DJ Spinna

By Bernard Hacker

Published on March 20, 2008

Spinna is one of the busiest working producers and DJs on the planet. Not many can keep their hands on the pulse of the next shit when it comes to both hip-hop and dance music, but Spinna has stayed in the forefront of more genres than a United Nations summit. In the past year, he produced the Polyrhythm Addicts' fresh Break Glass LP, as well as joints for Sadat X, Ovasoul 7, the Jigmastas, and Jeremy Ellis, to name a few. Meanwhile he's been getting ready to drop the sequel to his Heavy Beats compilation, nine years after the first installment. He also keeps a heavy DJing schedule, including the renowned traveling Stevie Wonder tribute jams he throws with fellow legend Bobbito Garcia. Check him playing house, boom-bap, and buttery biscuits all over Miami this conference.
