate focused demeanor carries over from the dance floor to behind the decks to working on projects that impact those he comes in contact with. The many influences that have contributed to his strong sense of community and commitment to excellence include his father, the first two DJs he encountered in his life, Church and learning how to play the trumpet.
