DJ Riddles

in the late 90s, Riddles found his passion for DJing, starting out in neighborhood venues as a teenager. His journey took off when he landed his first gig at the legendary Metropolis nightclub. As he honed his skills, the head promoter began booking him for various 18+ gigs, including iconic Manhattan clubs like Exit, Limelight, Sound Factory, and Roxy, along with 18 and over parties in New Rochelle. It was a pivotal moment when he opened for DJ Sizzahandz at OHM. Not only did he teach Riddles the art of mixing records seamlessly, but he also imparted invaluable knowledge on timing, reading a crowd, and selecting the right tunes. From there, his career soared as he started getting booked at 21 and over venues while maintaining residencies at Remi and DNA, and spinning at weekly rotations in Manhattan hotspots like Home, Guest House, Providence, Lotus, 58, and more. As the music landscape evolved with the rise of open format and mashups, he turned to DJ Sizzahandz once again for guidance. He introduced him to his first digital audio workstation (DAW), empowering him to create his own edits and mashups. After a hiatus from the scene, DJ Sizzahandz convinced him to jump back in, and his mentorship continues to inspire and guide him to this day. Today, armed with years of experience and a passion for keeping the dance floor moving, he blends a diverse range of music to create unforgettable experiences for audiences everywhere.
