THE BLEUU BIO… 

The year was 1982, when anoth­er young dream­er from Bal­ti­more, Mary­land, set off on that long jour­ney to become a DJ. With­out sup­port from the parental unit, who dis­missed his new­ly dis­cov­ered tal­ent as a “fad,” this kid stayed focused on his dream and taught him­self how to spin on a cousin’s DJ equip­ment. Although at that time, Hip-Hop had real beats and rhymes, mak­ing it easy for one to catch the vibe; spin­ning on JVC and Pio­neer straight-arm belt-dri­ven turnta­bles with­out pitch con­trol, was a seri­ous chal­lenge!

As time pro­gressed, this kid grew with his music. Hip-Hop was the start, but some­where through the jour­ney, around the time this young man began col­lege (Frost­burg State Uni­ver­si­ty); he was intro­duced to House Music. If you didn’t know, “…House is a feel­in’…” and that feel­in’ got brand­ed into his soul. Not able to deny the vibe, he began to take this music thing very seri­ous­ly, thus spawn­ing the name Kode Bleuu (pro­nounced Code Blue); a sim­ple play on words, relat­ed to the med­ical con­cept of an emer­gency or seri­ous sit­u­a­tion. Spe­cial­iz­ing in Deep, Soul­ful, Garage, Jackin’, Gospel, and Afro/Latin/Brazilian House, Bleuu began to move crowds at fraternity/sorority par­ties, house par­ties and oth­er col­lege events.

While hon­ing his skills, Bleuu began to cre­ate a local buzz, by dis­trib­ut­ing the ever-pop­u­lar mix­tape. Since Baltimore’s House Music fol­low­ing (at that time) was not as large as Chica­go, New York, or the UK, Bleuu revert­ed back to his Hip-Hop roots, to get his name out there. This musi­cal change worked, but his desire to spin House was over­whelm­ing. Decid­ing to go with his heart, Bleuu began pro­duc­ing House Music mix­tapes.

As Bleuu shopped these mix­es to local radio and any­one else who would lis­ten, a huge break came from DJ Oji of 88.9 WEAA FM, Mor­gan State Uni­ver­si­ty Radio. DJ Oji heard tal­ent, and intro­duced Bleuu’s skills to the mass­es on The Under­ground Expe­ri­ence (10/31/95); a Sat­ur­day night House Music mix show. Bleuu was placed in the guest DJ rota­tion, until radio for­mats changed. In 2000, The Audio Infu­sion was born on the same station/timeslot. Short­ly there­after, Bleuu was intro­duced to DJ Patrick Sci­en­tif­ic, who also placed him into The Audio Infusion’s guest DJ rotation. 

Being adept at spin­ning many gen­res from Hip-Hop to House, Bleuu was able to hold down a three-year, week­ly res­i­den­cy dubbed GROOVE WEDNESDAY, at the Stone Cel­lar in Elli­cott City, Mary­land. Final­ly, Bleuu’s hard work paid off, as he was vot­ed “Best Club DJ” in 2003, via the City Paper’s Best of Bal­ti­more issue. The acco­lades con­tin­ued when Bleuu was vot­ed “Best DJ 2004” and“ Best DJ 2007” via the Music Month­ly Reader’s poll!

Bleuu even­tu­al­ly joined forces with Joey Gen­res (for­mal­ly known as DJ Daz­zle; DJ/producer), and formed the com­pa­ny Silent But Dead­ly Music Group. Since that time, this team has been pro­duc­ing var­i­ous soul­ful house tracks, remix­es, and mix­tapes. Bleuu typ­i­cal­ly pro­vides co-pro­duc­tion, as most of his time is focused on spin­ning. Let it be known that although Bleuu prides him­self on being a vinyl purist, as he rocks Tech­nic 1200’s, Bleuu also con­trols his dance floor, whilst per­form­ing in a dig­i­tal DJ environment.

Well, as you can see, a lot has hap­pened since his ear­ly days, but that’s enough for now. Be sure to expe­ri­ence Kode Bleuu at a live show, to real­ly under­stand his vibe!

At the young age of 10, Mark would pro­vide music for his Mom’s party’s, but when his mom bought him Two Turnta­bles and a Micro­phone at the sweet age of 16, it changed his life, and he nev­er looked back. From Djing House party’s, to spin­ning all his High School events. He even received a cred­it for play­ing music for the school lunch­es, and kids from oth­er schools would gath­er to hear him spin.

This was a time when they tried to ban Hip Hop music from the Pacif­ic North­west. Mark was one of the Few & Proud Pio­neers to keep it alive. From Spin­ning at clubs with oth­er Pio­neers such as JEFF FRADY, PAUL BUTLER, DONALD GLAUDE, to Djing from Seat­tle to Cal­i­for­nia, Cana­da & Latin Amer­i­ca.

DJ SPIVEY
DJ Spivey it was 1980 in Detroit Michi­gan where I first fell in Love with this Music. I was 13 years old and the Music of Choice for Me and my Friends was Pro­gres­sive Dance Music. We didn’t know it at the time but We were actu­al­ly cre­at­ing a Musi­cal Lifestyle of sorts that would fol­low many of us the rest of our lives.

Sure there would be peri­ods when no music was bought and no new mix­es were pro­duced, but time would go by and before you knew it This Music Thing would just Grab hold to Me again…

In 2012 My Musi­cal Jour­ney start­ed again! This dance music would prompt me to start mix­ing on the web via my YouTube Chan­nel with near­ly 30K fol­low­ers, and Sound­cloud with over 4K and count­ing… This music would even take me far away as Bei­jing Chi­na to DJ (Twice). I’m real­ly excit­ed now more than ever because I am are cur­rent­ly liv­ing in Mia­mi pro­duc­ing a num­ber of remix edits and work­ing the pro­duc­tion end of things and plan to own and oper­ate my first long over­due Music Label: “Soul­mate Record­ings” So as they say in The Music Game: “Stay Tuned!”.

Di’Nia Camp­bell aka DJ D.Wills. Although DJ D.Wills is new on the DJ scene, music has always been a huge part of her life. Grow­ing up in a small town north of Chica­go, she was exposed to a lot of dif­fer­ent music gen­res but house music reigned supreme. While in col­lege at Cen­tral State Uni­ver­si­ty, she majored in com­mu­ni­ca­tions, radio and TV and was the music direc­tor for the col­lege radio sta­tion. DJ D.Wills has always thought of her­self as a musi­cal cura­tor com­ing up with playlists for friends’ par­ties or even being that go to per­son for sug­ges­tions on what music is hot. For years she want­ed to DJ but nev­er took the nec­es­sary steps to do so until after becom­ing a mom for the first time in her for­ties. Want­i­ng to do some­thing dif­fer­ent and decid­ing to take a chance, she enrolled in Scratch Acad­e­my in 2018 and has been slow­ing mak­ing her tal­ents known by djing small engage­ments in the Atlanta area. Hav­ing lived in Atlanta since the ear­ly 90s, DJ D.Wills has wit­nessed the music scene explode, open­ing oppor­tu­ni­ties to pur­sue her dreams as a DJ and beyond. Her pas­sion for music is the dri­ving force behind want­i­ng to strive to be a con­tender in this male dom­i­nat­ed are­na. Her mis­sion is to inspire oth­er women of all ages and back­grounds to pur­sue their dreams no mat­ter where they are in life.
