Any BSM reader that happens to be visiting Big Bad New York City would be well advised to seek the whereabouts of the city's Untouchable DJ Drastic. It's difficult enough competing in the Hip-Hop DJ game. But being a contender in the place that started it all requires an extra creative edge. It's a challenge that Brooklyn-born Daniel M. Johnson, better known as DJ Drastic, has embraced fully.

From low-key beginnings spinning at neighbourhood parties, Drastic's determination to better his life by doing something meaningful saw him acquire both the party-rocking skills and the business-minded approach to start spinning at some of the more celebrated clubs across the bridge in Manhattan.

Radio-wise, Drastic has presented his appropriately-titled ‘Grind Session' shows on AOL Radio and Staten Island college radio station WSIA. He has taught mixing skills to aspiring DJs at New York's famous Scratch Academy, founded The Coalition DJ Network as a collective of key urban music DJs, and promoted artists, the most notable being MIMS, for whom he was largely responsible for promoting the banger ‘This Is Why I'm Hot' to U.S radio and founding the record label American King Music which is distributed exclusively through Capitol Records/EMI.
