Chatting It Up With Bamboozles House DJ: DJ Prime

It seems very unlikely that a festival housing some of the best punk, pop-punk, emo, screamo, and hardcore acts would feature a DJ. Aren't DJs for the clubs, not the most pits?! This is just one of the many ways this years Bamboozle Festival is spicing things up; by inviting DJ Prime to DJ both days of the event! You won't know what he'll be spinning. You won't know what he'll be scratching. And you sure won't know who may be hopping on stage with him! This is what DJ Prime had to say about Bamboozle:

Have you ever played the Bamboozle Festival before?
DJ Prime: I have not played the Bamboozle yet, but I am excited to play in front of 40,000 people that are coming to hear bands play and I am not a band (obviously). So, I am excited to expose myself to people who normally wouldn’t get to hear me DJ. As for who I am going to share the stage with that’s the best part of the Bamboozle, anything can happen. You will just have to see who may jump up on stage and rock out with me. It could be an up and coming artist with a big buzz like Phil Benson or it could be Weird Al Yankovich who knows.

How did you get involved with the Bamboozle Festival?
DJ Prime: I have been working with John D from Max Cruise for about eight years and he has always been about Career Development of Artists that he felt would make an impact if they were positioned for success. He has established so many artists and hopes that I will be the next artist to break out of the local area onto bigger and better things. The Bamboozle will expose me to many artists, record labels, sponsors and celebrities alike. This event will give me the opportunity to interact with all of them.

What can the crowd expect from DJ Prime's performance at Bamboozle?
DJ Prime: The fans can expect some fun music, they came to see all the bands, so I’m going to give them all the bands all mixed up and scratched. I am providing a little HYPE session for all of them as they come into the park.
