In a world full of run of the mill DJs, Pump stands out as being extremely talented and unique. Pumps abilities are surpassed by few, while his diversity stretches the boundaries of Turntablism and what it means to be a party DJ. When mixing, scratching, creating beat juggles or blending beats, Pump focuses on the overall musical composition and the sound of the end result. His performances have earned him the respect amongst his peers as one of the funkiest and versatile DJ’s around, as well as one of Canada’s best kept secrets.
Pump is one of the few Calgary bred DJs to receive global recognition from many of the world’s most elite hip-hop/versatile DJ’s. To this day he is the only Calgarian to represent Canada in the DMC World Championships. Recently, Pump has signed with TEAM CANADA’s DJ crew/management agency: The Eh! Team DJ’s alongside Jr Flo (Toronto), Illo (Ottawa) and Hedspin (Vancouver).
The brash DJ Pump, who ignited a city and a country back in 2000, is most comfortable when he’s rocking the crowd with his unique blend of hip hop, funk, soul, disco, rock, reggae and everything in-between, using his unbounded DJing skills and talents. His no-gimmick style of skilled accuracy coupled with a distinct ear for all things funky and soulful makes him one of the nation’s most versatile party DJ’s. It’s this balance and diversity which basically encompasses his entire being – the balance of musical value and technical skill, the balance of commercial success and underground credibility and the balance of b-boy cockiness and soft spoken humbleness.
Throughout his career Pump has received many notable awards and accolades, headlined some of the most exciting club nights around the globe and showcased alongside a myriad of hip hops elite such as Afrika Bambataa, Kool Herc, Grand Master Flash, Jazzy Jeff, Questlove, DJ Premier, A Tribe Called Quest, Snoop Dogg, Sean Paul, A-Trak, Q-bert, Rob Swift, Wu-Tang Clan, De La Soul, Beatnuts, Masta Ace, Jurassic 5, Gang Starr and Blackalicious just to name a few. Since then, he’s crafted his credentials to include his highly sought-after mixtapes and CDs. This is a testament to Pumps keen ear for music, credibility and branding. One look at his resume and its no wonder why his loyal fan base continues to grow.
