The aptly-named DJ Flash usually provides the same response when asked to capture his style in words – it’s impossible to describe briefly. In order to fully understand the musical elements that comprise one of his sets, you’d have to know that “Flash” is no misnomer. Named by friends who couldn’t help but notice his frequent, sudden bursts of energy, Flash is known for his vibrant style that never ceases to animate the dance floor. It’s these lively sets that have turned him into a crowd-pleasing favorite whose fans range in their scope of musical preferences. In a typical set, Flash has been known to drop hard-hitting hip hop, rock, and rousing vocal anthems, all intermingled with the occasional unruly and unexpected electro beats.
His varied taste in music aside, Flash’s unique deejay style is enhanced by his natural musical ability. Born into a family with deep musical roots, Flash is also a formally trained musician who excelled at his study of the drums and piano. It is this training that accounts for his ingenuity when it comes to mixing and matching his choice of tracks, all while showing off his distinct scratching style.
A testament to his talent, Flash has garnered a reputation that speaks for itself. That reputation precedes him, and in just three short years of professional deejaying, he has earned residencies at a number of top NJ/NYC nightclubs such as Providence Atlantic City, Karma, Pacha NYC & 4Sixty6. Most recently, Flash’s sets have become available to the masses through his podcast’s addition to the iTunes store, where he will deliver weekly episodes of his unpredictable, high-energy mixes.
