DJ Slym understands that a big element of DJing is also promotions. Through his company Street Buzz Ent., DJ Slym is strengthening his impact in the Orlando market through mixtapes, club DJing, and party promo. During this year’s Florida Classic weekend you can catch him at several big events, including Dawgman’s 11th Annual Car Show. What’s new? Where have you been DJing? I DJ at Rain on Thursdays with Q45. I’m booked a few nights for the Classic weekend. I’m at a fashion show at Firestone that Thursday during the day. Friday and Saturday I’m at the after party at KOHA’s with Dawgman. Saturday I’m also at Firestone and Roxy. Sunday I’m at the car show and Sunday night I’m DJing at Antigua. When did you move back to Orlando from Palm Beach? I moved back about 4 months ago. Palm Beach is home, but for what I’m trying to do, I’m trying to do things on a bigger scale. What I’m doing would make a bigger impact in Orlando. Are you working with any artists in Orlando? I’m putting together something called The Pipeline to promote different artists to different regions. We’re gonna release a south Florida Pipeline for artists in Palm Beach, Broward, and Dade. We’re gonna be cross-promoting those artists in Orlando, helping them get a buzz up here. I’m gonna take that nationally. I have DJs placed in Mississippi, Dallas, Atlanta. We’re gonna do a Florida/Atlanta Pipeline, a Florida/Dallas Pipeline.

Words by Ms Rivercity Photo by Thomas & Adams Photography Have you put out any mixtapes recently? I’m putting out the Classic Weekend mixtape. We’re putting out 20,000 copies. We’re doing that with Frontline Promotions and Flyer Promo. Who are some of your favorite artists in Orlando? PI Bang is doing his thing. He’s really making a lot of noise. Drop is really increasing what he’s doing. Wes Fif is making noise with his single “Goin In.” He’s from Orlando but he has the song buzzing in Atlanta. KC is doing his thing with the R&B side. Armstrong had a strong movement before everybody went to jail. If we take it back to Palm Beach, G Boy is doin’ his thing. There’s a new producer out of Palm Beach named Schife. He’s working with Triple Cs. Another person to lookout for is Tay Dizm. He’s got a real good single called “Point Em Out” on the Classic mixtape. It’s a banger. How do people get in touch with you?
