Celebrating the release of DJ Center's new album "Everything in Time"

DJ CENTER:

The Romanian-Born, New York-bred, tastemaker's set is synomonous with the finest of selections whether he is doing Music Supervision for Gucci, recording radio sessions for Giant Step, or keeping NYC parties on their feet until the wee hours. Always aiming to break new music and celebrate forgotten gems, Center’s sound has maintained his signature styling of soulful, feel-good music for audiences worldwide.
Live, Center has brought together artists like Talib Kweli, Rob Swift, ?uestlove, Pete Rock, Grandmaster Flash, J.Rawls and Eric Roberson to take crowds higher at his classic sessions.

The year 2010 marks DJ Center’s debut as producer with the LP, "Everything in Time". The tunes are from the soul and have been cooked slowly to perfection, as Center’s debut release is three years in the making. The album is reflective of his experience as a New Yorker with an affinity for the internationally diverse roster of artists who collaborated on the release. Album includes: Oddisee, Renee Neufville(Zhane), MiddleChild & others. With a remix by Waajeed of Platinum Pied Pipers.

Beloved LA based DJ and radio personality Garth Trinidad states he's fighting the war against musical mediocrity and cultural ignorance. Any fans who listen to his critically acclaimed, nightly music mix on top ranking NPR affiliate KCRW 89.9fm & kcrw.com, or attend his carefully curated events can attest to his claim. Garth works relentlessly to expose the new and progressive while paying homage to the classic by weaving together intergalactic tapestries of sound, artfully exploring a multitude of genres, roots, and movements worldwide. He seeks purity in music; sexy, raw, rhythmic, and dynamic--from jazz, indie rock, afro-beat, and samba, to hip hop, afro-punk, house, techno, etc.

Through his work in radio, event production, music supervision, and as a voting member of The Recording Academy, he's broken artists like Gnarls Barkley and MIA, exposed music of independent bands on HBO's Emmy winning series, Entourage, and is partially responsible for The Grammy Awards "Best Urban Alternative Performance" category. With a philosophical and modern psychedelic approach as a curator and music
programmer, Garth Trinidad has become a global influencer, ever swimming upstream to demonstrate the limitless potential of music as connector of all things human. More at garthtrinidad.biz, themojamoja.com, kcrw.com.
