PQM (Prince Quick Mix)
Yooshi / Rennaisance
New York City, NY
Favored among the likes of Deep Dish, Danny Howells, Hernan Cattaneo and Danny Tenaglia, this New York native (just call him "Quick”) has been influencing the world's underground dance scene since the early 90's.
For a record to attain anthem status with DJ’s around the world is no small feat, but he accomplished just that with his 1997 independent house music interpretation, of the Led Zeppelin rock classic "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You". It was his ageless classic "The Flying Song” (Ibiza anthem of 2001) that became one of the most licensed dance tracks of all time!
While he’s known for his progressive tribal house sounds, his roots are in hip-hop. He earned the name "Quick Mix” as a teenager when first wowing audiences with his "turntablist” skills. Operating under the pseudonym "The Nubian Crackers” with partner The Undercover Brother, from 1991 to 2001 they released many underground anthems and Raw Break Beats just for MC's and DJ's, the support from the growing Hip Hop community for their "CRACKER BEATS" is legendary. In 93 they were nominated for having "The Phattest Kick Drum in Hip Hop" by the Digital Underground and have been sampled by many influential Hip Hop artists like Notorious B.I.G.,Wyclef Jean,Ol' Dirty Bastard and P Diddy... and used by such prominent DJ's like Funkmaster Flex and Kenny Dope, as well as guys around the way who simply were looking for a phat beat to flow over.
