DJ Risk One of the “BumSquad DJz” is a top shelf performer with a turntablist background. From his success as a Crooklyn Clan remixer, to his Las Vegas residencies, his eclectic and unpredictable abilities will have you begging for more. Seamlessly weaving between styles and genres, he clearly stands apart as one of the most creative and technically well-rounded DJs on the market. Its no fluke that Risk has held a minimum of four residencies a week for the past 4 years, spread across multiple cities. His dance floor arsenal spans from exclusive mashups to classic party-joints, hip-hop to house, and everything in between. Versatility in the club is what made him the hot commodity for elite corporate events such as Microsoft, Playboy, Scion, and GQ; not to mention LRG Clothing and Skull Candy headphone sponsorships. His demand even expands into international waters, as he was hand-selected to be the celebrity-guest DJ aboard the largest cruise ship in the world, touring the Caribbean Islands.

Being a club/show/battle DJ are not enough for Risk One, who’s superior production skills landed him on the A-list roster of Crooklyn Clan Vault artists, distributing his mashups on the most widely-known remix site worldwide. In addition, his work has also received dozens of online write-ups and countless downloads. From clubs to corporate, mashups to mixtapes, DJ Risk One is the all-in-one party starter who strangles the game from all angles.
