DJ Neil Armstrong. Maybe you remember him battling as a member of the Almighty 5th Platoon during the heyday of turntablism. Or maybe you’ve picked up one of his numerous legendary mixtapes. Perhaps you read about him in Rolling Stone or Vibe Magazine. Or better yet, maybe you recognize him as the man backing up the Jigga Man himself during Jay-Z and Mary J Blige’s “Heart of the City” tour. Regardless of where you recognize him from, we are truly excited to bring him to you live and in the flesh.

Born and Breed in NYC, He cut his teeth in the early 90.s honing his skills in the realm of turntablism, the sect of DJing where proficiency in kutting, scratchin, and beatjuggling define status. His time spent in the trenches battling and mastering the art form allowed him to rock shows alongside artists across the Hip Hop Spectrum - from De La Soul, The Roots, Company Flow and Biz Markie, to Kanye West, LL Cool J, Busta Rhymes and Wyclef Jean.

Over the last 7 years, he has made a mark in the subgenre of Hip Hop known as the Mixtape Culture. To these mixtape projects Neil always brings his experience - from his eclectic music tastes, to the ideas of artistic integrity - and he has gained notoriety for smoothness, creativity and originality by making products that hinge entirely on the ideals of good music and skills. This is what separates his mixtapes from the rest of the pack.

Everyone from the hipster set to the industry heavyweights have taken notice. He made Rolling Stone's "Top 10" Mixtape DJ's of 2005 list, was recognized by Vibe Magazine as one of the next DJ's "on deck" to watch out for, had his cd's featured on MTV.com's Holiday Essentials Feature, and gained honorable mentions in Mixunit.com's Power 30 List of "The most influential players in the mixtape game". In 2007, he received a SEA Mixtape Award for the best Old School R&B. Category.

Almost 10 years later, the mixtape projects that he created are still sought after and revered. This a testament to what Neil brings to the plate, as longevity is one of the things that cannot faked or bought, and something that few in this world of disposable DJ's have. The proof is in the pudding: the best word to describe Neil Armstrong is Classic.
