DJ DRM
Founder / Producer / DJ - Brooklyn, NY.
Brooklyn’s DJ DRM (aka Aaron Schultz) has traveled the world over DJing his own brand of eclectic party rockers, jazzy beats, classic dancehall, latin and afro influenced tropical breakbeats, stripped down disco and dubbed out rudeboy broken sounds. As co-founder and label manager of Brooklyn’s Bastard Jazz Recordings, Aaron has been the driving force behind a successful DJ’s label that has become known for its tasteful, dancefloor style that consistently straddles the line between down and up-tempo beats, but yet remains eclectic, drawing heavily from the tide pools of dub, jazz, hip-hop, and latin music. As 2010, Bastard Jazz moves well into the double digits of release numbers and has a well regarded highly sought after spin off label, BSTRD Boots, which DJ DRM is also behind.
Aaron is also the man behind two highly regarded NYC parties, Digging Deeper, Bastard Jazz’s monthly Thursday event focused on the entire spectrum of organic dancefloor filling music, and the Dubwise Sessions, a monthly exploration of all music Jamaican thats at the very forefront of the new Brooklyn underground dub & reggae scene.
