RJD2

RJD2 can make a room shake its collective ass with the best of them. That’s right, Kenny Loggins, RJ is calling you out. Dodging the soul-crushing boredom that usually comes with watching a DJ spin records onstage, RJD2 bounces among four turntables and a sampler while keeping audiences guessing with games such as Name That Tune. And that’s when he isn’t breaking out an acoustic guitar and singing. “I just work off of how people in the room are feeling, what kind of vibe is going on that night,” RJ tells the Pitch. Fans of his critically acclaimed Deadringer and its follow-up, Since We Last Spoke, won’t be disappointed with souped-up versions of their favorites, drenched with hip-hop hooks and soulful funk grooves.
