Nael Spykid Barbosa started DJ’ing a few years ago. he initially
began experimenting with music while lived in Germany with
MP3’s on a Hercules console. But he wasn’t really digging the
vibe of playing music off a computer; since h was raised
listening to his mum’s soul and disco records back in the late
70’s. His first turntable was a Sony USB belt drive, which he
used for about two weeks, and afterwards he decided to
purchase two MK2’s, and later called it Everything Crash Sound
System. He really began to get drawn to Djing over 10 years
ago, with his with friends from Puerto Rico who were part of
Boricuas Bestiales Fanzine (Jose Gabriel, Javier Tous, and Omar
Dauhjare) used to Spin anything from Punk, Ska, reggae and
Salsa in a club called Café Ceda in old San Juan. He remember
they used to really kill it. For him, he’s only used to photograph
the scene, because he really couldn’t afford records back then.
The first record he bought was Jackie Mittoo in London. From
there I continued to learn the art of DJ’ing, from collecting, crate
digging, cyber digging, buying records from all over the world
and spinning Boss reggae, dub, soul and early Oi!. The first time
he spinned records was in Puerto Rico with DJ Johnny Bowy,
and later that day he spinned at another bar with DJ Melkiades,
both sub-culture kids from his Island. Currently he live in near
Seattle, and he spin strictly boss reggae with a pinch of dub and
soul.
