DJ Cold Case

About a year ago I moved into my new home in Smyrna, Delaware (read middle of no-where farmland). Our neighbors directly next door just moved from Philly. They are a wonderful couple who are originally from Liberia and St Croix. I love it when they have us over for dinner. They invited us to their wedding where I met their brother/DJ who at the time was playing some awesome African music. I went over to talk to him for a bit and see what kind of equipment he was using. I come to find out that he and I were into the same kind of music. He put on some Chromeo and we had the whole place dancing. DJ Cold Case aka Casey Morris  born in Brooklyn, raised in Liberia and Connecticut, now resides in DC. He started "DJing" when he attended William & Mary. His friends at The J would throw parties and provide the live music. Their fraternity building had a "Party" floor where they had a nice sound system with the speakers hanging from the ceiling. "It (The J) was the residence for Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity but we called it "The J" because we thought of it as our personal club." DJ Cold Case and his friend, Babatunde, use Traktor to cue up the tracks with keyboard shortcuts and "Scratch" with the trackpad. These college parties were only the beginning to Cold Case's hunger to be a better DJ.

Here is one of DJ Cold Case's remix. He tells me its a rough remix that he threw together a few years back. 

About a year ago, he started playing live shows in the DC area. He was using a VCI-100 to learn on. This is what he was using when I met him in May of 2009. I can actually say he was the first one to influence me to pick up an all-in-one controller. He started playing live shows with Dave Bloom at the Upstairs Lounge in DuPont at a party called Beyond. He moved on to play Epic Dance Party with DJ Doc Rok every third Friday. Now you can catch him on Thursday nights spinning at the party Beat Market with DJ Doc Rok at the Rock and Roll Hotel.

DJ Cold Case was recently on Pop, Lock & Drop @ 6 o'clock on WVAU and you can check out his live mix and interview here.
