For the 150th episode of the podcast we called in one of our favorite DJs on the planet: LA resident & Philly native DJ EXCEL . Time and time again Ex has cemented himself as one of the most in demand and technically gifted jocks in the industry. The self-taught veteran has over 20 years of experience and has held down residencies in Las Vegas, Miami, New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Atlantic City. He produces with Baltimore’s DJ Impulse in his downtime under the moniker ALFA PAARE who has released 6 EPs and numerous remixes for artists like Dev, Yuna, Leon Bridges, & Silk City. On his second round on the HHP series Excel walks the line between hip hop and electronic bangers programmed in a way to take the energy higher on every record with plenty of his signature cuts and scratches.
