Soulstrut's very own djcoolhands should be near the top of that list.



He's going to be starting a couple new nights out there soon

For Hip Hop DJ Mel is the best in town in my opinion. I play out every now and then but I'm one of those DJ's that concentrates more on track selection than scratching or tricks.

YES INDEED!

And for those that don't know, Baby G is an OG. He won the DMC in like, 1990? Dude goes waaaaaay back.

And Nick Nack and Mel are definitely very cool folks.

Baby G is one of the best i have ever seen. Austin or elsewhere. His dancehall cannot be f'cked with, and the dude does a perfect job embracing new music while still giving time to the classics.

Fuck yeah, that dude was nice....I remember this.
I think I actually have this DMC on video tape somewhere.
